Wonderful to have the opportunity to see @sanditan beautiful film Shirkers with an audience as part of @ImageWorksCDF #UnfinishedFilmFest with producer Sophia Siddque speaking about how they approached the film "like an exorcism".

I’m chuffed to have my article included in the Oct 2022 issue of the @fiaf1938 Journal of Film Preservation: en.calameo.com/fiaf/subscrip…. I began writing about women’s lost films for my undergrad diss in Dec 2019… and three years later I’m glad to get my obsession out there! 1/4

Wow @TABULA4 has not just been the leader of the institute or the festival, she’s been a guiding light for the possibilities of (especially) nonfiction filmmaking. She used her perch to expand our conversations, embolden our visions and help us all make better work. 🙏🏻

Leos Carax: "In the 80s, I made 3 films with the same people. Then I stopped making films. We all separated. When I made this, I didn’t take anybody from the past. So this is the first time I made a film alone" POLA X screens 10/12 in 35mm w/ @sanditan: ow.ly/jPp250wskkA
