As our Folklore Reimagined season continues, Dr Cüneyt Çakırlar explores the postmillennial wave of djinn-themed horror in Turkish cinema –where Anatolian folklore, Turkic shamanism, and Islamic mythology collide in stories of black magic and demonic possession. buff.ly/OOZJk0E

Medellín-set queer Colombian film Anhell69 sticks with you 🖤 The proximity/reality of death/anti-futurity in the queer underground. @cuneytcakirlar.bsky.social and I were post-watch discussing how most queer theory is not fit for purpose alongside the film's necropolitics of queer life in the city

DRILL TEAM adapts observations by Danijela Kulezic-Wilson on the similar musicality of Beau Travail (Denis) and The Fits (Holmer) into a rhythmic video essay. @filmstudiesff.bsky.social crafts an audiovisual duet of dancing and exercising characters, illustrating how bodies can become a soundtrack.

Gus Van Sant used parts of a specific Hildegard Westerkamp soundscape composition in two of his films. The video essay COMPOSING PERCEPTION takes the complete musical piece and "visually scores" it with sequences from various Van Sant films. An interesting videographic experiment by Randolph Jordan.
