Southern Circuit Film Series
Learning to Swallow
7:30 p.m.
Ford Academic Complex
Room 215
Patsy Desmond, an artistic whirlwind chronicling her life through self-portraits, stormed through the early 90s Chicago art and music scene. Full of drama, outrageous style, and charisma, no one guessed that behind it all she was hurtling toward her ruin. In an uncontrolled, manic-depressive episode, Desmond attempted suicide by drinking drain cleaner. Although she survived, the incident destroyed her digestive system. Danielle Beverly's documentary Learning to Swallow follows Desmond over four years of recovery: through reconstructive surgeries, oxy-contin and alcohol addictions, and the ultimate struggle to keep hope. Learning to Swallow contains footage of Desmond's recovery, old photos, and animation created from her artwork. Director Danielle Beverly's 96 hours of film culminates with the opening of Patty Desmond's art exhibition Coming Clean. Web site: http://www.learningtoswallow.com
