I made a piece of software! It’s called the film|minutes video|graphic workstation. It’s pretty niche but cool if you want to take notes or do very close readings of films/videos.

Eric Hoyt wrapped the panel by recording his own love tape, and expressing his feelings about the NEH.

In the spirit of Wendy Clarke’s work, he’d like for it to be shared widely and seen by as many people as possible.

Beautiful piece on Linda Williams (1946-2025 💔) in the NY Times. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/a...
Linda Williams, Who Introduced Pornography to Academia, Dies at 78
One of the first to write seriously about a fraught subject, she also played a major role in developing the field of film studies and feminist film theory.
