Looking forward to seeing Glenda Rome's documentary Expressing The Earth about Kenneth White and geopoetics. If you're in or near Edinburgh it's on at the Filmhouse on 22 April and there are a few tickets left. The trailer is really beautiful.

Lothian Road by the Filmhouse, a Saturday evening, normally buzzing with people coming from bars, restaurants and thewatres nearby. But almost deserted: cinemas & bars were already closed as COVID spread across Europe, national Lockdown was days away. Strange times...

Well, it has been an immensely upsetting few days, & likely more to come in the near future before I (hopefully) get through this. So this afternoon I am taking myself off to one of my favourite places, the Filmhouse, to watch Nouvelle Vague & ignore everything else for a while.

Utter delight to have the Filmhouse back for its first Christmas season in years, and It's a Wonderful Life still wove its eternal magic today.

Jimmy Stewart, freshly back from the horrors he saw in the war, comrades lost in front of his yes, here trying to return to acting in a movie that moves through darkness to hope & love. Wonderful.

After a nice meal, we're back at the Filmhouse for a second evening of Spooky Season #film fun, with John Carpenter's classic The Thing.

First time viewing for one of my chums, will be a bit more of an eye opener for her, I think!

More Spooky Season #film fun planned - back to the Filmhouse with my chums again this evening, for the 4k restored version of Carpenter's classic The Thing. One of my chums has never seen it, suspect she is in for quite an eye-opener!

Good afternoon, Filmhouse . A young Jack Nicholson in a role that arguably made his reputation, beckons, but first coffee and a read in the FH café-bar, one of my favourite spots in my city.
