Amazing to finally see DORIS WISHMAN'S final film last night at Braindead - and to reminisce about the magic of a 90's era Miami Beach that allowed us a brief overlap. Folks new to her work will find an excellent primer here by @cinemiasma.bsky.social : www.artforum.com/columns/whos...

a wonderfully perceptive, reflective essay on the oeuvre and ecrits, films complete and unfinished, of Chantal Akerman … @shreir.bsky.social

London Review of Books@lrb.co.uk · 6mo ago

‘We can’t avoid the fact that, if Chantal Akerman’s is a bedroom cinema, it might well be because she spent months at a time in bed. And if it’s also a manic, joyful cinema, this might be indebted to her highs.’ Daniella Shreir (@shreir.bsky.social) on the director. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

💥NEW EPISODE!💥 This month Tim is joined by @cinemiasma.bsky.social to discuss Barbara Loden's WANDA (1970). Available wherever you get your podcasts.

Brilliant. Can a cinema host me to extend this genius premise to present / intro WANDA and EL GOLFO? And for my reading of Wanda as paragon of sleeping in the cinema and the exhausted spectator, read my essay in S Jhaveri’s gorgeous collection NIGHT FEVER.

The Brattle Theatre@brattletheatre.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Y’know when the characters in a movie go to see a movie and it feels really meta? Well, with an “Ultimate Double Feature,” we play the first movie up until the point when they enter a cinema to watch a different film… then we play that film… then we go back to the first film to finish that story.

Meant to say, kudos to @cinemiasma.bsky.social for the teeming Barbara Loden series at Anthology Film Archives; the clip of her w/John Lennon and Yoko Ono on the Mike Douglas Show (6:15pm tonight) reminded me that I'd mentioned it in this piece on the wider context: www.newyorker.com/culture/rich...

For some filmmakers, interviews are a parallel creation to savor at length, apart from any of their specific movies that might be under discussion.
