Glad to see that Simón Mesa Soto's A Poet has a U.S. theatrical release date (Jan. 30)! The film was one of our favorite watches at this year's AFI Fest, and you can read our review of it in our festival coverage.

This is incredible! They are auctionining off Moira Shearer's red shoes from Powell and Pressburger's The Red Shoes! We hope these end up in a museum!

Rest in power, Tatsuya Nakadai 💙 We love Nakadai in all of the Kurosawa and Kobayashi's films, and thinking of Kobayashi, it's difficult at this sad moment to not want to watch Harakiri just for his performance.

So glad that the Knoxville Museum of Art has finally dedicated a room to the work of the Knoxville Seven: Kermit Ewing, Carl Sublett, Walter Stevens, Robert Birdwell, Joanne Higgs, Richard Clarke, and Phillip Nichols! Brilliant abstract expressionism.

This is the last weekend of the exhibit at the Knoxville Museum of Art that celebrates the legacy of Alfred and Jane West Clauss, and we must take this moment to say how much we've always admired these wartime posters that Alfred created!

"If this almost three-hour experience from Jude seems too overwhelming, it should. Dracula is as bombastic of an experience as the equally polarizing 2019 masterwork from Albert Serra, Liberté." -- Lily and Generoso Fierro
Dracula – Ink 19
Lily and Generoso review Dracula, director Radu Jude’s second feature of 2025, a delightfully controlled explosion of tales connected to everyone’s favorite parasitic impaler.

Rest in peace to the brilliant UK filmmaker, Peter Watkins 💙 If you've not seen The War Game (1966) and Punishment Park (1971), please do! They are as relevant now as they were when they were made! Also, his film on Edvard Munch is essential. A work which Bergman called genius!
