It gets worse… Members back at work today after taking lawful strike action are now being threaten with disciplinary procedures if their auto-replies mention the reason for their absence during future strikes. In what trade union world is this acceptable?

Extract from email to members threatening disciplinary action if they mention strikes in future out of office replies.

119 film and media scholars from 61 institutions across 16 countries have written to Travis Bell (The Movie Database) and Matthew Buchanan (Letterboxd) to make the case to reinstate early moving image works in their catalogues. Thank you to everyone who signed.

A letter that reads the following: Petition from scholars of film and media to reinstate early moving image works on TMDB and Letterboxd 13 March 2025 Dear Travis Bell (TMDB) and Matthew Buchanan (Letterboxd), We are scholars of film and media writing to you as representatives of The Movie Database (TMDB) and Letterboxd to express our dismay at the decision taken by TMDB to remove photographic motion studies/chronophotography from its database. Following an update in February 2025, TMDB’s New Content Bible began listing “photographic motion studies (chronophotography)” among the list of types of content not allowed in the database. Shortly thereafter, these works began to be removed from the database. We are writing to request that this decision be reversed. TMDB and Letterboxd, which uses the former’s database, are preeminent resources in film cataloging, used globally by millions each year. Up until recently, one of the great advantages of this database has been the extensive number of entries documenting early moving-image experiments by the likes of Charles Comte, Georges Demenÿ, Étienne-Jules Marey, and Eadweard Muybridge, among others. Whereas TMDB’s New Content Bible, in its justification of these works’ removal, draws attention to the fact that there are over 100,000 works by Muybridge, we fail to see how this renders them unsuitable for the database. Instead, such a figure only reveals the extensivity of these moving-image works and encourages curiosity around them. We are well aware of the debates around when cinema can be said to have begun, what constitutes film, and the disagreements that persist on these topics. Rather than act as the arbiter of what among early moving-image cultures constitutes film and what does not, we urge you to take a more capacious approach. Such an approach would be in line with TMDB’s ethos as a “community built” endeavour and Letterboxd’s articulation of itself as a network for “ grass-roots film discussion and discovery”; t…Sincerely, 1.
