Both my trains to Sheffield today have been central line at rush hour full. Pretty sure being ass to ass with a bunch of strangers isn’t on PHE’s corona virus guidance.

Lovely, sensitive review of Showroom Cinema’s film of the month for March from @MillicentOnFilm, and one of my top films from last year’s Berlinale. Don’t sleep on this one 👇🏻

I cant wait to visit Sheffield on 12th March for a special Q&A screening of #calmwithhorses at the wonderful Showroom Cinema. Please come along and say hello! showroomworkstation.org.uk/calmwithhorses… Altitude Film4Insider @Film4 @DMCFilmOfficial Element Pictures

Third time is the charm, #Sheffield ☄️ If you missed #ColorOutofSpace at @sheffhorrorfest or the advance preview ⤵️

.Independent Cinema Office Heather McIntosh and isabel_Moir delivering hot takes and super useful programming insights from #berlinale2020. On a deeply self involved level, also excited to see their top picks aligning v. closely with mine. I’d maybe throw in BLOODY NOSE, EMPTY POCKETS too!

PSA:

If you teach film at film school/uni/college, virus might be forcing you quickly to devise extra online learning modules. As small help with this extra workload, in next weeks I hope to put online an open-source 2-3 hr visual survey of film style+content. 1/2

Absolute garbage fire of a day, and this is of course utterly gutting, but so heartened to see the solidarity and community spirit from industry colleagues and audiences today. Huge thanks to our amazing comms team too, who worked relentlessly all day. We’ll be back ✊🏻

Remember when the most dramatic thing the indie exhibition sector had to worry about was not being able to play ROMA?

What Mehmet Serdar Çoban said 👇🏻 Showroom Cinema’s Film of the Month, SYSTEM CRASHER, available to watch on Curzon Home Cinema from 27th March. It genuinely is an absolute banger 💥

Hi London North Eastern Railway, my outward train from Leeds to Edinburgh this week was cancelled because of damage from Storm Arwen and I’ve now got a redundant return ticket for today that trainline won’t let me refund or exchange. Can you help?

We’re looking for a new member of the Film, Exhibition and Curation team at Edinburgh. Come work with me! (And other excellent people). It’s a dream I promise. Best career move I ever made. elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…
