The Lanckman Archive and Cinémathèque has once again expanded its collections...

I had a magnificent time at Il Cinema Ritrovato - many films, many friends, many drinks, slight hysteria throughout - but now I'm back and have to deal with things like unpacking my suitcase, getting some research done over summer (lol), and also a house move. Ahhhhhhhh.

If I was going to make an innocent victim read one Lovecraft short story, which one should I pick? (Story, not victim.) My instinct says Call of Cthulhu but I will take alternative suggestions...!

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

As the transgender community continues to fight for civil rights in the U.S., one of the most common arguments against progress is that transgender people are a recent phenomenon. But it’s a fight that’s been happening here for decades and around the world for centuries. ⤵️

Saw Maria, as a person who's been in love with Maria Callas for the past twenty years - and I LOVED it. I felt like the exact target audience for this rather lovely and mildly unhinged film.
