Caro "Ministro della Cultura" Alessandro Giuli, non per farti sembrare un idiota incompetente ma… stamattina sono stati selezionati zero film italiani a Cannes, mentre gli spagnoli ne portano non uno, non due ma ben tre in concorso. Però certo, per te va tutto bene…

Edmund Goulding directing Wallace Beery and Joan Crawford in GRAND HOTEL (1932).

"Silver Comes Through" is a 1927 Hollywood film that made its way to Japan & then copied to paper in the 1930s. The original 35mm film is lost thus making the paper copy some of the film's only surviving footage. Star Fred Thomson is largely forgotten now because so few of his films were preserved.

Our scanning system is super gentle on the films. But some films need repairs before scanning. _Monkey & Tanuki_ was so brittle that it fell apart at the slightest touch. Owner Yo Sato-sensei generously let us bring it to Bucknell for repairs. Enjoy the time lapse (4-hour surgery!) & final result!

Hello from the Pordenone Silent Film Festival! We loved seeing Japanese paper films projected onto the Teatro Verdi theatre to promote our screening. Props to Phoebe for b-roll of Yoko, Hikaru, & Eric capturing the moment! A big THANK YOU to the Yanai Initiative for supporting our screening here.

Some of our favorite photos from our performance at The Pordenone Silent Film Festival. The photos were shot by the amazing Valerio Greco (@silentvalerio on Instagram). Duo Yumeno played from the orchestra pit. #Japan #film #anime #paper

This extraordinary conversation with the Koszarski couple in 'Photo-Play' revolved around their research on Fort Lee, William S. Hart, and much more. The Florence (FS) @florencisalesas.bsky.social – Lawrence (LB) @laurabondia.bsky.social team strikes again!. photo-play.net/2026/01/14/f...

TG1: dov’è il servizio sull’obbligo UE di riconoscere i matrimoni tra cittadini dello stesso sesso? La Corte UE lo impone, ma il TG1 tace.

“Sometimes I wonder if we truly deserve this planet. We take so much from it, yet give so little back. Maybe the Earth isn’t punishing us. Maybe it’s just reminding us of everything we forgot to respect.” #Earth #Humanity #Truth #WakeUp #RespectNature #ThinkDeep #RealityCheck #UnfilteredThoughts

Ovviamente il TG1, per non fare una figura di merda parla di un pareggio contando tutte le elezioni regionali dell’anno invece di concentrarsi sulle tre più recenti. E per gonfiare la “maggioranza” menzionano anche la Valle d’Aosta, dove ha vinto un partito indipendentista. Patetica solfa meloniana.

I'm a little proud of this photo

We finally got to see Dorothy Mackaill's gaze in motion, and it certainly didn't disappoint. Nor has your tenth chronicle 😘

This chronicle of Pordenone is special ❤️ — I talk about the lost film 'The Man Who Came Back' and the mystery of Dorothy Mackaill. One hundred years later, we were able to see her and the film for the very first time. Photos by Valerio Greco and from the Festival❤️
