In Iran, a woman who was accosted by the “morality police” for not wearing hijab removes her clothing & roams the streets in defiance. She has since been arrested by IRGC forces and forcibly disappeared. This is the brave face of true resistance.

En la presentación de “Los hermanos del hierro”, con la familia de Ismael Rodríguez y Rafael Aviña. Un extraordinario y clásico western del cine mexicano que forma parte de la retrospectiva que este año dedicamos en el @FICM al cineasta mexicano.

My happiest find at this year's @FICM is Los Hermanos del Hierro, Ismael Rodriguez's hugely inventive 1961 western noir which anticipates much that Sergio Leone and Sam Peckinpah would later be praised for, and has echoes, too, of Raoul Walsh's Pursued.

RIP the great Dick Pope. A true gent, as well as being a brilliant cinematographer. He worked closely with us on the @BFI National Archive’s restoration of Mike Leigh’s Naked, and I spoke to him about his work on the film when the restoration premiered

While absorbing the distressing news that the contemptible Michael Gove has a series on BBC radio, I cling to the memory of last night’s final of the BBC Young Musician competition and dream of a time after Tim Davie and a return to civilised values.

This is a crucial thread for anyone interested in the future of journalism. Please read.
Journalists are meant to speak truth to power. That's our job. But what do you do when that power is your own news org? This thread (professional suicide note?) is about @guardian & @ObserverUK's future. Because it turns out you can’t believe everything you read on a poster.. 1/
