Image of boys covertly passing cigarettes between toilet stalls in Jean Vigo's Zéro de conduite (1933). As they do so a Chaplin-esque shadow (belonging to actor Jean Dasté) begins appearing on the bathroom wall. Men passing cigarette smoke through a small straw passing through a tiny (but glorious) hole in their prison cell walls in Jean Genet's Un Chant d'amour (1950).

I’ve learned so much from @rymontgomery.bsky.social, who is doing excellent work on the French queer filmmaker Lionel Soukaz. À lire absolument

Brilliant keynote for our graduate symposium delivered by an old friend, Damien Pollard. A fascinating theorisation of the voice in sound cinema, from the dubbed voices that haunt the Italian giallo to the voiceover MCs of Ugandan ‘wakaliwood’
