Can you survive as a filmmaker who speaks truth to power? I spoke to three of the biggest names in the genre, @aiww, @TheDissidentMov director Bryan Fogel, and Gianfranco Rosi, to discuss the state of the documentary today for @ftweekend ft.com/content/3b2c53…

The Nest, an exquisite domestic drama that plays out like a thriller is out today. I spoke to the director Sean Durkin for the FT on the horror of family. ft.com/content/d184fc…

@IanDunt Hi Ian thought you might be interested in my interview with the director Bryan Fogel about the difficulties he encountered getting The Dissident released. The piece also features @aiww and Gianfranco Rosi talking about the decline of political docs. ft.com/content/3b2c53…

These films will only be made if people support them. And if they're not made, the regime will have achieved exactly what it set it to do.

The Dissident is on Amazon Prime and I can't recommend it strongly enough. The Saudi government did everything they could to stop it finding a platform. I know this sounds a bit soap box, but it really does feel like a liberal duty to watch and promote it.

It was a real pleasure to speak with Best Picture and Best Director nominee Lee Isaac Chung about his beautiful film @MinariMovie for the FT. #Oscars

This week, @einav_dan asks whether docmakers can speak truth to power in the age of Netflix for @FinancialTimes, @Sohonet dives into the Ken Burns-directed doc on Ernest Hemingway, @UCIrvineIPAT reviews #fairuse over the last 2 years, and more. documentary.org/blog/essential…

Great @FTLifeArts @einav_dan feature on the struggle to speak truth to power in the age of streaming w/ @aiww & @bryanfogel. “The message that has been sent is clear: you cannot survive if you question power.” ft.com/content/3b2c53…

Very interesting look by @einav_dan at the future of political documentaries when streaming giants are wary of angering China + other authoritarian regimes. Netflix’s refusal to distribute The Dissident - about Khashoggi’s murder - isn’t encouraging. google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.ft.c…

'"Famous Blue Raincoat" offers up perhaps the clearest synthesis of Cohen the poet-novelist and Cohen the singer-songwriter.' Dan Einav on Leonard Cohen's tale of adultery, regret and loneliness on.ft.com/2XbJPDz

To be fair to my landlord here, he's taken a run-of-the-mill complaint about a leak in my room and elevated it to a metaphysical debate. #londonliving #landlords #generationrent

I wrote about the ultimate road trip song, CCR's electrified anti-privilege anthem "Fortunate Son", for this week's @FTLifeArts "Life of a Song".

Another plug for my interview with the excellent @sharonvanetten in today's @FTLifeArts

I met with one of the best singer-songwriters working today, @sharonvanetten, for this weekend's @FT to talk about her latest album (for me, the best of 2019 so far), personal growth and mental health. Give it a read here:
