Thanks to all the wonderful editors at Camera Obscura for helping to shepherd this along! Truly a dream place to publish for me, given that Camera Obscura has always been a space full of work by scholars I deeply admire.

Hi! This happened to me at this exact point in the film 💀 was this at the Rio Theatre in Vancouver, by any chance??
