Enjoyed our episode on WANDA? Check out @cinemiasma.bsky.social’s BFI Classics monograph on the film for more of her incredible insights and analysis

Brilliant. Can a cinema host me to extend this genius premise to present / intro WANDA and EL GOLFO? And for my reading of Wanda as paragon of sleeping in the cinema and the exhausted spectator, read my essay in S Jhaveri’s gorgeous collection NIGHT FEVER.

Yes, my understanding for this call is that a PhD is required. You can feel free to contact Head of Department, email in link. (I'm not on the search committee for this one.)

👆And to clarify for non-UK applicants, Lecturer is equivalent to Assistant Professor rank in UK HE. This is for an indefinite contract, ie. NOT fixed term. Feel free to contact Head of Department Professor Jinhee Choi if you have questions (contact in link).

thanks so much, this is all good to know! the pink issue seems consistent with several other prints we've looked at.

yes the print looks fantastic!

Ugh so sorry to hear this Shannan.

amazing!

Yes I would love to know what the condition is of these two prints. All the versions we have seen thus far have been very beat up. Would be great to know of more print sources for an ongoing project towards restoration of Loden's (and possibly Silver's) 16mm LCA shorts.

Wish you could have been there Shelley! ❤️

Thanks so much for coming Elizabeth and great to meet you!
