Thrilled that Milestone Film's new restoration of QUEEN KELLY is premiering at La Biennale di Venezia, complete with a score from IU alum Eli Denson, commissioned as part of IU Cinema's Jon Vickers Scoring Award program. So proud that IU Cinema is able to contribute to cinema history in this way.

We’re dark until mid-August but be sure to follow us here and on instagram (@iucinema) for sneak peeks of our upcoming schedule, special announcements, summer watchlists and more!

Stop by @vulturevideo.bsky.social for all your Lynch needs, including his filmography, movies inspiring to - and inspired by - Lynch, and say hi to Eraserhead baby

I might actually cry. An American genius, who took us by the hand and led us into the grotesque, the terrifying, and the heartbreakingly pure.

Lots of good stuff in here - tickets for all shows go on sale tomorrow!

If you think returning to the classroom to teach after a multi-semester break is a good time to invest in a new class prep IT IS NOT. I need a time machine to tell myself this several months ago.

I joined Edinburgh UP’s ReFocus: The American Directors Series as a series co-editor. AcaFilm people, if you ideas for volumes - especially on women, queer, BIPOC directors- reach out! Looking forward to getting some new volumes out into the world. edinburghuniversitypress.com/series-refoc...

Babyratu double feature did not disappoint

Wrote about one of my favorite holiday movies...

If you missed our screening of the stone cold classic PADDINGTON 2 yesterday, you missed: 1. Three loud rounds of applause 2. An entire theater of people joyfully (and loudly, lol) crying when Aunt Lucy shows up 3. A perfect day of Cinema 🐻❤️🎥

Bloomington, come to BAMF! Great artists, free snacks, all ages, amazing zines and more.

@moviesky.bsky.social and #filmsky: excellent free, online event this Tuesday about the work of Roberta Findlay WITH Roberta Findlay

One of Hollywood’s biggest missed opportunities was not franchising Denzel as Easy Rawlings #filmsky📽️ @moviesky.bsky.social

@pt.letterboxd.social last four watched #filmsky📽️

This Scala Cinema book from @severinfilms.bsky.social is incredible - and find the accompanying doc at @vulturevideo.bsky.social!

For more than a decade, there has been a systematic effort to destroy the NLRB by starving it of staff and resources. Sensing blood in the water, those who wish to do wrong with impunity are now sounding the death knell and petitioning the courts to declare the Agency unconstitutional. 5-alarm fire.

Visiting home this week? - Samsumg calls it Auto Motion Plus - LG calls it Motionflow - Roku calls it Action Smoothing - Google TV calls it Motion Enhancement - Vizio calls it Smooth Motion Effect

This is not a drill! Conclave has hit the internet! Rewatch immediately.

Watching Murder She Wrote, nostalgic for a time when they let people with wrinkles be on network television.

The great and good @vulturevideo.bsky.social has made it to the Good Place. Give then a follow and support indie video stores. Wasn’t there an indie video store starter pack floating around at some point?

Excited to get back to @scmstudies.bsky.social with an excellent panel on Paratexts in the Margins of Paratextual Discourse - see you soon Chicago #scms2025

Today’s work day screening: a true masterpiece

Great conversation with Carl Bernstein after tonight’s screening of All the President’s Men (working late has perks!)

PSA: if you aren’t watching Doctor Odyssey you should be

Me after seeing the one millionth piece of WICKED sponcon: simply giving up

Airport delays giving me time to finally crack this open

Deserves to be shared on Bluesky too. The funniest video of all time.

I don’t know anything about this conf beyond the CFP, but having just put on my own speciality conference (cinema.indiana.edu/academics/bl...) I can tell you the BEST people are at speciality conferences. www.thehollywoodconference.com/cfp

We need the horror genre. Horror pulls out the monsters in our minds and haunts us in our waking hours; is the perfect genre for the shadow work we'll be doing for the next few years.
