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

We are deeply saddened by the news of the loss of Linda Williams. Linda's support and generosity made the Screening Sex initiative what it is today. In recognition of Linda and her work we are inviting all to share thoughts and reflections on her enduring influence. screeningsex.com/2025/03/14/l...

Linda Williams

In light of the sad news of Linda Williams’s passing, we want to acknowledge how hugely influential Linda and her work have been for Screening Sex. Simply, there would be no Screening Sex wit…
