Very grateful to @filmcomment for the chance to write about the dearly missed Ken and Flo Jacobs. Ken, the eternal punk from Brooklyn, and Flo, the angel and badass of the avant-garde. https://t.co/mYs4Sv3i87

Grateful for this delightful and well-researched piece by @dimension_tide about Elvira Madigan and the Bo Widerberg retrospective that kicks off today @filmforumnyc. I'm introducing the 8:10 screening. The info in this piece about the NY Times fashion coverage is priceless.
this weekend @FilmForumNYC kicks off a retrospective (guest programmed by @davidpschwartz) honoring the still-underrated Swedish leftist filmmaker Bo Widerberg, with his 1967 arthouse sensation ELVIRA MADIGAN. Some thoughts from me in today's @ScreenSlate

Kevin Brownlow's 1964 film It Happened Here, playing @filmforumnyc, imagines a democratic country gone fascist. Wrote about it for @Screenlate. Pauline Murray gives one of the greatest screen performances by a non-actor. https://t.co/NBoKQEfIqf

Ken Jacobs, Little Stabs at Happiness (1963) "I was interested in immediacy, a sense of ease, and an art where suffering was acknowledged but not trivialized with dramatics. Whimsy was our achievement, as well as breaking out of step." https://t.co/Q1C6JumPkc

Tomorrow (7/27, 5pm) @movingimagenyc: Tom Gunning will join live by Zoom to talk with Giuseppe Boccassini and me, after a screening of the remarkable RAGTAG, an avant-garde wonder made with footage from 300+ film noirs.

Ragtag draws from more than 300 film noirs from the 1940s and 1950s to reveal the intoxicating dreamlike nature of the genre, and Desire draws from melodramas from around the world. Giuseppe Boccas...
