After 19 months I returned to in-person screenings this week & how fitting that it was at #NYFF59 where 50 years ago on 10/2/71 I first entered your deliriously rewarding world with Zanussi’s FAMILY LIFE & @blogdanovich’s THE LAST PICTURE SHOW. Thanks @FilmLinc for all you do. ❤️

The annual Oscars trivia was different this year, but thru the magic of Google Hangouts and Zoom, we all found a way to gracefully gather together and lose. HOWEVER, we were awarded Best Team Name (All About Eve the Cow) and would be remiss if we let that go unacknowledged. – at Queens, NY
A lot of great work represented in the Lortel nominations. Ah, to be in these audiences again...some day. [And was great to meet @april_matthis briefly after this IFP reading]
Fun fact: two of the Lucille Lortel Award nominees for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Play—April Matthis (@april_matthis) and Kara Young (@KARAakter)—took part in our @SAGindie Reading Series at the 2019 IFP Week.
Congrats to all!

Before MUDBOUND or BESSIE, or this year's THE LAST THING HE WANTED, there was PARIAH.
Dee Rees' feature debut participated in the 2010 Narrative Lab, alongside Andrew Dosunmu's RESTLESS CITY, Victoria Mahoney’s YELLING TO THE SKY, and more.

Tony Award-winner Ali Stroker (of @OklahomaBway) dishing on her love of #IFPALUM CRIP CAMP?
Well, we just...cain't say no.
Hey! This is @ALISTROKER here to talk about CRIP CAMP, Netflix’s new documentary from directors Nicole Newnham & Jim LeBrecht — a film that blew me away. (thread)

There are a lot more important things happening today, but let us not forget that today, apparently, is also Kelly Reichardt's birthday. Here is a gem from an interview back in 2008: nytimes.com/2008/11/30/magaz…
FIRST COW out this Friday. Happy Kelly Reichardt Week.

GREEN BOOK is the worst best picture Oscar winner in more than a decade. latimes.com/entertainment/mo…
Deeply saddened by this. Chicago stalwart and all around great guy. Honored to have finally met and spent time on a festival jury with him a dozen years ago. RIP. See his films.
With great sadness and shock, we share the news that Kartemquin associate Bill Siegel, Director of the Academy Award-nominated The Weather Underground (2003) and Emmy Award-winning The Trials of Muhammad Ali (2013), has passed away. kartemquin.com/news/remember…
ALT Bill Siegel
Heartily agree...and this is my 48th edition. The panel was great, but the film - an absolutely stunning experience.
Happy Anniversary, @loissmith! xitter.cf/classicalcinema/status…
Thrilled to be part of this winning team for 3rd year, this year under team name "Justice for Stuhlbarg" @Videology xitter.cf/erikluers/status/96796…
Back-to-back undisputed champs! There were 27 teams competing this year in Academy Awards trivia at @Videology, but there could only be one winner: We came, we saw, we DOMINATED once again. The victory parade will be scheduled in the coming days
THE GREATEST SHOWMAN may or may not be what everyone needs right now, but @davidehrlich’s review is a tasty holiday treat in itself. bit.ly/2DeLYmR
RIP John Heard. Lucky to have seen him onstage early 70s. Then from Between the Lines on always dependably good and, in Cutter’s Way, great.
