Went a little long on this Silent Friend interview but Ildikó Enyedi had so much to say thefilmstage.com/silent-frien...

"We have quick heartbeats and take around 50 breaths per minute. Trees have one inhale and one exhale per day. One of the aims of this film, maybe the main one, is to get a glimpse into a tree’s perspective, into its own world." Silent Friend director Ildikó Enyedi talks with Daniel Eagan:

Happy May Day. They can’t kill us all.

Many summers in the Sognefjord. 🌊 Cold dips, icy gasps. 🎬 Which made a cinema trip to "Kraken" inevitable. If a monster movie is set in the fjord, it belongs on the big screen. 🍿🔊🐙 Big toe test this summer! 🦶😅 #Kraken #Sognefjord #CinemaExperience #MonsterMovie

MN Doctor: I learned that Renee Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent. Yet the offer to administer aid from a physician on the scene was denied. I can't say how much that stirs the blood of everyone here as we try to fulfill our oath to care for the people of Minnesota

A first look—restored. We’re counting down to the world premiere of HULA (1927), newly restored from a 35mm nitrate print and looking better than it has in 99 years.

"Everything is about feeling connected, not removed from the characters." The cinematographer of Sentimental Value discusses his unique approach with @danieleagan.bsky.social:

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

South Korea lost a true cinematic legend today, with news breaking that veteran leading man Ahn Sung-ki has passed away, aged 74.

Democrats would be crazy not to make this comment super-famous tomorrow when the Senate debates health care. Republicans don’t want you to be cared for as a patient when you’re sick. They think of you as a “consumer”—and tough luck if you don’t have the money for the care you need.

"We liked the feeling of watching someone’s memories, almost like you found a box full of pictures of someone’s life and you’re trying to piece that life together." #TrainDreams cinematographer Adolpho Veloso talks with @danieleagan.bsky.social:

"[TV] is poor man’s storytelling, easy and cheap. I get depressed when I watch it." Stellan Skarsgård talks with @danieleagan.bsky.social about #SentimentalValue, suffering, and why cinema will always be superior to television:
