Still beaming after Tuesday night’s celebration of Chytilová's DAISIES (1966) @ Czech Center of New York. Can’t wait for the @jcmsjournal.bsky.social dossier to drop (open access) this fall! Talks by my co-editor Masha Shpolberg and contributors Barbora Bartunova, Meta Mazaj, Dijana Jelača...

Leana Hirschfeld-Kroen, and a virtual @hennefem.bsky.social! Plus a brand new film, GUSTATORY GRATITUDES, by the very talented animator Kelly Gallagher made for the occasion. Night concluded w/ rooftop party (@aurspiers.bsky.social couldn't make it but is another brilliant author in our dossier!)
