The Situationship

Overview

A queer college romance starring archival Clara Bow. "This short is adapted primarily from The Wild Party, 1929, Dir. Dorothy Arzner, a lesbian and one of the only women directors in the early decades of Hollywood. While browsing the archive for material of the era, I was inspired by the relatively subversive pre-code portrayals of women's sexuality, and wanted to overlay that with a contemporary romantic construct as well as celebrate the inherent gay subtext of the original film" - Samara Meyer Placed third in the 2025 Public Domain Day Remix Contest.
