The Williams College Art Department and the Williams College Museum of Art

Looking is Better than Feeling You was created by New York-based independent
film and video curator Astria Suparak for the opening nights of Ladyfest in
San Francisco and Washington D.C. The San Francisco Bay Guardian says, "This
irreverent, rebellious, and self-parodying film program takes on punk
rockers, politicians, parents, and posers who fake it like they mean it."

Jaqueline Goss, Dara Greenwald, Colleen Hennessey, Miranda July, Eliete
Mejorado, Kristin J. Mohr & Kelly Hayes, Shannon Plumb, Jenny Stark, Kirsten
Stoltmann and Karen Yasinsky. Ms. Suparak will introduce the hour-long
program, and she will be available to answer questions following the
screening.
Twenty-four year-old Astria Suparak creates site-specific film and video
shows for art spaces, alternative theaters, and film festivals. She is
currently traveling across the Americas on her sixth tour in two years.
