Bucket-List interview! The legendary Werner Herzog & African Conservational Biologist Dr. Boyes (the subject at the heart of GHOST ELEPHANTS). I do not post much on socials these days, particularly self-promotion, but I am genuinely pleased with how this went: screenanarchy.com/2026/03/ghos...

Friday One Sheet: THE SECOND
This beautiful watercolour poster for Tony Zhou and Taylor Ramos's The Second is hiding a subtle secret in plain sight. The short film centres around a pistols-at-dawn kind of duel, and the underlying complexity of motivations across two generations. The…
