  • The entirety of LOLA's 5th issue is now online and features outstanding articles on Claude Lanzmann, Pauline Kael, and "The Cahiers/Positif Dialectic".
  • In The New Inquiry, Nadia Awad writes on the history of "Palestinian image-making":

"Early Palestinian cinema and its consequent visual culture sought to give, to the world, an image of Palestinian life that Palestinians themselves could recognize. These Palestinian filmmakers provided a vital, immediate response to geopolitical conversations that deliberately did not address them—a defining feature of Palestinian image-making."

  • Above: the trailer for the Film Society of Lincoln Center's series on Walerian Borowczyk.
  • Finally, we're thankful for this.
