Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

I've taught European history for 30 years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we have front-row seats.

I look forward to David’s montage every year. With the state of things today it’s particularly exhilarating to see how vibrant rebellious and alive the year in cinema has been. ❤️

Les cuento que recién salió a la venta la edición de @Criterion de ÉL, de Luis Buñuel. Es mi película mexicana favorita de todos los tiempos y tuve el honor de escribir el ensayo incluido en la edición. (Sería un regalazo navideño.) https://t.co/eoffMKB5E4

Every film is political. Most political of all are those that pretend not to be: 'entertainment' movies. They are the most political films there are because they dismiss the possibility of change.

EL- to me one of the top 3 Bunuel films. Its his Hitchcock film in many ways- And EYES WIDE SHUT, one of the most misunderstood Kubricks.

Denis Villeneuve has made a statement about directing the next James Bond film:

“Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since ‘Dr. No’ with Sean Connery. I’m a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he’s sacred territory. I intend to honor the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come.

This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honor”
