I’m happy to share that I’ll be hosting this online panel discussion as part of the ICO’s Young Audiences Screening Days 2025! more info to come soon. register here to attend: www.independentcinemaoffice.org.uk/screening-da...

Independent Cinema Office - Young Audiences Screening Days.

(Online Event) Children's Cinema Redefined: How To Engage Young Audiences With International Arthouse Films

Event Description: While there are often thriving kids audiences for Hollywood studio films in our cinemas, there are benefits for offering the same wide breadth we offer to adults to younger patrons. How can we encourage parents and children to widen their palate, to make the 'risky' a risk worth taking? In this panel, led by curator Nathasha Orlando Kappler (Reverie Cineclub), we'll hear from practitioners who have broken the barriers to an incredible world of film that has made special connections with young people.

it was a delight to see Sally Potter introduce her 1970 short Play, as part of @opencitydocs.bsky.social’s ongoing experimental film programme for children, ‘Listen with your eyes’. the kids asked some very sweet questions, which included asking Potter if she got her film camera from Santa!

Had a mildly terrifying but incredibly rewarding experience introducing a sold out screening of Girlfriends at the BFI!! Thank you to Aga and Kim for having me, to @nathasha.bsky.social for helping me rehearse, and especially to those in the audience who laughed at my silly little jokes 💘

“it’s a wonderful life” (1946) remains the best christmas film about the importance of mutual aid during the decline of capitalism.

george bailey experiences the wonder of life and shares it by running through the town. in this photo he’s outside the “you are now in bedford falls” sign filled with glee in the 1946 film “it’s a wonderful life”

'There’s a growing movement of progressive Jews who believe the occupation and system of apartheid do not make Israelis or Jews safer, who believe in Palestinian liberation, and who never consented to a genocide being executed in our name.'

The Growing Jewish Resistance to Israel’s War on Palestine

Jewish socialists and progressives in the U.S. are organizing to say that “never again” means never again for anyone.
