I love when people post bad theaters because I will absolutely win every time

Remember: Obama doubled the bounty on Assata Shakur. That tells you everything you need to know about that bastard. Assata’s image has been and will continue to be taken up as a symbol of resistance to empire, whilst Obama will be remembered as the dog of US imperialism.

25 more filmmakers linked to Mubi have added their names to an open letter criticizing the distributor for its relationship with investor Sequoia Capital over its ties to the Israeli military.

The names include Israeli directors Ari Folman and Nadav Lapid, plus Alex Russell (whose Sundance hit “Lurker” was acquired by Mubi and releases this month). "Magic Farm" director Amalia Ulman also signed the letter after her movie's release by Mubi earlier this summer.

in december 2023 health and aid workers in gaza had to create a new acronym WCNSF (wounded child no surviving family). i thought nothing on earth could be more heartbreaking. that was 18 months ago and those children are being starved to death

Look at the tiny hand reaching for help, buried under rubble… The terror this child must feel, imagine how many more are buried with no one to help them.

Israel destroyed the equipment needed to clear the rubble in Gaza.

Not long ago, when the bakeries were still operating, I went to the bakery—or rather, to the greatest struggle I have ever faced in my life. I entered amid more than a thousand people reaching their hands towards the bakery window. After a struggle that lasted more than six hours, I finally got a bag of bread.

As I was leaving, an elderly man stopped me and asked for some loaves. When I looked at his face and he looked at mine, we recognized each other. He was one of my university professors who had taught me. He saw my face and knew me, but he didn't say anything. I deliberately acted as though I didn't recognize him to spare him any embarrassment. I gave him half of the bread, and he left.

I followed him without him noticing. I found him sitting on the sidewalk, eating and crying. He was crying, and I was crying, not knowing what to do. I left him to cry alone and returned to the tent.

This man before you is one of the best calligraphers in Gaza. He lives in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood, where one of his sons was martyred, and his leg was amputated. But genocide spares no one.

Fuck this vile world.

[Sophy Romvari @SophyRomvari]

What a lot of people don’t understand is that even when you “sell” a film, the distributor is just paying for the marketing of the film, so that they can make back their investment plus a huge cut. Next, investors are paid. To MAKE money on a film as a director is very very hard.
