The Alphabet of Feeling Bad

The film is inspired by the work of Lauren Berlant, Sara Ahmed, Heather Love and Ann Cvetkovich

The Alphabet of Feeling Bad shows an experimental interview with the theorist and activist Ann Cvetkovich. Cvetkovich’s performance, which is based on conversations with the filmmaker, defines terms from A to Z such as ’depression,’ but also everyday negative feelings like the impression of being stuck at an impasse, of feeling numb or not able to work, of being overwhelmed by demands, of not being adequate and not getting on, and provides them with a different meaning.
