It was lovely to finally see Stephen Soucy’s Merchant Ivory documentary on the big screen at BFI Flare 2024 this afternoon, and the stars/crew/Merchant Ivory family were out in force. Guess who:

(1) looked startlingly younger in person that they do in the documentary (or they have a lookalike)

(2) was spotted popping in and out of the screening, and in and out of the hospitality room for beers

Also spotted: costume-design legend Jenny Beavan, Adrian Ross Magenty (Tibby Schlegel/deleted Dickie Barry) and Rupert sitting next to (looked like) A Room With A View’s cinematographer Tony Pierce-Roberts.

I just think older films are so fascinating! And the few things that my little sister and I agree on is watching French language films (mostly because she’s pretty fluent in French and I did film studies)

Not even the “important” ones either. I really enjoyed Сере́бряные коньки́ (Serebryanye konki)/The Silver Skates and part of that was just enjoying listening to the Russian actors.

Explore your films! Find things you hate and ones you love!

Dear Disney,

about this:

The fit check and hair slick thing are romantic tropes in film:

See?

Now, you are film makers. I take it you have all the experience and the know-how there is when it comes to TV and film. So, when you use these tropes, I have to assume that you want to tell us one of two things: Either you want to show us that there is a romatic story to be expected between two characters or you want us to believe that there is one when in fact there isn't. In this case (this case being Loki), that could be considered queerbaiting.

SUBLIME CINEMA #681 -KOKOMO CITY

D. Smith was homeless when she started shooting this documentary about the sex industry, and we can sense the fury and rawness of the conditions under which this film was made. Art can sometimes be a savior.

But not for everybody. Koko, one of the main subjects of this movie was murdered soon after filming - the victim of a hate crime. The film is dedicated to her.

Any of you fellow Dracula fans also filmmakers like me?

I'm gearing up to write & direct a Dracula movie - and I can't be the only one on set who is "Totally Normal" about JonMina.

If any of you Dracula fans are filmmakers - or know people who'd love to help - hopefully we can make a Dracula movie together that finally does the book & fandom justice!

AAAAAAAAAAA I can't believe we did it, the webseries entirely made by trans people, Transplant, released the pilot episode and had a full house for a premier showing in Minneapolis. It was amazing to see so many people come out to support trans filmmaking, the reaction we got was amazing.

We poured a lot of energy and tears and blood into this project, 24 amazing and talented trans individuals who have never done something like this really killed it. Please watch the episode and consider donating to help us make more trans art and narratives
