One last NEMLA session...

26 March 2017: "[These films] demand that the dispossessed deserve a hearing." --a speaker on the last panel I attended at NEMLA, this one on horror films. This speaker looked at movies like Sinister, Amityville Horror, and The Haunting in Connecticut 2 and argued that they demonstrate guilt over landownership and possession, both of which are based on dispossession of someone else. Terrific paper. Terrific panel.
