Wexler, Tanya -- HYSTERIA
Tanya Wexler -- HYSTERIA
 Click here to listen to the interview (25:04)
Tanya Wexler’s gift for narrative was never more in evidence than in the way she answered my first question. I wanted to know what it was like to see her film, HYSTERIA, with an audience for the first time. She responded with a raucous and vibrant prose poem on the exhilaration of filmmaking as a process, as well as what it was like to sit in the audience of the gala presentation at the film’s Toronto Film Festival premiere.
During the rest of our conversation on May 1, 2012, Wexler waxed loquacious on such topics as the use of sandbags to add conviciton to an actor's performance, why medicine couldn't see what was right in front of it when it came to women's sexuality in the Victorian Era, and how a pocket vibrator changed the attitudes of cast and crew.
