SATURDAY, MAY 30: Non Films presents DarkRoom at the historic @mdffparkway in Baltimore, Maryland! We’re thrilled to bring our screening series to one of the country’s great movie palaces: parkway.eventive.org/schedule/balti…

One of the rare movies where I genuinely couldn’t believe what I was watching. My friends and I still quote it all the time. crookedmarquee.com/classic-corner…

The Soviet Winnie-the-Pooh is a wonderful thing. And its version of Pooh himself is one of the great animated characters. The artists didn't take from Disney's version. They aimed for an "absolutely new bear" -- and they pulled it off. We explore: ─➤animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-absolute…

Just when you think there's no more...you get your hands on more...

Thrilled to debut a webpage dedicated to the lost cut of Orson Welles’ THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS. It features a screenplay-style format of the 131-minute edit, as well as a PDF of the RKO cutting continuity. Also, photos & storyboards of deleted scenes. bit.ly/4nA8Dk7

Let’s just get through today.

With Ira Sachs's new film, The Man I Love, at Cannes, a great short film of his, Last Address, showing where people who died of AIDS lived at the time—a mournful city poem, exquisite, profound, with history and the absent present on view—is free @DocAllianceFilm and its own site:

This week's 35mm screenings in NYC: May 18th - 22nd The Fleischers & Ernst Lubitsch at @FilmForumNYC, Teo Hernández at @MoMAFilm, Korean Cinema at @FilmLinc, Theif at @nitehawkcinema, Towards a Fortean Cinema at @AnthologyFilm, and more Tickets: analogfilmnyc.org/upcoming-scree…

***JULY - DECEMBER 2026 SUBSCRIPTION TITLE REVEAL #2*** Treasures of Soviet Animation, Vol. 4: Roman Davydov’s THE ADVENTURES OF MOWGLI (MAUGLI) - 1967-1971, Soyuzmultfilm, 90 min. The 4th installment in our ongoing series of newly restored Soviet animated gems from Soyuzmultfilm features one of the most visually stunning animated films ever made in Russia (or anywhere). Director Roman Davydov’s utterly glorious adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s 'The Jungle Book' was originally released as 5 separate short films between 1967 – 1971 and then combined into a single feature -- and frankly puts the better-known Disney version to shame with its phenomenal colors and highly stylized design. Featuring in-house restoration work by Deaf Crocodile! NOTE: Stills are unrestored and not indicative of the final released version. Also, the order of title announcements does not correspond to the months of release! Full month-by-month release details will come on Friday, along with the final subscription price. #deafcrocodile #bluray #blurayanimation #2danimation #sovietanimation #thejunglebook #theadventuresofmowgli #treasuresofsovietanimation #preorder #culmovies

An underrated element of the Cannes standing ovations is how the ushers link arms and won’t let you leave until the talent decides to go

A young Jean-Luc Godard wrote in the magazine 'Cahiers du Cinéma' on Kenji Mizoguchi's death: “On 24 August 1956, Japan's greatest film-maker died in Kyoto. And one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. Kenji Mizoguchi was the equal of a Murnau or a Rossellini... If poetry appears at every second, in every shot that Mizoguchi makes, it is because, as with Murnau, it is the instinctive reflection of the inventive nobility of its author.”
