We covered Chapaev on the show a while back (around the film's 85th anniversary, actually). Our guest for that one was the magnificent @MovieKessler.
Delighted to have had a 90th anniversary retrospective piece on Soviet proto-action film Chapaev published over at @SWSilents! @MegascreenBri @Klassiki_Online

🇵🇱 Polish film director and screenwriter Krzysztof Kieślowski #BOTD found commercial success relatively late in his career. His final three films Three Colours: Blue (1993), White (1994) and Red (1994) make up the trilogy for which he is best remembered. @binochedaily @Wahrhaftig

This week’s Poster of the Week is from Orkhan Aghazadeh’s docu-fiction THE RETURN OF THE PROJECTIONIST (2024), which arrived on the platform last week. With echoes of CINEMA PARADISO (1988), The Return of the Projectionist is a nostalgic tribute to the communal power of cinema.

The Electric, the UK’s oldest working cinema, has not been granted listed status—a heartbreaking decision for those who value independent cinema and cultural heritage in our city. Birmingham deserves to protect and preserve its cinematic landmarks. We stand with all those
