What happens to the body at a film festival?
In the first correspondence piece written by the participants in @FilmFestLocarno's Critics Academy, Pierre Jendrysiak, @CiciPeng_, and Julia Scrive-Loyer write on the subconscious, sleeping, and smoking.

« Je suis un acteur. Un comédien joue, il passe des années à apprendre, alors que l’acteur vit. Moi, j’ai toujours vécu mes rôles. Je n’ai jamais joué. Un acteur est un accident. Je suis un accident. Ma vie est un accident. Ma carrière est un accident »
Alain Delon, 1935-2024.

Tories: on 131 seats.
Obliterated.
Just for a moment - time to savour the moment.
The Tories trashed the country. Not a single achievement even on their own terms.
The worst government in British democratic history.
Smashed to pieces: finally, some sweet sweet justice.
My home city of Bologna morphs into cinephile heaven; some of the finest @mubi peeps are in town; we collectively fall for astounding Japanese studio system filmmakers, and I get papped with the great @danielkasman. A #CinemaRitrovato edition for the ages — my cup runneth over
