the 8k digitisations for the Eye's Mutoscope & Bioscope restoration project THE BRILLIANT BIOGRAPH are breathtaking. this is from the 1898 actuality RECREATION IN SCHEVENINGEN.

2/2 And I enjoyed the “real life” context of bisexuality that @jacobengelberg.bsky.social brings throughout his writing that brings a fresh (for me) lens to familiar recent history. So proud of what you have achieved here, Jacob!

Like so many others, I was dismayed by the recent news that the profit-driven Taylor & Francis acquired multiple book series (including our open-access "The Key Debates") as part of a transaction with Amsterdam University Press. I proudly signed this collective resignation letter.

The time has come to reinvent academic publishing. Over the last years conglomerates have bought up once respectable publishers and turned them into rent extraction machines, generating obscene profits from tax-payer funded research and unremunerated academic labor./ mediastudies.hypotheses.org/6850

28 international editors have announced their resignation from commercial publisher Taylor & Francis, which recently acquired their book series from Amsterdam University Press (AUP). The editors made this known today in a signed letter to the publisher. www.folia.nl/en/actueel/1...

28 editors have resigned from Amsterdam University Press following its unprecedented takeover by Taylor & Francis and firing of commissioning editors. read the letter here: mediastudies.hypotheses.org/6850

This book looks good!

I am *so* looking forward to this book!!! What a gorgeous cover! 🤩 Congratulations @jacobengelberg.bsky.social ✨ 💙📚 #Booksky

👇excited to now be able to share my partner @jacobengelberg.bsky.social forthcoming book (January 2026) with @dukepress.bsky.social A much needed intervention that really does change how we think, theorise, and conceptualise cinema and bisexuality!

Oh that looks good as fuck

delighted that i can now share the cover of my forthcoming monograph 𝘊𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘹𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯. released 6 Jan 2026 with @dukepress.bsky.social in the Camera Obscura series.

IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR AUTHORS AND SERIES EDITORS ON THE FILM/MEDIA LIST: Do not respond to the letter or accept the new contracts proposed by Taylor & Francis at htis point (unles, of course, you want to). A response is being coordinated. Additional conversations scheduled for the NECS conference.

SUPERB! The Film Atlas is a collaboration between the International Federation of Film Archives and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

a nice thing about dutch academia is a copyright amendment that allows for the open publication of short scholarly works 6 months after their initial publication. this means that my chapter on Call Me by Your Name is now freely accessible! you can find it in the URL on my profile.

In memory of her passing my favourite Linda Williams media moment is just at the end of an old television documentary series on the history of pornography. She did have a soft spot for 'Boys in the Sand' (1972). @screeningsex.bsky.social @scmstudies.bsky.social @scmsadultfilm.bsky.social

RIP Linda Williams. we've lost an intellectual giant whose debts to film studies & pornography studies can never be repaid. i'm grateful that she got her flowers before she passed, with a symposium & special issue honouring her work in recent years. long may her writing be taught in our classrooms.

119 film and media scholars from 61 institutions across 16 countries have written to Travis Bell (The Movie Database) and Matthew Buchanan (Letterboxd) to make the case to reinstate early moving image works in their catalogues. Thank you to everyone who signed.
