Cameron Bailey should resign

"I regret that, and it's something that I know caused a lot of pain and hurt in the Jewish community in particular, and I apologize for that," Bailey told The Globe and Mail, when asked about the film's supposed disinvitation. I don't know which Jewish community Bailey is talking about—except perhaps those I know who were lied to in the media by the craven filmmakers behind this documentary—but I am Jewish, and I would like an apology for having to attend a festival run by spineless people who roll over for such crass, inhuman displays ostensibly in my name. Never have I felt so personally disrespected by TIFF, as both a Jew and a human being. The inability or unwillingness to stand up to Zionist bullying, at a time when the government of Israel is conducting a genocide against Palestinians, is unconscionable. It put me, personally, in the position of having to calm down friends and family who worried I was attending an antisemitic, censorious festival. It made me have to walk by as people waving flags of the country my parents were born in sickeningly protested outside Roy Thomson hall, advocating the continued slaughter of Palesintians.

In 2016, TIFF’s essential Wavelengths slate had 15 features, four shorts programs and five installations. This year, just eight features – fewer than Primetime, the section that previews TV series – three shorts programs and zero installations. #TIFF50 www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/ti...

Gave INLAND EMPIRE my first and only 10 on my blog a couple Aprils ago when I rewatched it for the first time in more than a dozen years and realized that every aspect of my taste, sensibility, way of thinking about and processing art was shaped by it, and most of his other movies aren’t far behind.

Working through an endless 3D due diligence list and it’s only becoming harder to tell how much I like many of these. Eg. Journey to the Center of the Earth: Some of the worst images / best depth in the 2000s wave. An utter insult to physics. A true post-Spy Kids 3D product. Ugly, dumb, and pure.

Finally well enough to catch one of @astrostic.bsky.social fantastic 3-D programs TIFF: The Treasure of the Four Crowns. One of the best 3-D experiences I've had, in no small part for the imaginative use of animal protrusions.

Just announced this morning, I’ve been invited to curate a 3D screening at IFFR (Rotterdam), called “Cinema of the Spectacles.” 7 films (ALL projected from 16mm prints), 5 different 3D formats, 4 types of glasses. Happening on February 4.

per Lobster, the films after Arrival of a Train "are Louis Lumière's relief tests. These are family views." I'm logging them as untitled for now, but will keep searching for clarity on these (and Lumière's* other 3D experiments). *Auguste wasn't interested in 3D. Stereoscopy was Louis's passion.

Blake Williams @astrostic.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

Still waiting to hear back, but I did find an account of Lumière's 3D presentation at the 1935 French Academy of Sciences saying he showed the Train remake as well as a comedy called L’Ami de Monsieur and a "documentary" called Sur la Riviera (possible the latter is the one we saw shot on a boat)
