“Fictional figures have a presence in Cain’s perception as real as nonfictional friends — they are all here, in conversation with her daily habits.” @SBrown400 on Amina Cain’s A Horse At Night https://t.co/7d3N5fl6f7

Tickets for #LFF2022 went on general sale today!

My top tip is Ahsen Nadeem's transformative personal journey, CROWS ARE WHITE.

Said beautifully by @SBrown400 "a film about embracing our contradictions & the messy parts where our beliefs, values, truths and desires converge"

@DanGreen1986 😂 the weird thing is, I had been thinking, once I completed my Creative Writing program, that I might move to Scotland, where my gran is from. Looks like Netflix called it.

Hoping that film organisations and institutions will also be loud and clear in their solidarity with Palestine against the settler colonialism that continues to oppress, dispossess and destroy.

These films made me think a lot about consent & boundaries in nonfiction filmmaking and beyond...

[Sight and Sound magazine @SightSoundmag]

Speaking truth to cameras: from Guido Hendrickx’s A Man and a Camera to Alison Kuhn’s The Case You, three new docs at @cphdox cast cold light on the presumption of the cameraman’s licence to probe, writes @SBrown400 ☞ https://t.co/842uYZfcxt

[Sight and Sound magazine @SightSoundmag]

“The Annings’ reticence suggests the guardedness that comes with a hard life.” @SBrown400 on Kate Winslet’s fossil-collector and her mother, making like Grey Gardens’ two Edie Beales in @strawhousefilms’s lovely #Ammonite ☞ https://t.co/hhihib2eMF
