For @seattletimes.com, got more into the process of making WTO/99 with director Ian Bell who I'm going to now call the master of the match cut as there are so many moments in this documentary that completely blew me away. Go see it @nwfilmforum.bsky.social Fri.📽️

The weekend after a holiday is always slow and lethargic, so why not spend it with a classic call and response: Douglas Sirk's ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS and Rainer Werner Fassbinder's ALI: FEAR EATS THE SOUL.

Love to meet an Oscar winner early in their career! The equivalent for me: chatting with Barry Jenkins in the offices at @nwfilmforum.bsky.social while Medicine for Melancholy was playing. He's pictured here with Adam Sekuler after the screening--both better looking than my photos indicate.

HAPPYEND, the newest film from Neo Sora, comes to Northwest Film Forum THIS SUNDAY! Teeming with angst, rebellion, and a healthy dose of optimistic nihilism, HAPPYEND is a film that asks you to shake authority (and authoritarianism) to its core and have fun doing so, no matter the consequences.
