The incredible people at @imprintfilms.bsky.social took a risk with this set because some early J-Horror titles were only available at the time in SD, but they’ve done an amazing job bringing these back to life. Shout out to Josh Hibberd for trusting my ideas for this! “A centrepiece documentary”!!

Just to weigh in on the “sole female director at Venice” conversation… many women, like me, have written fiction feature films that have been considered good enough for great producers to onboard. Then they can’t get the funding because financiers don’t understand women’s perspective or “gaze”.

Female film-makers still being squeezed out of industry, London film festival director says
Over 40% of films in LFF programme are female-made, but only two of 21 gala films are directed by women Female film-makers are still being squeezed out of the industry as they progress beyond their debut films, the director of the London film festival has said, adding that “the dial does not seem to be moving”. Kristy Matheson’s comments came as LFF announced its full programme for this year’s event, which runs from 7 to 19 October. Of the 251 titles, 109 (43%) are made by female film-makers, but only two of the 21 gala films are directed by women. Continue reading...
