The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters.

[Lynne Sachs @LynneSachs1]

Forty years ago I took a video class at @DCTVny and learned how to break all the rules. What an honor it is to return June 7 - 11 with seven programs of work spanning from 1986 - 2024, programmed by the brilliant & dedicated @daraexplara .

[Screen Slate @ScreenSlate]

Israel trying to use the Super Bowl as cover to intensify its bombing of Rafah--where it directed more than a million people it violently displaced--is one of the most cynical, cowardly, vile, and unspeakably evil acts it has committed to date. Historic levels of supervillainy.

[Dara Messinger @daraexplara]

I adore this film!

BFCer Shuchi Talati takes the cake!!!

Tonight at @DCTVny! Don't miss it!

[Dara Messinger @daraexplara]

Yes, let's talk about anti-semitism, which is very real and on the rise, but not as a means of defending Israel's abhorrent actions, while Palestinians are fearing for their lives, their culture, their existence.

An incredible profile of an extraordinary production co-op reported by @a_ehunt—take it from me, a former resident co-oper who knows how difficult and how rewarding consensus can be!

Thank you, Elaine 💕

[Jewish Voice for Peace NYC @jvpliveNY]

Standing side by side with Israel means standing with the apartheid regime that led us here. That brutalized a people for decades.

If you are going to stand with a far-right racist extremist government, don't do it in the name of Jews or New Yorkers.
