Hot A.Alvarez, ‘Night: An Exploration of Night Life, Night Language, Sleep & Dreams’

Béla Tarr (1955–2026)

@AvalynWu I watched this when I was 18 and it changed the course of my life.

The ten-minute-long single-take opening shot of Werckmeister Harmonies, where Valuska stages a solar eclipse using the bodies of bar patrons, remains completely magical to me.

"I don't care about stories. I never did. Every story is the same. We have no new stories. We're just repeating the same ones.. The film isn't the story. Its mostly picture, sound, a lot of emotions. The stories are just covering something" R.I.P Béla Tarr ~ The ~Turin Horse

Reading a horrible little story for Worms Mag here at the end of the month if anyone's interested

Since Oct 7--in the war, genocide and terrorism unleashed on and since that baneful day--humanitarian norms central to the post-WW2 order have been buried. The West must rescue from the rubble its respect for the human, or die. My @NewStatesman essay newstatesman.com/world/middle-e…

I’ll be reading a story at the next ‘New Work’ with the fabulous @WednesdayErskin, Rebecca Watson, and Brodie Crellin. Get your tickets: eventbrite.com/e/new-work-vol…

What's the movie you feel was made just for you?

@ObserverUK Pretty fucked to publish this on a day the IOF bombed an orphanage. Perhaps this is why the killing of children is always remarked upon: oxfam.org/en/press-relea…
