Spies (1928) Directed by Fritz Lang

Watching The Spy Who Loved Me and realizing I’ve really forgotten how placid the Roger Moore Bond movies are..

Probably THE ASCENT by Larisa Shepitko or MY 20TH CENTURY by Ildikó Enyedi.

does anyone know when filmmakers or audiences are going to see any of that money saved cutting costs on the switch from analog to digital, it's been over 10 years, just asking

the implementation of digital cinema projection needs to be understood as a neoliberal/silicon valley style "disruption" process in which owners lined their pockets while destroying a 100+ year old tradition, not unlike the taxi medallion

Oh, my god. Dziga Vertov's second film, The History of the Civil War, (thought lost since the 1920s) has been rediscovered and is screening for only the second time in its hundred year existence at @idfa. I've never been so jealous of people attending the festival.

Okay, you know Jean-Luc Godard’s death hit you hard when you’re writing nearly 1000 word Letterboxd reviews of PRAVDA days later. boxd.it/3eyMmd

Zvenygora, Oleksandr Dovzhenko, 1928.

Worrisome developments for the Dovzhenko Centre, which is also the national film archive of Ukraine with a collection of 10,000 movies. opendemocracy.net/en/odr/dovzhen…
