Three years ago, when studying in NYC, I wrote a profile on Sean Baker for a creative nonfiction writing class.
This year, @RedmondBacon gave me the chance to rework it so that my 7500-word primer on the filmmaker now finally sees the light of day.

Morgen läuft Alain Gomis' DAO in den deutschen Kinos an. Zwei Dinge waren mir nach dem Sehen klar: DAO ist schon jetzt einer meiner liebsten Filme des Jahres. Und: Es gilt, eine weitere Filmographie aufzuholen.
Hier meine Kritik: https://t.co/LzJzkNhzwf

Didn't get to write much this Cannes, but here's my most recent review on Sompot Chidgasornpongse's promising feature-length fiction debut 9 TEMPLES TO HEAVEN, which I found strongest in those lingering moments when it forgets about its central premise.

Great film!

Cherub, a movie I directed, is now available online at https://t.co/EKXwuwaPPU for free.

I know everyone says "we made this movie with a lot of love" but we really mean it... I hope you go watch and enjoy!

and here's my review on ONCE UPON A TIME IN HARLEM: https://t.co/2rV3u4XGwt

[Patrick Fey @PatrickPoetic]

This Sundance was much more fun than expected.
Quite a few of the 15 titles I saw were good, with William and David Greaves' ONCE UPON A TIME IN HARLEM clearly standing out.
Here's my list…

I have a soft spot for Ulrich Köhler, who made one of the best titled films ever (MONTAG KOMMEN DIE FENSTER). At #NYFF, I saw his latest, GAVAGAI, which took root in the embarrassment he felt amidst making and premiering SLEEPING SICKNESS. It's complicated

https://t.co/P62C6HWxcM Which films will remain with us? From Panahi to Reichardt, Lapid to Trier— we have a post-festival chat with Öykü Sofuoğlu @FerideMercury on standout films and lukewarm letdowns at this year’s 78th edition of the Cannes Film Festival. Until next time!

[Patrick Fey @PatrickPoetic]

Among my favorites @ this year’s Cannes was Pauline Loquès' debut feature NINO, which played in Semaine de la Critique. For @InRO, I wrote about this strangely hopeful slice-of-life dramedy that made me relisten to Foals after what must have been 15 years.

This was lots of fun! No wonder we went far overtime. Looking forward to next year already!

Another #CannesFilmFestival wrapped, and we were delighted to chat again with @tintedmagenta about the Asian selection, including new films by Kōji Fukada, Chie Hayakawa, Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke, Shih-Ching Tsou, and Bi Gan.

[Patrick Fey @PatrickPoetic]

Never before have I seen so many films before and at #Cannes, and I don't think I ever will again.
Anyway, here’s my list, including a couple of shorts and classics.

After Óliver Laxe's early stunner SIRAT, Bi Gan took it onto himself to resurrect a bafflingly uninspired and bleak. #Cannes2025 competition.

[Patrick Fey @PatrickPoetic]

Wenig überraschend liefert Hong bei der diesjährigen #Berlinale mit WHAT DOES THAT NATURE SAY TO YOU einen meiner Favoriten. In großer Offenheit kündigt sich hier eine Zukunftsaussicht nach der anderen an, nur um diese schließlich zum Bersten zu bringen.

Another year at the movies, another long chat with friends!

[Cannesversations @cannesversation]

With Sundance ongoing and the Berlinale ahead, we were thinking of the most anticyclical thing to put out and came up with our Top 10 episode of 2024, featuring, as last year, our critic friends @lawrencengarcia and @FerideMercury

Here are our no. 10-6.

[Yuval Abraham יובל אברהם @yuval_abraham]

Our film is nominated for an Oscar, the community it is about is now under attack by settlers.

Wohin führt das ewige Begehren?

@Volatilis_Aetas, @DunjaBialasl und Patrick Fey sprechen in der neuen Folge über Luca Guadagninos #Queer.

Berlin's official city portal just wrote our film No Other Land has "antisemitic tendencies". A film that won the Berlinale and was recently invited to a special screening in the German embassy in Israel. It pains me to see how, after murdering most of my family in the holocaust, you empty the word antisemitism of meaning to silence critics of Israel's occupation in the West Bank (the topic of our film) and legitimize violence against Palestinians. I feel unsafe and unwelcome in Berlin of 2024 as a left-wing Israeli and will take legal action.

[Patrick Fey @PatrickPoetic]

That was great fun!

[Patrick Fey @PatrickPoetic]

Hier noch ein kleiner Nachzügler aus Venedig. Ich habe für @moviebreak_de über Guadagninos Queer-Adaption geschrieben.
