There will be many opportunities to reflect on the 40th anniversary of #Chernobyl this month but I can highly recommend this one: a retreat at the Othona Community in Essex with artist Angenita Teekens & novelist Philippa Holloway @thejackdawspen #nuclear

I've started a film club! I'm loving sharing a slow cinematic journey across our atomic age with members of The Film Thread - and this month we're watching razor-sharp 90s US doc The Plutonium Circus. Join us? Link in the header #nuclear #film🎬🪡⚛️

This month marks a whole decade of work by of an organisation whose support & mentorship has been *invaluable* to parents/carers working in film & TV, me included. I hope one day they won't be needed anymore but till then, I'm wishing @RaisingFilms a very happy 10th birthday!🎂🍾

@BrightonHoveCC has the contract with @BetterPoints finished now? I notice that I’m not receiving points for any activities now and there are no challenges listed…

[Vicki Lesley @TennerFilms]

@BetterPoints hi has the contract you had in Brighton & Hove finished now? I notice that I’m not receiving points for any activities now and there are no challenges listed…

[Vicki Lesley @TennerFilms]

@BetterPoints do you know if the Move for Change challenge will be returning in Brighton?

Reflecting on some of March's best moments in my latest meandering diary update. Plus Joan Crawford dancing the Charleston - who could resist 😁💃

If anyone here’s still seeing my messages (waves hopefully!) I’d love to invite you to this FREE online event I’m hosting discussing #nuclear apocalypse in 1980s #film & TV in Britain & America with @DPU_Hum_Ctr @min_kyookim https://t.co/oOIjKMXnu2

I was writing a post. But instead I went for a walk... https://t.co/77nsZtk582

@CityFibre I registered years ago. No updates have ever been sent despite someone coming to my door in summer 2023 telling us it would be live in 3-4 weeks. Astonishingly poor customer communication. Keeping people in the loop would go a long way in maintaining goodwill.

@CityFibre Hello again. We're now coming up to 2 years since you dug our road up to install the new network (Feb 23). Is it ever going to go live??!

[Vicki Lesley @TennerFilms]

@CityFibre it’s over a year since you did the installation on my street in Brighton. One of your reps came round last summer saying there was a just week or two of testing to do.Months later we’ve heard nothing. When will we actually be able to start using CityFibre broadband??🙏🏻

Psychogeography & mental time travel in this week's blog as a film screening brings back formative memories of my days at the glorious @MECCambridge https://t.co/rACl6iut4e #Cambridge #womeninfilm

[Vicki Lesley @TennerFilms]

Just seen that #Threads is screening at the wonderful @TheGardenCinema in Covent Garden tomorrow night. Amazing opportunity to see it on the big screen (if you can face it!) https://t.co/48BXiMuHwf

[Vicki Lesley @TennerFilms]

A couple of weeks on from reliving the trauma of #Threads40 on its anniversary BBC screening, I've published my deep dive piece revisiting the film - and its vital & urgent ongoing relevance @ianmac67_SE @CNDuk @ByYrSide https://t.co/JAn8SdxZtQ

[Vicki Lesley @TennerFilms]

@ianmac67_SE @CNDuk @ByYrSide That's super interesting and definitely not a positive development. But I can totally see it being the case 😳 My Threads piece is finished now - will post it up here in a sec (probably no-one will see it thanks to the X algorithm but you're in it so definitely want you to!)

[Vicki Lesley @TennerFilms]

I wrote a bit about #Threads after re-watching last week (https://t.co/A3CjFYJFCq) but am planning sth more detailed in the next week or so & would love to include some other perspectives/thoughts/memories alongside mine if anyone's up for that? @CNDuk @ianmac67_SE @ByYrSide

@ZefTillDeath @popbitch Made my weekend reading this, thankyou!
