sunday pranks - robert gliński this got banned for a few years, not surprisingly. stalin dies, the kids innocently enact horrific authoritarian games whilst their parents are off performing social obligations. children are ghastly. with eng subs: https://35mm.online/en/vod/feature-films/sunday-plays...

just idle sunday browsing and discovered a filmmaker (from yorkshire) who isn't even on imdb, just relegated to 'amateur film' section of archives and if this one short is anything to go by, he should really have more presence than that. (he's on mubi at least) once described by Glenda Jackson as, “...

dickens was huge in 20's denmark - sandberg also did little dorrit, and his david copperfield even stars the same child actor that plays pip above... not sure i have the stomach for those yet, but am now daydreaming how nice a sandberg jane eyre or something would be... and i'm not sure matt berry s...

fary the donkey - mansour sora wade (1988) #CoMoSgal amusing little morality tale of some guy refusing all offers of marriage because they aren't as beautiful as his dream ideal. consequences ensue! https://i.imgur.com/6ypg2mF.png https://i.imgur.com/MqeRWQA.png https://i.imgur.com/klPAmVw.png https...

live your life smiling - pauline brunius (1921) https://www.filmarkivet.se/movies/lev-livet-leende/ this is one of the greatest silent comedies directed by a woman that i've seen....♥♥♥....full of subtle, sophisticated details... (as per rappaport, inversion of the vanity table) https://i.imgur.com/...

letter from my village - safi faye (1976) #CoMoSgal

not one review remarking on the female gaze operating here (also appreciated the shot centring his ass as he walked off)

oh i wanna see that... but inspired by the greenaway sea short of 1983, i watched O NAUFRÁGIO DO 'VERONESE' - 1913 http://www.cinemateca.pt/Cinemateca-Digital/Ficha.aspx?obraid=2637&type=Video rescue of a shipwreck 1913-style - the men keep their bowler hats on, intrusive paparazzi, one random w...

Oh very cool!

Yes!!! I'm so glad someone watched it love all those night diner shots, very atmospheric

Ha, I watched that the other day! (Didn't mean to, but got dragged in after watching a few mins )

Finkel is great. Is this the one where he says there's more tablet fragments than anyone can read? So many exciting things left to discover

in addition, was strongly reminded whilst watching the above film, of one i watched for the 83 poll - francis lee's ch'an streaming: https://lightcone.org/en/film-10343-ch-an https://i.imgur.com/We2mflq.png https://i.imgur.com/4coSwpL.png https://i.imgur.com/UIAL8uz.png https://i.imgur.com/y64e1H6.p...

the yellow slippers - sylwester chęciński (1961) never seen this mentioned but this is another one of those medieval films (here a children's movie) with fake sets (after medieval art....all bright nonsensical colours) can't grab screencaps from the 35mm.online site anymore so have to make do with t...

pair of geese nesting near me again...last year there was an egg but it never hatched, fingers crossed for this year!

betta the gypsy - charles raymond (1918) watch here: https://www.europeana.eu/en/item/08623/13025 seeming much more stuffier, more static, less sophisticated than the danish gypsy film made four years earlier, this (one of two british gypsy films made in 1918 - something something the war?) still ha...
