Finally got around to my list of the best documentaries of 2023 ( some fun extras). Films from USA, Canada, France, Brazil, Tunisia and even Greenland. A remarkably strong year for films about First Nations people, too. And a lil somebody called Beyonce. thefilmexperience.net/blog/2…

not to sound too high and mighty but why isn't there just a zero tolerance policy for gambling for umpires? why do australians treat gambling like some sort of essential human right instead of a broadly detrimental hobby activity with massive avenues of exploitation for refs

Another @sydfilmfest review at reDocumented, this time the sublime BARBARA FOREVER. A film as essential as the work of Barbara Hammer about whose life and works it covers. Really beautiful stuff! redocumented.ghost.io/sydney…

A second review from @sydfilmfest is now up on reDocumented. This time for Aanikoobijigan [ancestor/great-grandparent/great-grandchild], a film that leans so hard on its style that the weight of its subject can rarely shine through. redocumented.ghost.io/sydney…

Thanks a lot @MIFFofficial and @ACMI. What a royal pain in the arse this is gonna be.

The @sydfilmfest has begun and my first review is now up. It is for the largely quite captivating avant-garde work of performance art and activism, JOY BOY: A TRIBUTE TO JULIUS EASTMAN. At only 60-minutes, your mileage may vary but I dug the vibes a lot redocumented.ghost.io/sydney…

Finally remembering to promote the 2hr special I produced for my @JOY949 show, Strictly Soundtracks, about @AllyPankiw's LILITH FAIR: BUILDING A MYSTERY. Lots of doc talk and incredible music to be heard and just in time for Emmy FYC season! Listen share! joy.org.au/strictlysoundtrac…

Cannes may be done for another year, and while I was not in the south of France (regretfully!), I did just watch the second film directed by that festival's leader, Thierry Frémaux, and had quite an emotional response to it. My review up at reDocumented. redocumented.ghost.io/lumier…

Kylie has faced an astonishing amount of abuse across her storied career. I’m glad the new Netflix docuseries highlights that she’s triumphed *despite* all this crap bit.ly/43ipQVU

we are at the point where the main bullying towards Madonna has shifted from the general public towards stan culture. i honestly have not seen any other female (or male) artist at 67 or beyond getting hated and bullied this much by stan culture, especially by gay stans. this is EXACTLY what Madonna is talking about in Bring Your Love. Madonna will always be a threat because she forces people to face their own insecurities simply by existing, staying productive, evolving, and still having fun doing it. People can joke, drag, obsess, and try to diminish her every move but the reality is simple: nobody spends this much energy trying to tear down someone who is irrelevant. the constant fixation only proves her immerse impact . she’s still disrupting expectations at an age where society (society is young people too) expects women to disappear quietly and that makes people uncomfortable. #ConfessionsII

MADONNA: TRUTH OR DARE (aka In Bed With Madonna) was released exactly 35 years ago today on the 10th of May 1991. I did a retrospective piece on the reDocumented blog. Please enjoy and share and go listen to Madonna! redocumented.ghost.io/living…
