NEW: A group of Hollywood execs are running a smear campaign against "The Voice of Hind Rajab" to stop it from winning an Oscar.
The group has ties to the Israeli government & received support from foundations of Russian oligarch Len Blavatnik & Casey Wasserman (both featured in the Epstein Files).
Oscar nominated co-writer of It Was Just An Accident has just been arrested in Iran. Statement by Jafar Panahi:

For this week’s Silents Sundays I wrote about when HUAC came for Charlie Chaplin after he spoke up about fascism.
My last two shots before my world went dark.
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
Want to help folks being terrorized by ICE in Minnesota? Well look at this google doc someone made. Lots of GoFundMe's that haven't met their goals yet. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims.
Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...
If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!
Locking down your phone, being mindful of what you're wearing, and coming up with plans to communicate with others are all key steps to take before attending a protest. ssd.eff.org/module/atte...

Director Park Chan-wook takes us through his filmography, from breakout hit Joint Security Area to diabolical new thriller No Other Choice 🎥 Watch the full interview: boxd.it/ec6
No Other Choice is in select US theaters now and expanding in January 2026.
The world’s largest streaming company swallowing one of its biggest competitors is what antitrust laws were designed to prevent. The outcome would eliminate jobs, push down wages, worsen conditions for all entertainment workers, raise prices for consumers, and reduce the volume and diversity of content for all viewers. Industry workers along with the public are already impacted by only a few powerful companies maintaining tight control over what consumers can watch on television, on streaming, and in theaters. This merger must be blocked.

Happy Halloween to all of our fans! 👻
We hope you've had as much fun putting together your costumes as Ellie and Riley did.
From PERSONA (Ingmar Bergman, 1966), a hand reaches out over a large image of a woman’s face. The stylized text on the bottom right corner reads, “INGMAR BERGMAN’S CINEMA”.
A one-sheet listing all the films and features included in the box set.
Just received my copy of Criterion’s Ingmar Bergman’s Cinema box set from last week’s @criterion.bsky.social flash sale. This thing is hefty with 30 Blu-ray discs containing 39 films and a book of essays. Really excited to dive into this one.
Reminder to disable biometrics on your phone before attending any protests. If police ask for the passcode, you do not have to provide it.
An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below: 1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. 2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation … 3. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people. 4. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners … 5. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice … 6. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices … 7. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. 8. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. 9. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. 10. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: 11. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: 12. For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit … 13. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: 14. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: 15. For depriving us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury: 16. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: 17. For … abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: 18. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. 19. He has … destroyed the lives of our people. 20. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us …
The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.
Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow.

Really excited for this. Recently read the novel by Maggie O’Farrell and loved it. Also, Łucasz Żal’s cinematography has always been incredible. Great team with Chloé Zhao directing.
Filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie on what writers have that #AI doesn’t: “Empathy. When you have empathy for the audience, when you can be the audience, that’s where the real process of filmmaking begins.”

Atsu (based on Erika Ishii from Ghost of Yōtei) and Ellie (from The Last of Us Part 2) sit on a cliff, making music. Atsu plays a shamisen and Ellie the guitar. A large wolf lies relaxed between them, eyes closed, one ear turned toward Ellie. A huge iconic mountain lies in the background, and yellow-orange ginkgo tree leaves swirl. The entirely hand-drawn, digital illustration looks like an ink work and is entirely in black and white; only the leaves and the kintsugi-repaired mask on Atsu's belt are yellow-orange.
I really enjoyed working on this image! Congratulations @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social and @erikaishii.bsky.social on the release of Ghost of Yōtei! 🧡
It looks stunning, and I can't wait to play it myself!
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them..."

Ink sketch inside the Kickstarter exclusive The First of Us artbook. It's a portrait of Ellie from The Last of Us Part 2, partly in shadow.
Wip shot, with my hand holding a brush, leaning over the ink sketch.
Detail shot, focus on the eye.
Small ink sketch inside a The First of Us book for an awesome comic artist with whom I'm planning an art swap. I'm hyped about that. 😊
Felt good to work with ink again after such a long time.
Happy #TheLastOfUsDay! ❤️
Y'all gotta cool it with the "the average movie/TV show from the 1980's has better cinematography than the average movie/TV show from today" jibber jabber. That ain't true at all.
happy first day of fall 🍂
It’s their day today 🎶🕺🏻
Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”.
They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left.
This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up.

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.
