The work of Gertrude Eileen Trevelyan was out of print and utterly forgotten for over 80 years. But now, thanks to the Recovered Books series from @bhousepress.bsky.social, four of her best novels are back in print.
All four are available in the US from @asterismbooks.bsky.social.

2024 was a sensational year for new releases. You would not know this if you only looked at the Oscar nominations.

Here's RUTH, ROSES AND REVOLVER (1987), a documentary from BBC's Arena series with David Lynch presenting clips from early surrealist films that he considered most significant to his own work. Big improvement over Dailymotion's copy. Only aired once! gofile.io/d/CWDkwh

A small selection of Christmas movies is now available on rarefilmm, didn't have much time to work on these so nothing too rare but I still wanted to upload some. Next year, if all goes well, should be a much better and varied selection. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas :)

Lindsay Anderson once said, “… when two or three who love the cinema are gathered together, the name of Mary Astor always comes up.” What few of her film fans know, however, is that after she said goodbye to her acting career, she went on to write six striking novels.

Some (not 20) books that influenced me, with explanations.
5. Dorothy Richardson's Pilgrimage
For a man, Pilgrimage, its 13 volumes amounting to over 2,000 pages, involves weeks/months of seeing the world through the eyes of a woman who refuses any subservience to men. It's extremely mind-opening.

I watched this last night. For research (seriously). Heartbreaking to learn that the amazing Kay Kendall died less than two years later from leukemia. And sad to learn that her husband, Rex Harrison, and her doctor kept the fact of her disease from her. Was that kind or cruel?
