There was a time I enjoyed House of Tabula (formerly known as Cinemacartographer), but the reactionary lens of the creators only grew more and more. Their latest video calls Sinners "hateful, meanspirited" and "racist" in a direct comparison to the actually racist Birth of a Nation. The topic

Hey everyone! I'm going to be working on a senior thesis film and we're trying to raise money for filming. We'd greatly appreciate any donations or any visibility on this.
The film is timely and deals with a woman seeking an abortion in a time when it was illegal

I initially wanted to see the new Dracula movie because vampires are very dear to me. Then I saw it was Luc Besson and that desire died fast

Been watching more of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's filmography and I think I'm really enjoying it more than I did when I first started a few years ago. Even started rewatching Berlin Alexanderplatz (and rereading the Döblin novel)

idk, as a film student I really love watching films when I have a class that has it as an assignment or in-class. I have made a habit of putting my phone away (though sometimes I do fail, but I succeed way more than I fail) and it's enhanced my enjoyment of film even more. Doing so

I watched An Elephant Sitting Still and it is probably one of the most depressing, pessimistic films I've ever seen but I still loved it. It was mesmerizing, tragic, and also had amazing shots in it.
Definitely worth a watch and it's on Kanopy. Just be sure to have something light prepared after

Wow, fuck this day.
I first discovered and watched Béla Tarr's films last year and it had a profound impact on me as a filmmaker and an artist. Never has a filmmaker left such an indelible mark on me since Bergman, Haneke, Waters, and Akerman. I started with Sátántangó and then moved through

I watched Vision - From the Life of Hildegard von Bingen and I found it to be a really good watch. Wrote a review, though definitely not spoiler-free if you wanna check it out. Barbara Sukowas delivers an excellent performance too.
It's on Kanopy if y'all wanna check it out!

Before today, I wasn't sure if I'd have the chops to direct this film I'm planning to propose for my university's thesis project, but now I believe in myself. I can do this and even if I make mistakes, and I will make mistakes, I will come out even stronger.
Feeling good now ❤️
