every time I see a thing out of the corner of my eye scuttle across the room, climb up my leg and latch it’s fangs onto my neck, I have to laugh, because..what *is* that thing??

A tribute to Tony Rayns from Apichatpong Weerasethakul:

Tony,

You were the first person who, at a cinema in Bangkok in 1999, welcomed a stranger with a VHS tape and actually watched it. You remained one of the first to see my films, offering advice and support over almost three decades. You’d say how hard it was to write about those films, yet you understood them more than me. My dear friend, you are the fuel that propels many of us forward. I thank you for our times in Tai Wu, and other Chinese meals across continents, over gossip about this messy film family of ours. I miss touching your belly as a silent way of asking ‘how are you, uncle?’ Nothing more. But the lights you have ignited remain in this quiet night.

Mayor-elect Mamdani: We will refuse to allow those who traffic in division and hate to pit us against one another. Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall, your struggle is ours too. And we will build a City Hall that stands steadfast alongside Jewish New Yorkers and does not waver in the fight against the scourge of antisemitism. Where the more than 1 million Muslims know that they belong, not just in the 5 boroughs of this city, but in the halls of power.

In his own words, @questlove remembers his friend, collaborator and brother, D’Angelo.

“D’Angelo, to me, was one of the last pure artists in Black music.”

I'm viscerally against gen AI filmmaking. I'm also fascinated by its allure for so many artists—and bothered that festivals like #Berlinale2025 would platform an entirely AI-generated feature, "What's Next?" So I sat down with its director to talk about it https://t.co/mwuSfCzD4N

We are genuinely heartbroken to lose another great actor. Kim Sae-ron was intergral to some of our favourite movies. This needs to stop.

Every time I watch It’s A Wonderful Life I never fail to cry, and then I think of this as Lynch himself swells up in tears. Rest in Peace.

[Adam Nayman @brofromanother]

I have a David Lynch story. I wrote about it this afternoon for @ringer. RIP to a director who we all share together today, even as each of us is holding on to a partof his work for ourselves, a piece which nobody else can see. https://t.co/CPWfrjeSwx

@jslaterwilliams Caught him in Obayashi’s The Rocking Horsemen recently looking almost unrecognisable! The guy’s really been doing the rounds with iconic filmmakers for decades now

We failed. “However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.” We have decided to extend our fundraiser until January 31st, 2025, and hope for a better outcome. Hope is all we have left now.

This is our last appeal to save Cinephilia & Beyond.

With only 36 hours left, we urgently need your support. Every donation, no matter the size, helps keep C&B alive.

Currently, we have raised 25% of the total amount. We are fully aware that we will not meet our goals, but in order for the site to function smoothly and continue working at Cinephilia & Beyond, we must reach at least 40–50% of our target.

We still believe in you and hope for a positive outcome.

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all our donors, our 367 heroes. As a token of our gratitude, we are giving you all a digital copy of the C&B 2025 FILM CALENDAR, regardless of the donation amount.

We wish you and yours a safe, healthy, and prosperous new year, and may this stunning calendar adorn your wall. Cheers!

Please repost this as well; it would be extremely helpful.

Good night, and good luck. We're still having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that this is the end of Cinephilia & Beyond.

Cinephilia & Beyond has suddenly and inexplicably dropped from 100,000 unique visits per day to barely 700, threatening our campaign and website. We are not the only ones; most independent publishers share a similar fate. Currently, Google and its algorithm are making an unprecedented massacre of independent publishers. We operate as a nonprofit organization, which makes the situation even more challenging for us.

For over a decade, Cinephilia & Beyond has been a haven for filmmakers and film lovers worldwide. Now, our future is at stake. With only a couple of days left, we urgently need your support. Every donation, no matter the size, helps keep C&B alive. Thank you!
