Tomorrow (7/27, 5pm) @movingimagenyc: Tom Gunning will join live by Zoom to talk with Giuseppe Boccassini and me, after a screening of the remarkable RAGTAG, an avant-garde wonder made with footage from 300+ film noirs. movingimage.org/event/ragtag/
Glad to revisit OFFSIDE (2006), one of my favorite Panahi films, for @ScreenSlate, and how its satire has remained relevant. screenslate.com/articles/offsi…
Thrilled to team up again with Tom Gunning (via live video), next Sunday for this avant-garde show at my favorite museum, @MovingImageNYC movingimage.org/event/ragtag/.
Not to speak for John but hell yeah.
Will there be future events?
Happy to keep alive a tradition started by @eshynes at @MovingImageNYC two years ago. Very glad to include a tribute to Bill Webb as part of an amazing evening. And glad that @JohnDeMarsico is back in the truck tonight. Tune in!
The #BaseballisCinema crew SHOWED UP at @MovingImageNYC! This is truly one of my favorite nights of the year and getting to meet so many of you was a thrill. Your enthusiasm ignites my passion for this stuff. Thank you.
Really fun mix of films, @yasminatawil; happy to see Larry Cohen's Phone Booth in the mix.
This week I got to chat with @DaveCoIon at @TheNY_Groove about my upcoming NYC 2000's program, which starts tomorrow at @BAMfilmBrooklyn! We talked early aughts nostalgia and some of the smaller gems of the series. nygroove.nyc/aughts-cinema-…
If this great @screenslate piece (with a surprise Mitt Romney reference) doesn't get you to @MoMAFilm tonight, I'm not sure what more it could take. screenslate.com/articles/ameri…
Favorite comic superhero of the summer: film projectionist Carolyn Funk. Fun Washington Post piece, delightully illustrayted! wapo.st/4nFfKrg
the universe's only known 35mm print of Arizal's AMERICAN HUNTER (1988) has arrived and it is *immaculate*. Don't miss this rare chance to catch it at MoMA thurs/fri, as Spectacle closes out the genius "A Theater Near You" series curated by @davidpschwartz moma.org/calendar/event…
Godard's Numero Deux @MoMAFilm tonight at 7pm. It played in 1977 at the Bleecker Street Cinema, as part of a Cahiers week programmed by Serge Daney. @tnyfrontrow told me he was at that screening! Read J. Hoberman's rave review from 1981: drive.google.com/file/d/16NVOVR…
Since I left Netflix, their stock has gone from 330 to 1,290 per share. Investors…you’re welcome!
Been missing Flo Jacobs. Amy Taubin's interview, "Flo Talks!" is the best thing I've ever read about her, so with Amy's OK, I'm posting it here: david-schwartz.net/blog/flo-talks…
Jonas Mekas on Ken Jacobs' Star Spangled to Death: "This is all the America we live in, our home, the official America of the 20th century, here it is on the plate, so eat it and then vomit it all out...I live in another America, the America of my dreams." brooklynrail.org/2004/07/film/s…
Can Flash Gordon conquer the universe with this thing? Find out today @MoMAFilm moma.org/calendar/event…
The year's most action-packed film program unspools @MoMAFilm tomorrow with The American Serial: 1914-1944, a five hour marathon of chapters from 15 serials, presented by Light Industry. There will be a beginning, an end, and a lot of exciting middles. moma.org/calendar/event…

The only episodes of Nic Rapold's great podcast that I refuse to listen to are the ones I'm on. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-…
If you're not coming to MoMA today, it better be because you're at @movingimagenyc seeing @reverse_shot discussing Tea and Sympathy at 3:30 and buying his great new book Sick and Dirty. movingimage.org/event/tea-and-…
It's @MovingImageNYC at @MoMAFilm day in A Theater Near You, (aka solipsistic Sunday) as I introduce Cronenberg's VIDEODROME at 1:00 (along with his delightful 1976 short THE ITALIAN MACHINE), and Akerman's neglected 2011 gem ALMAYER'S FOLLY at 4:00. moma.org/calendar/film/…
