I was invited to curate a series on experimental 3D filmmaking for this year's @PuntodVistaFest, called "Forever Young: Cinema in relief." Three programmes, nineteen films, six different formats. April 21-22. puntodevistafestival.com/en/2026-editio…

Some news: I'm being laid off! After 11+ years and 48 issues, Friday will be my last day. I'm 100% looking for work and definitely not married to being in film. I have many transferable corporate/organizational skills. Email in bio.

@fireineveryshot I don’t think I’m “reducing.” A tone of respect in disagreement goes a long way

You called for Wavelengths filmmakers to pull out of tiff (which, if so, festival = thrilled and decidedly un-sabotaged, contrary to your viewpoint) more than any filmmaker who'd have made an actual impact by pulling out. We disagree on protest strategies, & you sound petulant.

@fireineveryshot You’ve been singling me out, implicitly and overtly, in your arguments since you started this.

@fireineveryshot So: remove my voice, don’t try to fight the situation and make it better (as it was in the recent past, when you weren’t bothered enough to not attend)? I’m confident my presence did more good than if I abstained.

Critics Mark Asch, Alexander Mooney, & Lawrence Garcia join Blake to send off TIFF in our final podcast. Films discussed: Blue Heron, Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, Mile End Kicks, Erupcja, Bouchra, With Hasan in Gaza, & The Voice of Hind Rajab moiree.transistor.fm/episodes/moire…
