In 1989, Aardman Animations was commissioned by Channel 4 to make a series of short films based on interviews with the general public. “War Story” featured WWII veteran Bill Perry recounting his memories of Bristol in the Blitz. This touching, very funny film was the result youtu.be/ps0hy1j4g3s?...

Three panel comic. Panel 1: scene from the movie Aliens; Ripley is in a mech suit and delivers her iconic line: “get away from her, you bitch!” Panel 2: the xenomorph queen lunges at Ripley in the robotic suit and they engage in a fight. Panel 3: later, the xenomorph queen is standing in the shower, mid wash. She says, “‘it takes one to know one, honey.’ That’s what I should have said.”

No longer dreaming of playing Bond, today’s group of young British and Irish actors are fun, reflective and helping to redefine masculinity. I'm all for it, says Nerve film critic Ellen E Jones

I’ve been thinking about the outright discrimination American distributors have shown towards films like No Other Land, Gaza: Doctors Under Attack and other titles, that have been unjustly exiled. www.indiewire.com/features/com... The Film Industry's Cowardice on Palestine Diminishes Cinema Itself

The Film Industry’s Cowardice on Palestine Threatens to Diminish the Value of Cinema Itself — Opinion
Movies have no relevance if they turn away from reality, which is what the distribution struggles of "No Other Land" and Nadav Lapid's "Yes" suggest.
