I’ve always loved Q&As, as a cinema goer at the film forum in NYC and now regularly running them with @cinetopia.bsky.social. This #London one for Kims Video was extra special — a fantastic way to begin the film’s UK tour!
More screenings coming soon! cinetopia.co.uk/kimsvideo

The lady who stayed in my flat this winter re-arranged my #manekineko mug and I’m rather impressed by her placement of such. It’s bound to bring good luck among good company 😁🐱🧸🐇🐮🫏🤞🏻

Last evening in Berlin, it’s been a fantastic week, bday treats & fancy hotel tortes, so many films, lots of meetings with friends and colleagues, a spa to die for (and to travel for), and a few lucky, happy cats along the way #manekineko #berlinale
