## Resource

Jay and Meredith bookend the very first episode about Lars von Trier with another movie made by von Trier. They along with their guests, Emmett Goodman, who is Jay’s professor at CUNY, and Scout Tafoya, the past guest, discuss Lars von Trier’s Dogville. They talked about the use of sexual violence as a narrative crutch, timelessness of American suburban facade, the surprisingly relevant politics regarding how the US today treats migrants and refugees, how von Trier applied Brecht’s distancing effect, how to bring it into a medium of animation through mixed-media, and Lotte Reiniger’s body of works. Jay wants an answer to the question that nobody has asked before: why there are only few animated works with a Brechtian distancing effect (Verfremdungseffekt)?
