Israel's atrocities are escalating in Gaza, where most of my surviving family members have been sheltering, after being uprooted from Jabalia Refugee Camp. My aunts, uncles, their children are facing unimaginable dangers & in need of urgent relief. Thanks! https://t.co/yfxzypkzoY

Oh, no; in memory and honor of David Bordwell, whose jovial warmth was inseparable from his titanic character, uniting scrupulous scholarship, vast erudition, boundless enthusiasm, keen judgment, vital writing, and a deep love for cinema and for those who shared that passion...

RIP the incredible David Bordwell. He was a mentor to me long before I got to meet him, and he was a mentor to me formally for a long time after, offering notes on things I was writing, sharing my work, and giving me counsel on all matters. A great mind, a great man.

Shocked to hear about David Bordwell. Inarguably the single most influential film scholar this country ever produced. I don't care what your theoretical commitments are or your area of focus: we are all in his debt. Probably the greatest piece of film scholarship ever produced:
