A few more pictures from my time at the Cannes Film Festival, had an especially great time hanging out with fellow Nebula creators @thomasflight.nebula.tv and @patrickhwillems.bsky.social

Art is political not just in its capacity for resistance or revolution, but in its capacity as refuge.

You don't make countercultural art only in hopes of changing politics (though that's a fine aim), you make countercultural art so that there's a vibrant, appealing and beautiful alternative culture for people to participate in and find meaning within.

This 100% except it's nothing new. Production has been increasingly divorced from actual needs of consumers since the 1920s thanks to Edward Bernays. I think it's just harder to notice the "needs that are constructed by advertising" that around at our birth vs. the ones created in our lifespan.

Due to recent events, this week's laserdisc rip is the Twin Peaks Visual Soundtrack. A Japan-exclusive disc from 1992 featuring Angelo Badalamenti's score set against a bunch of B-roll that a Japanese film crew captured of various places in Snoqualmie, Washington

Title card reading "TWIN PEAKS Visual Soundtrack MUSIC COMPOSED BY ANGELO BADALAMENTI"

His book on effortless mindfulness and the whole concept has definitely given me tools to much more easily "flip that switch" into a mindful headspace.

Thomas Flight @thomasflight.nebula.tv · 23/01/2025

Yeah this has been my feeling as well.

The deep irony of course being that X was one of the most most significant tools of propaganda last year. Not enough people talking about "The Art of The Surge" as highly produced, pure, unadulterated propagandistic TV that co-opts documentary aesthetics to create the appearance of objectivity.

One more to share, I really like the "effortless mindfulness" approach these days, which is taught by Loch Kelly here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fDc... But I'd say just seek out whatever teachers/system feels more accessible and comfortable to you!

Good luck! If you start the journey of exploring mindfulness I hope you find it beneficial. It's not necessarily easy, or a linear path, but like I said in the video, starting is one of the single greatest things I've ever done for myself.

Meditation is like exercise. You're stretching and expanding an internal posture, a way of perceiving yourself and the world, an orientation of the mind. And the more you exercise that the more time you can spend in that awareness, even when you're not meditating.

These days I'm more drawn to the style modeled here by Adyashanti: youtu.be/vhdU15aJJxk?...

When you notice your mind wander you want to gently and non-judgmentally guide it back to wherever you want your attention to rest.

Thomas Flight @thomasflight.nebula.tv · 22/01/2025

By sitting you're building the mental muscle to just relax and pay attention, and your mind eventually learns to quiet on it's own. You get better at resting your awareness where you want it to be, and that gets less distracted.

Thomas Flight @thomasflight.nebula.tv · 22/01/2025

A lot of people bail on meditation or give up because they have an idea of what it will feel like or what the goal is. They sit and their mind is racing and they get distracted and they think "I can't meditate." But that's what the meditation is for!

Thomas Flight @thomasflight.nebula.tv · 22/01/2025

The most important thing for any of them is to just do it. Sit comfortably in silence, choose a place you'd like your attention to rest (a mantra, your breath, the feeling of your feet on the ground, etc) and just be wide awake and listen.

Thomas Flight @thomasflight.nebula.tv · 22/01/2025

Happy to! There are many ways to approach meditation/mindfulness and I've tried a lot. You can get caught up in the dogma, or finding the "best one" but just start trying some and you'll find the approach that clicks for you.

What hypothetical dream films would you greenlight if you could? I'd love a gnostic gospel adaptation by Eggers (starring Dafoe) so much, don't get my hopes up like this Robert.

David Lynch changed how I think about art. Very sad to hear of his passing today. I wrote a bit about what his work has meant to me over here: open.substack.com/pub/thomasfl...

My favorite little character trope in tv and film is when they pour a ridiculous amount of sugar in their coffee. You're like "Oh... this guy's got personality... He's just a little bit *unhinged*"

Every day there are people who wake up and their aspiration in life is to make the world of Blade Runner a reality.

Maybe the clearest feature of AI writing is just how mind-numbingly boring it is (especially stylistically). Which has this weird side-effect where now I just assume everything boring was written by an AI.
