Absolutely amazing tool to fix out of sync subtitles that I discovered recently, can't tell you how much of a game changer, maybe life changer even this has been for me lately, it's really like magic, what used to take hours if not days to fix now gets fixed in seconds or minutes at worst.

How about a little anticipated Christmas gift? Here's a link for a collection of digital restored copies of the almost complete filmography of Hungarian animator, graphic artist and director Sándor Reisenbüchler. One of my favorite discoveries in recent years.

A few more Akerman rarities, the 2 short films weren't online despite having been released on Bluray so I thought they'd be worth sharing here, thanks a lot to my buddy T for tracking them down. English subtitles for LE MARTEAU by Serpotkine @ Twitter.
