I just finished The Librarians. What a fun series! I loved the episodic nature of the show and the whole premise is awesome. Yes, we do all need “The Library”. Really, all the libraries! May we never forget the value of curiosity and learning.
This is a honest question, was listening to The Flop House (great podcast) which has two #WGA members in it and a side comment about streaming services are not good for their industry, I get that, but one recommended watching through your library services (in this case #Hoopla & #Kanopy). Honest question do they get residuals through those services?
#NowWatching "For a Few Dollars More" (1965, Sergio Leone) as it's leaving #Kanopy this month, rated 8.2 on IMDB, and the music is conducted by Bruno Nicolai.
If you're not aware of #kanopy it may be worth your while to become so.

@loopednetwork re: "Jacob's Ladder"
the 1990 version (Tim Robbins) is on #Kanopy;
edit: according to #JustWatch, but that didn't hold true for my Kanopy account :(
the 2019 version (Michael Ealy) is on #Hoopla;
both #streaming services are free to many #library card holders.

Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World
...brings to light the overlooked influence of Indigenous people on popular music in North America. Talkin' 'bout Link Wray, Jimi Hendrix, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Taboo (The Black Eyed Peas), Charley Patton, Mildred Bailey, Jesse Ed Davis, Robbie Robertson, and Randy Castillo,
Winner of a Special Jury Award for Masterful Storytelling at the Sundance Film Festival and Best Documentary at Hot Docs.
PETITE MAMAN (2021): Proof that the art of the sub-75 minute film isn’t dead. A simple, beautiful meditation on grief, told through a fantasy story of a young girl making friends with her own mother as a child. There’s a couple just bowl-you-over incredible lines, and that moment where- after almost no music- a huge score swells is quite moving. Available on #Kanopy and absolutely worth the (not substantial) time investment. (And coming to #Criterion on disc in May too!)
i know i am very late to the party but i just finally joined #Kanopy last night.
I have only just recently heard of the #French Nobel laureate, #AnnieErnaux. I have yet to read her work but I came across a 2022 #film, THE SUPER 8 YEARS. (Trailer below)
Blurb: "A natural extension of her literary work in its form and content, The Super 8 Years shows the pastimes, lifestyle and aspirations of a social class in post-1960s France through the lens of the Ernaux family archive."
Frankly, I love this kind of filmmaking.
I found it on #Kanopy

I just watched a #PBS #documentary on Benito #Mussolini. It traces the history and tactics of Mussolini as he invented #fascism and grew his #fascist party to rule over #Italy.
Excellent. Well made.
Blurb: "See why Benito Mussolini was considered a pioneer among 20th century dictators. From undermining judges to indoctrinating children, he forged key tactics for seizing power. He also created fascism, an ideology that would plunge Europe into darkness."
You can find it streaming on #Kanopy

@MargaretSefton @Esoteria @Apocryphiliac @MevsMatze @YayForThat @theoddprophet Speaking of sucking the joy out of cooking, Boiling Point (2020) is a little slice of dramatic heaven, but with lots of anti-depressants and some aderall mixed in. It’s about working in the field of fine dining.
You can stream it on #Kanopy with most US public library cards.
Are you familiar with #Kanopy?
If you have a public library account you likely can access this movie streaming site for free. It's a great resource for hard to find films and series, including tons of documentaries and educational film/series.
