"It’s funny to begin with, watching Pansy rant with no filter, sharing her negative thoughts on everything from baby clothes with pockets to sofa salespeople, but gradually we realise just how close to the edge she is" - we take a look at Mike Leigh's Hard Truths https://www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/review/hard-truths-2024-film-review-by-amber-wilkinson #LFF2024 #tiff2024 #NYFF62 #72SSIFF #film #cinema #movies

Film screening:
Sun, Oct 6, 2024

Part of #NYFF62 at #BAM and #BAMFilm2024

Directed by #BaselAdra, #HamdanBallal, #YuvalAbraham, #RachelSzor (2024)

"This eye-opening, vérité-style documentary, made by a #Palestinian-#Israeli collective of four directors over the course of five years, provides a harrowing account of the systematic onslaught of destruction experienced by Masafer Yatta, a group of Palestinian villages in the southern West Bank, at the hands of the Israeli military. Headed by Palestinian activist Basel Adra and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham (also two of the film’s directors), the collective commits itself to filming and protesting the demolitions of homes and schools and the resulting displacement of their inhabitants, which were carried out to make way for Israeli military training ground. In addition to the indelible footage of destruction and expulsion captured by its undaunted witnesses, No Other Land serves as a moving portrait of friendship between Adra and Abraham, who form a philosophical and political alliance despite the drastic differences in their abilities to exist freely in this world. Winner of the Panorama Audience Award for Best Documentary Film at the 2024 Berlinale."

Caught EEPHUS last night between postseason games and had a blast. Strips baseball to its studs and creates a hang movie that’s right there with EVERYBODY WANTS SOME!!

Reminds us how we’ll watch the game until it gets dark and then keep going for a few innings more. #NYFF62

"This is a tactile retelling, inviting us to imagine the sticky feel of Coca-Cola on hot skin in the sun or the heat of a sheepskin coat and the love that goes with it being passed from mum to daughter ahead of a trip abroad" - we take a look at Brazil's Oscar nominee I'm Still Here https://www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/review/im-still-here-2024-film-review-by-amber-wilkinson #TIFF2024 ##72SSIFF #NYFF62 #LFF2024
