Eastern European cinema scholar and restorator Daniel Bird writes about The Screen of the Sky and Polia & Blastema for Animus Magazine, a new cinematic journal that pushes film journalism and criticism away from being merely in the service of studio marketing campaigns and softball/neutral reviews.

E. Elias Merhige activates the largest screen I have ever seen, The Screen of the Sky at The Brussels Planetarium on 26 March 2023. A night of his cinematic works including the opera Polia & Blastema, in a night of Cosmic Transfiguration. This was the closing ceremony to the 16th Offscreen Film Festival, one of the most fantastic genre festivals that exists.
