Love the illustrated title cards for David Lean’s Summertime, which I’ll be running on Friday for the film matinee to kick off a Katharine Hepburn celebration at @brattletheatre.bsky.social!

Couldn’t find the artist to credit, unfortunately.

I can't raise a red enough flag for the way states are attacking trans people in this moment. It is extremely bad, and escalating quickly (and relatively quietly)

New England Premiere! Filmmaker in Person! Inspired by her own experiences with a uterus gone rogue, director Brooke H. Cellars taps into the fear, shame, and uncertainty that force many to suffer through their gynecological woes in silence.

That’s great, I didn’t catch the show too much as a kid but I’m sure I would’ve loved it! I got into them more as a teen and no one else my age was into them so it didn’t even need to be a guilty pleasure haha, like there was no one to make fun of it by then

I get that actually - it's a very "lived in" kinda space. Lots of objects and decorations that have accumulated over decades, added by various projectionists, many personal touches. I find all that very comforting

Periodically local journalism or media students decide to make a documentary relating to arthouse theaters or film projection, so today I was interviewed very fancily by two enthusiastic Northeastern students. I appreciate that their lighting hides how red/pink I typically am haha
