Many thanks to @pamhutch.bsky.social for an illuminating contextual guide to The Vamp at Fabrica Brighton this evening. As usual, entertaining and scholarly in an uneffacing way.

Four shining moments for me at @filmnoiruk.bsky.social Festival today. Gun Crazy obvs, but also the measured tension and sly red herrings of Plunder Road, the claustrophobic Beware My Lovely and the Neil-Branded Forgotten Faces with its lucid silent grammar. A memorable weekend, thank you.

I am not normally an impatient being, but I simply can’t wait for this

Just received my BFI Sep-Oct programme but haven’t got to read it yet as it smells too good to open. Might take up glue-sniffing at my advanced age.

After watching the fabulous Henry Fonda for President at #cineredis25 today I have impulse-bought the Bea Arthur series Maude on eBay. It will be queued behind Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and The Mary Tyler Moore box sets, also recently purchased.

@cineredis.bsky.social @markcosgrove.bsky.social I am not good at talking to people at events, but I wanted to say here that #cineredis25 is exceeding all my expectations. Just came out of Killer of Sheep an emotional wreck - thank you so much!

Tremendous evening at the BFI with 2 absorbing films selected by @rememberthispod.bsky.social Audience levels disappointing. The Liberation of LB Jones - visceral, stark and shockingly contemporary. The Only Game in Town evinced how meticulous Stevens was even in his decline. Thank you, Karina.

#SaveThePCC Some of you may have read about the situation regarding our new landlord wishing to add a new redevelopment break clause, with only 6 months notice to our lease. For now, we're simply asking you all to share & sign the petition below; you.38degrees.org.uk/p/princechar...
