"we get to do the thing that very few independent journalistic outlets get to do / challenging power and earning trust in an era where trust has dried up / because wealth has meant you can manicure reality"

"I do want to know: What's behind that door?"

wayne wang’s chan is missing (1982) feels small at first then you realize it’s carrying a whole city

Cried through the first take of this video. Our arts team was decimated, most arts reporters, most critics, in the mass layoffs at @washingtonpost. It's a sad day for anyone who cares about the arts — now for action, looking for work, ways to still support artists.
thinking about Medium Cool (1969, dir/DP: Haskell Wexler). a newsroom, a city, a line quietly crossing.

I got laid off today with my other talented Posties. It was an amazing ride to do more open source work and keep reporting on Iran. Thank you to my amazing colleagues and editors for making space for some of my favorite work. Please DM if you'd like to work together.

RESURRECTION is one of the best-reviewed films of the year and it's STLL PLAYING in cinemas nationwide. Don't miss your chance to catch this trippy masterpiece on the big screen! resurrection.film
one of my favorite watches lately: I’m Not Everything I Want to Be (2024, Klára Tasovská). tender, unforced, real.
someone uploading rare asian cinema at 3am with subtitles they timed themselves isn't piracy. it's infrastructure. it's how memory survives.

This equivalence is obviously insane, but there is a throughline here. Which is that this administration — and its array of compliant media companies — really want you to think that the marginalized people they're actively victimizing are somehow the real bullies. It's batshit

A Festival Moment with Josef Kubota Wladyka, director of "Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty!”
Josef Kubota Wladyka was inspired to write "Ha-chan, Shake Your Booty!", along with co-writer Nicholas Huynh, by his mother, who, at 81 years old, is still an amateur ballroom dancer. When Wladyka gave his mom a shout-out from the stage after the movie’s debut, the crowd erupted with cheers as she stood up from her seat in the audience and waved. “The film isn’t autobiographical in any way, but it’s very much a sort of devotion to her spirit,” says Wladyka. “My mom has been through a lot of tribulations in her life. She had to raise three boys on her own, and the one thing that she always fell back on to help her get through the hard times was dancing. So we very much wanted to create this film that was sort of an homage to her to show you that no matter how messy life gets, you got to keep moving forward and you’ve got to keep dancing.”
