#013 - Jocelyne Saab’s Cinema of Ruins and Resistance

On the podcast this week, we're talking about Jocelyne Saab, a pivotal figure in the history of Lebanese cinema, whose pioneering work shifted between television reportage, documentary, ripped-from-the headlines popular cinema, photography, and gallery work across a career shaped by Beirut and the Lebanese Civil War. Her early films captured this upheaval, the Palestinian liberation struggle, and other crucial regional political happenings of the time with rare immediacy, while her later work grappled, often imperfectly, with the question of how images can bear witness to and carry traces of living history.

#011 - Edward Yang's Confucian Confusions

One of the undeniable masters of 1980s and 1990s cinema, Taiwanese filmmaker Edward Yang has only grown in stature since premiering Yi Yi at Cannes in 2000 and his untimely death in 2007. This week on the Outskirts Film Podcast, we revisit Yang’s seven films—drifting through Taipei’s glass office towers and bustling streets, tracing lives caught between intimacy and urban alienation—and set out in search of our own path through these dazzling formal labyrinths.

#010 - Santo and Outskirts vs. The Evil Cinema Canon

This week on the Outskirts Film Podcast, we slip on the silver mask and enter the gloriously low-budget universe of El Santo, eternal protector of Mexican cinema and unquestionably the greatest luchador-film star of all time.

#009 - The Indecent Desires of Doris Wishman

This week on the podcast, Outskirts team peeps through the keyhole into the unabashedly salacious cinema of sexploitation queen Doris Wishman. A late-bloomer as a filmmaker, Wishman first became famous with her nudie-cuties in the early sixties. Parallel to the shifting morals in American entertainment industry, her cinema got rougher, tougher and politically dubious than ever. As Doris herself probably watches us Wishmaniacs with utter disinterest and disbelief from above, in dildo heaven, we enjoy talking about her masterpieces with pleasure and no guilt whatsoever.
