(folk horror, shot in Super 16mm, with a Brueghelian touch; will always be ready for that).

it's a pity that you can't (or shouldn't 🤭) actually project this to an audience.

Saw Peter Hujar’s Day last week and loved it, and I’m excited we got it on 35mm for a short run at @brattletheatre.bsky.social Fri-Tues! Shot on 16mm, there’s a lovely warmth and texture to this movie, evocative of the mid-70s setting, it’s gonna look so great on film

The heads and tails of film reels, sometimes wildly etched into, sometimes hastily written on, sometimes graciously labeled, always feel like private discoveries we make on the inspection table or while threading up. Here is beautiful Reel 4 leader from

'One Battle After Another' will never be my PTA's favourite film.

but I will love the technical wizardry ("long live VistaVision!" – and that Jonny Greenwood score!) of this sequence for as long as I live.
