1/ wrote a few thoughts on the shameful statement published in Le Monde: “No To War”.
The entire world knows the Iranian government is authoritarian. No one needs to prove this in 2025.
The Iran of today is not the Iran of pre-2022, and it will never go back to how it was.

Moroccan pro-Palestinian activist Redouan Kastet has been charged for “mocking the government”—and this is no joke. He faces another night in a Tangier prison. Global solidarity with Redouan is urgently needed. #FreeKastet

Yesterday before their films showed in TIFF's Wavelengths program, filmmaker Daphne Xu (Notes of a Crocodile) called out TIFF sponsor RBC for its investments in the Israeli military and in Coastal GasLink pipeline. Tiffany Sia (The Sojourn) reiterates the call re Coastal Gaslink.

Our joint investigation w/ @earshot_ngo and @AJFaultLines into the killing of 6-year-old Hind Rajab, her 4 cousins, her aunt and uncle, and 2 paramedics on 29 Jan 2024 challenges the Israeli Army’s claim that troops weren't in the area that day.

Following the sold-out screening at this year’s @OpenCityDocs festival, we’re thrilled to announce a week-long run of the new 4K restoration of Leila and the Wolves by Heiny Srour, at @ICALondon between 3-9 May. ica.art/films/leila-and-the-…
ALT A still from the film Leila & the Wolves, in which a brown woman of Arab origin looks at her own reflection in a circle-shaped mirror. Her hair is dark and her face expresses discomfort. What surrounds the mirror is a domestic-setting with partially visible furniture.

"that a 5,500 year old religion and culture must exist only as the support system for a 76-year-old colonial ethno-state. To call out this lie is a daring and dangerous act, and Glazer should be commended"
11 Mar 2024
Jonathan Glazer was actually reclaiming his culture from the pampered pro-Israel media prizefighters who argue that Judaism and Zionism are one and the same. To call out this lie is a daring act, and Glazer should be commended, writes @EdgeofSports.

A good reminder to follow the essential work of @CollabJapanFilm who revived Isao Fujisawa's BYE BYE LOVE (1974)—a lost treasure of '70s queer cinema—last August for the first time with English subtitles!
Read curator Akihiro Suzuki's (@2022Ucf) notes:

was blown away by the recently found late-Japanese New Wave gem BYE BYE LOVE (1974) by Isao Fujisawa @berwickfilmfest: a queer, psychedelic fever dream about a man who shoots a cop and goes on the lam with his genderfluid shoplifting lover through the countryside.
