Just screened Frankenstein (J. Searle Dawley, 1910) as part of the silent cinema section of my SF Film class. It's such an amazing film! The way it uses offscreen space and the subtlety of its narrative feel very unique for 1910. www.youtube.com/watch?v=67EN...

Parks cites writer and theorist McKenzie Wark’s 2023 book Raving, which examines this framework through a blend of theory and memoir, as one source of inspiration, particularly on her song “Jetta.” xtramagazine.com/culture/arlo...

I had a dream that I was choreographing a ballet for security cameras. The idea was that surveillance turns every public space into a stage. Not bad for a dream!

Good uses of cocaine: Partying, dancing, staying up all night talking with friends. Bad uses of cocaine: Geopolitics, military planning, diplomacy, and generally anything where lives are on the line. bsky.app/profile/shoe...

"A University of Washington professor said he was terminated as director of the university’s Middle East Center after he sent messages on the center’s listserv that criticized the U.S. and Israel’s military action against Iran and called Zionism “cancerous.”"

It is always the same thing: if a program is for the poor they ask why the rich should pay for it; if it is for everyone, they ask why the rich should benefit from it. The broken kettle works every time.

Katie Kirkland theorizes documentary as a practice of intimate exchange through a reading of Emily Jacir’s epistolary film 'Letter to a Friend' (2019)—a speculative, counterforesic investigation of her familial home in Bethlehem (Dar Jacir) as the site of a future crime FREE doi.org/10.1525/fmh....

Grateful for this post because I've never seen the film this way. Persuasively contradicts my flippant remarks about it in a 2018 blog post about its preservation!

I have been *so* eagerly awaiting the chance to share the word about this! CM puts together killer anthologies, and the "surveillance" theme is so topical, and I get to have a story in this one! Also, mine is... not dystopian or grim at all. It's actually pretty fun. And there are dolls.

This was unthinkable a year ago. I'd love to see a wider recognition that Palestinian activists achieved what so many said they could not. They've shifted the party on one of its most dogmatic issues with little-to-no access to the backrooms of power and despite facing intense backlash.

@thetransfemininereview.com Rachel Pollack's run on Doom Patrol [the first mainstream comic written by a trans woman] is finally going to be collected in an affordable, non-omnibus format in October this year.

Hell yes.

I can't read the stories, but these images are great.

I'm teaching my Science on Film course for the first time 8 years in 2027. I had organized it by scientific discipline, but I wasn't entirely happy with that. Here's what I had previously but I'm hoping to do a pretty major overhaul. Any suggestions would be welcome!

Trump's speech offered no new info but if you want to read the tea leaves I think listing the length of other wars in history feels significant. This thing isn't ending anytime soon.

Holy shit! I absolutely shared this and even corrected someone who said it was a hoax because this came from clearly legit sources.

Yesterday a student told me about an old film they saw as a child. The film? Interstellar.

That movie was released in 2014.

I mean, that film’s 12 years old! When I was 16, 12 years before was 1992, which definitely felt old to me! Time is so funny that way, I love it

This is the Haggadah we'll be reading tonight (+dandelion on the seder plate for trans lib). It's an anti-Zionist, multi-tendency Haggadah with ways to take action, in this time of war and ongoing genocide, to invite our friends and family to participate. www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/resource/pas...

Pleased to have an article in the new issue of @socres.org — “Hollywood’s GASLIGHT and the Gendered Dynamics of Gaslighting.” Fascinating to re-visit the film in today’s climate. 🔥 🔥🔥

BREAKING: Supreme court rules that conducting at-home surgery using a hacksaw and a mallet on an unwilling patient now legally protected as free speech.

Criterion's spotlight on Emile de Antonio just dropped and it's a must watch. His newsreel of sorts on the McCarthy hearings is such a strange film to watch in 2026--a moment of an ascendant right, but w/a functioning state apparatus. Also: Trump's mentor! www.criterionchannel.com/directed-by-...

*Whew.* I can finally feel safe from those students chanting things and sleeping in tents on the quad. Thank you Trump administration!

That was invigorating! The dancers had incredible observations on Nine Variations. Such as how they could feel moments when De Jong rolls her toes or how the camera captures the view of a dance partner. But they also seemed awed by what film did to the performance. One said, "I got lost in her body"

And yes he was campaigning with this
