superb book, original writing.

with varun-david dhawan doing faux govinda, the bhojpuri industry is free from that burden and can explore more interesting stuff. the conditions of its resurgence are here, just need source material for it to take off. manohar kahaniyan has been exhausted.

source material for tamil and telugu cinema for decades.

The illustrations on these Chandamama magazine covers are incredible!

[oxoy @voodooskin]

stunning film... made with such an ease and gentleness by a young director. between him and benjamin labatut, chilean artistic expression is what we need right now.

THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN (1971) didn't have a traditional screenplay. It had the first example of a CINESCRIPT: an amplified screenplay that combined text and printed visuals to communicate the intended visual language before production began.

‘The very act of following the gods from location to location as they enact their history on a sacred map gives the spectators a role…’ in an alternative reality someone would have funded @KamalSwaroop to make a film on Ramnagar’s Ramlila. 🤲🏿

Nabokov in 1965: Chess and writing are much the same thing — false moves, illusory paths, little labyrinths designed to lead the good reader astray.

La música en Ritwik Ghatak no es episódica: se asocia narrativamente a la imagen con movimientos de cámara (avance, plano frontal, escorando la figura o alejándose de ella) que subrayan un pentagrama del dolor y de la fractura social, en una Bengala desangrada.
Subarnarekha, 1965

Lal ji… I don’t even know who played him… but he feels painfully real.
So naive… so grounded… that the madness around him hits harder.
You don’t watch him… you feel protective of him.

Al acabar el cine mudo, la construcción de imágenes tenía plena madurez : en "Zemlya" (1930) la cadencia del plano es mágica, con un montaje sin cortes súbitos que Dovzhenko enplea para mostrar encuadres donde el elemento natural (el viento) prefigura la serenidad de un rostro.

these arguments feel dead now, we need new discourse around films. where hides today's bazin?

#Cannes jury president Park Chan-wook says "I don’t think politics and art should be divided."

" I think it’s a strange concept to think that they’re in conflict with each other. Just because a work of art has a political statement, it should not be considered an enemy of art. At the same time, just because a film is not making a political statement, that film should not be ignored. Even if we are to make a brilliant political statement, if it’s not expressed artfully enough, it would just be propaganda. So what I want to say is that art and politics are not concepts that are in conflict with each other, as long as they are artistically expressed, they are valuable."
