Such an incredibly well-deserved (and entirely expected) Best Actress win for Sarah Snook at the Tony Awards

So thrilled that I got to catch the show during my time in NYC for Music and the Moving Image, especially w/ my decades-long love of the novella and having missed the West End run last June

Overjoyed to get to present for the 7th time at NYU’s Music and the Moving Image conference, as well as chairing panels feat. work by truly inspirational colleagues.

In 2020, I found myself in a Zoom room with these gents at the (first online) Music and the Moving Image conference. This led to a 2½ year collaboration on a special issue of 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘤 𝘪𝘯 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴. Five years later, how amazing to meet together in-person for the first time!

Super time at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre last night for Armando Iannucci’s stage reimagining of Kubrick’s 𝘋𝘳 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦, after its recent transfer from the West End to Dublin

Stellar ensemble led by Steve Coogan, who—channeling Peter Sellers—dizzyingly oscillates between the show’s 4x lead roles

Grad students and ECRs working in film/screen studies: I cannot recommend this event more highly. Such a supportive, collegial community that I still try to return every alternate year.

Plus, it’s hosted by my dear alma mater / former place of work in 2025, @ucc.ie @uccfilmscreenmedia.bsky.social
