I’m guest programming the Must-Watch Indies series at FACETS starting in April! Each month I’ll be programming indie films that are singular works made outside the Hollywood studio system. My first slate of films starts screening on April 11th! 🎟️ Tickets and showtimes: https://facets.org/portfolio-category/must-watch-indies/ 🍿
My new year gift to you all is this 2,600+ title @letterboxd.social list that compiles all of the films listed as First Viewings and Discoveries in the @screenslate.bsky.social year end poll. It's probably the only list where you'll find Rollerball (2002) alongside 25 films directed by Mikio Naruse. https://letterboxd.com/jlalibs/list/screen-slate-first-viewings-and-discoveries/
“Revisiting Chinese Cinema,” a 12-film retrospective, will be accompanied by master classes from Chen Kaige, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Huang Jianxin, Ann Hui, and Tsai Ming-Liang @ #HKIFF50 ! https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/9110-revisiting-chinese-cinema
