Great videos — thanks for posting. I’ve been reading about the street as a space of anxiety in early cinema, and how contemporary scholars frequently assume any woman alone in the background is automatically a prostitute. Navigating the street AND owning sexuality without presenting that assumption is something that continues to be difficult to demonstrate and visualize, which is one reason I absolutely LOVE the Yo!
