Watched Children of the Wicker Man today at #BAFTSS2025 - a film that delves deep into fractious family relationships surrounding the film, not to mention the fascinating details about the film’s chequered production. Amazing work @ellwrig.bsky.social, Chris Nunn & all! 🙏

Thank you Rick, Mary, Douglas, James and Pietari and the whole team. You have worked so very hard. BAFTSS is a special conference: it’s always uniquely BAFTSS, but it’s also unique to the host institution each time. Can’t wait to see what it’s like at Bournemouth. (But first some rest.)

Had a great @baftss2025.bsky.social conference! Amongst much doom & gloom around the future HE in the UK, the conference a brilliant showcase of all the fantastic research on film, TV & beyond. Following my paper on Slow Horse's London, it's time for a lie-down!

This was such a fun panel for the @screeningsex.bsky.social SIG at #BAFTSS2025 with @polinazelm.bsky.social, Donna Peberdy, and Belén Salinas Torres! I discussed the representation of hook-up apps and their media archaelogies in recent Spanish romantic comedies on streaming

Marso examines how filmmakers scramble our senses to open up space for encountering and examining the political conditions of patriarchy, racism, and existential anxiety.
