A poignant article from my friend Phillip Smith about watching movies in prison. Bringing tv (& now tablets) into prison was an act of pacification, yet one that has been cruelly monetized.

Four years ago I first connected with Deepa; one year ago we put her films on the Criterion Channel; and last week she finally came to NY and we went to the closet in person 🥹

Recommend Phillip Vance Smith II in @Filmcomment about barriers to watching movies and TV in prison. Smith, incarcerated in NC, reported this story out … they’re voices from NY, NC and Calif. Tablets hold promise, but greed, censorship stand in the way. filmcomment.com/blog/streaming…

Walking out of a screening of the absurdist anti-authoritarian musical *Love in the Time of Malaria* to read news of the horrible arrests at NYU! What is reality and what is fiction our collective nightmare of Khojpuri??

If you’re involved in any of these anti-genocide actions at universities, please make sure to save your emails, flyers and other papers so that in 50 years your university can proudly display them as part of their special collections

It’s actually WILD to me that we live in a country where a university openly and proudly invests in weapons manufacturing. It breaks the brain. Why? What business does a university have in killing machines?

I was excited to be asked onto the Hot Docs jury early this year— my first in-person invite. At the risk of making it my last, I can’t allow myself to be used by an institution with contempt for labor and accommodations for genocide. Enough. Do better or we will do without you ❌

Those, like me, who will read this book should also listen to what is an excellent podcast with the author. I can't wait to give this book a read. Anyone interested in Frantz Fanon should give a listen.

'In LA CHIMERA, the light of day is too bright, too unkind. From the very beginning, we crave the dark of the underworld where the film’s tombaroli, or tomb-robbers, do their shady business.'

Devika Girish digs deep into the new Alice Rohrwacher film.

Despite arrests, Columbia students are still going strong at this historic anti-genocide encampment on the university campus. They are demanding that Columbia divest from the Zionist regime and their numbers are steadily growing.

Amazing chat with Adam — who just won a Guggenheim for nonfiction! — about Fanon’s incredibly wide-raning influence on artists & filmmakers, including Claude Lanzmann, Ousmane Sembene, Med Hondo, Antonioni, Claire Denis, Haneke & more.

My cover on how, in the run up to the elections, Hindi cinema resembles a vast, amorphous ad for the BJP
