Am 16.9. ist es ein Jahr her, dass #MahsaAmini von der Polizei im #Iran ermordet wurde. Ihr “Verbrechen" bestand darin, dass sie den Hijab nicht korrekt getragen hat. Seitdem gibt es im Iran unter dem Motto #FrauLebenFreiheit Proteste, die allerdings vom Regime brutal unterdrückt werden.

Das #Filmforum #Duisburg zeigt am Do, 14.9. um 18.00 Uhr den #Film Sieben Winter in Teheran, der sich mit den Repressionen des iranischen Regimes befasst.

Piotr Orlov wrote a really thoughtful, smart and personal essay in his #DadaStrain #substack about Sam Green’s documentary 32 Sounds, which was co-commissioned in its performance version by @TheArtsCenterNYUAbuDhabi. It’s finally having its film version release on NY this week at #FilmForum. Don’t miss it.

#NYC - Sam Green’s film 32 Sounds, with music by Le Tigre’s JD Samson, is truly special. @TheArtsCenterNYUAbuDhabi co-commissioned the performance version. Now it’s having a slightly more traditional theatrical release at #FilmForum. Some live mix headphones only screenings. And some great post screening Q&As. Run don’t walk. https://filmforum.org/film/32-sounds

THE CONFORMIST (’70) on a big restoration/revival run lately, back at NYC’s #FilmForum “by popular demand”. Had to see what the fuss was about. Very gripping story of Italian man desperate to repress his true self by fitting in, and since this is late-30s Europe, he goes full fascist. Just gorgeous to look at, exquisitely staged and filmed. Excellent performances from Trintignant, Sandrelli, and Sanda, the latter two wonderful in very erotic bedroom scene, their dance together. #70sfilms

See this film! If you are in NYC run to Film Forum in lower Manhattan and see this Baldwin documentary before it leaves this week. (Hopefully it will be extended.)

Oh, my God. This film! These films. These three shorts are without a doubt the best vision into the man and his political and cultural acuity I've experienced. Yes, more so than even "I Am Not Your Negro".

What a powerful spirit.
