Abstract
This article draws a connection between the genre instability of Janicza Bravo’s first two short films and her subject position as a Black woman directing films about vulnerable white masculinity. In fluctuating between the tonal and genre markers of comedy and horror, Eat (2011) and Gregory Go Boom (2013) reveal the contradictions between mainstream representations that uplift flawed white male characters and how they are perceived by those they oppress.
本文将Janicza Bravo前两部短片的类型不稳定与她作为一名黑人女性导演的关于弱势白人男子气概的电影的主题地位联系起来。Eat（2011）和Gregory Go Boom（2013）在喜剧和恐怖的色调和类型标志之间摇摆不定，揭示了提升有缺陷的白人男性角色的主流表现与他们所压迫的人如何看待他们之间的矛盾。
期刊介绍：
The main purposes of SFS are: To stimulate ongoing research on individual short films as a basis for a better understanding of the art form To provide a flow of cutting-edge teaching materials that can be used in courses in which short films are either studied or produced, at film schools or universities To offer fresh inspiration to filmmakers and other professionals working with short films in connection with festivals, national film institutes, regional film centres, etc. While the principal focus is on the short fiction film, other classic forms – such as the short documentary, the short experimental film and the short animation film – are also covered from time to time. In each issue, two productions are singled out for comprehensive presentation and close study. For each film, the reader will find production data, an interview with the director, a shot-by-shot breakdown of the film with a still illustrating every shot, a number of peer-reviewed articles that illuminate the film from a variety of perspectives and a link enabling subscribers to view the film.
