Parlez-vous français? Don't worry if you don't know French. "The Super 8 Years," an autobiographical film and directorial debut of French author Annie Ernaux has subtitles. (Sorry if you're a 'dubs, not subs' type but yay if you're not?) This 61-minute journey in home movies delves into the author/director's family life from 1972 to 1981. Chronicling the highs and lows of being a wife, mother, and young author, "The Super 8 Years" tiptoes the boundaries of nostalgia without lingering too long there. While you might expect to see French suburban life of a certain era portrayed in the all-Super 8 film, it's not all you see. You also catch glimpses of Albania, Egypt, Spain, and the USSR. Perhaps most poignantly, you see and hear Ernaux's observations about how what's not shown on camera says the most about her marriage, its eventual decline, and how this period was crucial to her becoming a published writer. "The Super 8 Years" opens Dec. 17, 2022 at DCTV in New York City. Find out more here.

Ranting, raging...this is a comedic one-woman show about finally giving in and reading Jack Kerouac's critically acclaimed Beat Generation novel On the Road as a recent divorcée and authoress in her early 30s. Damn, isn't she glad she didn't read it as a young, impressionable English major! It's so much better that she read it as a jaded survivor of marriage and the publishing industry! What's so great about the book again? Seems like all the wives and girlfriends get a pretty raw deal! And let's count all the ways you can tell a man wrote the book! You think he packed all those road trip snacks himself?

​It doesn't matter if you've read the book before, either. Christine will have juicy excerpts selected for you, don't worry.
