Cinema is actually inherently left wing in the sense that it is an art form, and good art will always align itself with inquiry and exploration rather than a reproduction of existing values. But more importantly: Free Palestine.

the thing lynch does better than anyone else in the history of cinema is play with gradients of reality, starting from an understanding that all film (like life itself) can be understood as dream, and so all film (like life itself) can feel real + unreal. So his movies are (1/4)

Please fund movies by trans filmmakers instead of movies by cis filmmakers — if you need suggestions of trans filmmakers holler at me — I promise we’d all be happy to call our movie They/Them or whatever you want just give us money so we can capitalize on our own identities k thx
First look at Blumhouse’s ‘They/Them.’
It is described as a slasher horror set at an LGBTQIA+ conversion camp. As the camp’s methods become more unsettling, the campers must protect themselves. When a mysterious killer starts claiming victims, things get even more dangerous.
