For @ArtReview_ I wrote about cinema in 2024, the year the film world turned a blind eye to genocide https://t.co/rf3x1Wf2ol

Only just realised that the experimental filmmaker who made My Name Is Oona is called GUNVOR Nelson, not GUVNOR Nelson. I've been pronouncing her name like a Cockney in my head this entire time...

@somebobcat8327 His films certainly are!

Question for cinephiles and/or Francophiles: are you supposed to say "Rivettean" or "Rivettian"?

[Ian Wang @iantwang]

@IamMilk69 Sooo true

@leorobsonwriter This is authoritative enough for me, thank you Leo!

@ann_manov This is my favourite thank you Ann 🫡

Going to two friends' weddings on May 2nd and May 3rd this spring and I just realised something...

@testpatterns_ @SightSoundmag Thank you!!

[Ian Wang @iantwang]

Back in @SightSoundmag with a review of the new film based on Kazuo Ishiguro's A Pale View of the Hills, an adaptation which poses interesting questions but can only give boring answers

The Gaza playbook, applied to a major Arab capital city that was once called the Paris of the Middle East.

War crime upon war crime.

It remains the case that Another Gaze is the most serious, rigorous and politically-engaged film publication in this country—what a joy to see it return! Give this new issue a read and give them some donations!!

'While cinephilia seems to be back with new enthusiasm, in line with a certain ‘vibe shift’, it often resembles an old version, one that we set out to remedy ten years ago – masculine French cinephilia, encore'
We are back with 12 new pieces of writing.

...and for the @AnotherGaze relaunch, i wrote ~3k words about Niki de Saint Phalle's life-long mission to help children protect themselves from adults, and her wonderful film in which the quixotic fantasies of little girls become more than dream >> https://t.co/EFxUccsu4a

@wrinkledlinen Congrats Winnie!!!! Working at an architecture firm extremely chic arguably chicer than film criticism, bravo

I feel like I've made enough critiques of Asian diaspora art to have earned the right to say: a lot of you talking about "AsAm woman MFA diaspora lit" are very weird!!! Please say something normal!!!

[Ian Wang @iantwang]

Nothing will boost your confidence like being told "you have beautiful hair" by a drunk woman in a Dalston kebab shop at 4am (this really happened to me a couple weeks back!!)

[Ian Wang @iantwang]

From William Wyler’s Wuthering Heights (1939) - low hanging fruit, sorry, but a scene like this has a swooning, operatic grandeur that the cheap, glossy sheen of Emerald Fennell’s camera simply cannot match

[Ian Wang @iantwang]

One of my favourite moments in a Frederick Wiseman film, when someone at the help desk for the New York Public Library has to explain to a caller that a unicorn is not a real animal—no other filmmaker could capture these strange, deeply human moments of curiosity like he could

@ellie_eberlee So sorry to hear this news, Ellie. What a loss for the magazine, I’m so sorry for the way you and other editors have been treated. Solidarity and best of luck for the next steps, I know you’ll be doing great work wherever you go
