Would a gender swapped Sherlock Holmes be Shelock Holmes or Herlock Holmes?

I wish that there was a program like "60 Minutes" that could investigate this travesty of media ethics.

Excellent point! Also, like in the '80s, New York was seen as a place of danger and decline so the concept made sense. What is the threat of New York now? High rent? Mamdani?

@tanyagoldman.bsky.social You will be interested in the film room scene of TOMORROW'S CAREERS: THE LIBRARIAN that we recently scanned. 13:11 in bmac.libs.uga.edu/index.php/De...

The real solution to helping historians do research is actually pretty simple: give archives more money. Money for conservation, preservation, storage (physical an digital), climate controlled facilities, and staff (paid at a living wage). You don't need LLMs, you need money.

Another anti-academic action by my PhD alma mater. Unacceptable collusion from what was once a respectable uni.

This series on projectionists is wonderful.

It's a scientific fact.

Libraries counter doom spiraling. Support your local memory institution.

And there's a photo booth scene at the end!

A must watch if you haven't seen it. And why not rewatch it if you have.

I also think Nolan and PT Anderson should find projectionist schools/internships if they’re gonna keep releasing all these 70mm prints and not have enough experienced projectionists to run them which is legit a problem but that’s a whole other convo 😏

The Brown Media Archive does it again. They're a superstarchive.

The view from the podium.

The great @andy-uhrich.bsky.social (with his colleague Jamie Marie Wagner in absent spirit) presents an unfinished anti-nuclear 1979 documentary held at University of Colorado Boulder #orphans2026 @orphanfilm.bsky.social

The only thing I didn't like about moving to St. Louis is that no one calls it "Miss-ur-uh."

Another #Orphans2026 preview just dropped. Andrea Callard & Ana Marie on video works from New York City artists’ group Collaborative Projects Inc. (COLAB) + Monday/Wednesday/Friday Video Club (MFW). Works preserved by XFR Collective. 📼 @orphanfilm.bsky.social wp.nyu.edu/orphanfilm/2...

It was a pleasure speaking with @allyfield.bsky.social about her incisive new book LABOR OF LOVE: BLACK PERFORMANCE AND THE KISS THAT CHANGED FILM—a work I find to be equally revealing and thrilling. Our conversation via LA Review of Books.

If you're at #SCMS26 I'm speaking at 11am today about collectible film strips like this for "Sinners" and the economics of first run analog film exhibition in 2026.

one more time, before I try to let this issue go for the week: please read and share this list of concerns CU faculty, students, and staff have about the deal recently signed with Open AI. it also includes ways to organize and get involved---> docs.google.com/document/d/1...

If you're in Springfeild, MO you still have time to make it to this fantastic screening of amateur cinema.

Courtney! Willeman! Perhaps two of the top ten film archivists around though it's a close competition.

This is why we do this work. Support your local archivist.

📣 We hear the @orphanfilm.bsky.social 2026 schedule just dropped! April 8-11 in Columbus, Ohio. 📣 wp.nyu.edu/orphanfilm/2...

Here's a 1989 interview with Rev. Jackson from Eyes on the Prize II. He discusses Harold Washington, the 1972 National Black Political Convention, and much more. Thank you, Rev. Jackson. Preserved by the Film &Media Archive at the @washulibraries.bsky.social. repository.wustl.edu/concern/vide...

This is why I love Library and Information Science.

We can add this new show to Star Trek's long history with media preservation. Here's an overview on the topic by Ashley Blewer: bits.ashleyblewer.com/startrek/

Great article that doubles as a powerful testament to film preservation. Kudos to Katie Trainor, Greg Pierce, and the crew at Colorlab.

Preserved by the very awesome Film & Media Archive in the very awesome @washulibraries.bsky.social.

You can watch the whole The Urban Crisis and the New Militants series on HBOMax.

First, two of the most important film preservation groups - the American Genre Film Archive and the Texas Archive of the Moving Image @texasarchive.bsky.social share an office and a mission of preserving movie history from the grind house to the home movie. www.austinchronicle.com/arts/film-pr...

Celebrate Dr. King Day by watching an interview from "Eyes on the Prize." WashU's Film and Media Archive has digitized them all and is sharing them online. Link to first series interviews: repository.wustl.edu/admin_sets/e.... Second series: repository.wustl.edu/spotlight/ey...

Saturday, January 10th, 7:30pm CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF JON MIRSALIS PLAYING SILENT FILMS! Jon Mirsalis, Kurzweil Keyboard Accompaniment PETER PAN (1924) Preceded by an onstage interview with Jon Mirsalis. We have a trailer! www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMqt...

If I lived in New York, this would be high on my to-do list.

Yes, Harry, she does. RIP, Rob Reiner, you and Nora Ephron clearly understood the importance of caring for your personal media collections. Happy New Year.

We gotta learn how to fight

To help right this wrong, you can support the @brownmediaarchives.bsky.social restoration of the '80s alternative music doc "Athens, GA: Inside Out" that features an amazing live performance by the Flat Duo Jets: give.uga.edu/funders/insi.... Great band, great film, great archive.

If I was applying to PhD programs, studying with Lori Emerson and Josh Shepperd and the rest of the Media Studies Department at CU Boulder would be pretty darn ideal.

also I collected Mira Nair’s papers, including her handwritten notebooks for all films, at the Schlesinger Library at Harvard, FREE and open to the public. Much good work to be done. Finding aid here: hollisarchives.lib.harvard.edu/repositories...

I just donated to help preserve this film that put me on the path to being an indie music fan and media archivist. You should too. Here's the link: give.uga.edu/funders/insi....

If Julia Roberts is an assistant professor in this move and I am an asst professor how come her apt is so much nicer'n mine?

I also DIY digitized about five mini DV tapes from late ‘80s to mid ‘90s from my childhood and burst into tears at the moment I heard the voices of my deceased grandparents. TL;DR — save your home movies, especially when they are on videotape. Two of the other mini DV tapes had already degraded.

I bought it. You should too. Dorothy's work is an inspiration.

Ah, a journalism program that doesn't want its students to publish news. I am very disappointed in my alma mater. And more than a bit heartbroken.

Lovely piece on the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research! news.wisc.edu/a-global-hub...

The power of synchronicity when doing research. I randomly purchased the April 1952 "Popular Photography" from eBay for a project where I'm tracking the number of companies that were selling commercial films to the home market. This issue is not digitized as far as I can tell.

The @mediaburn.bsky.social Archive is an extraordinary primary source resource, filled with "Lost Objects" from video history that are fascinating, funny, and thought-provoking. If you've never kicked around it, go check it out. The latest in the Lint Trap. open.substack.com/pub/linttrap...

People dancing in Grant Park at the sixth annual Taste of Chicago in July 1985 🕺🏽 From a reel of Super 8 film in the Bill Stamets Collection.

Will McKinley's thread of public media job losses is sobering & depressing reading, but it's absolutely crucial to track the cultural and educational destruction that the current administration is purposely creating.
