Jane Kirkpatrick @janekirkpatrick.bsky.social · 29/01/2026Great to see that Fiume o Morte! won Best Documentary at the recent European Film Awards. Worth watching for how it shows nationalism as something staged, messy, and oddly theatrical. 020

Jane Kirkpatrick @janekirkpatrick.bsky.social · 04/12/2025Just reviewed Fiume o Morte! @e-international.bsky.social — a sharp, darkly comic documentary on the 1919 occupation of Fiume and the power of nationalist myth-making.
