  • Arab picks from LFF 2025

    Aside from our recently reviewed Palestine 36, the BFI London Film Festival marked the festival run tailend for a number of films from the Arab world. Highlights include Erige Sehiri’s Promised Sky, the result of five directors’ efforts to piece together a heartfelt tribute to the Sudanese... continue
  • Palestine 36 - Harrowing and all too rare retelling of the...

    Palestinian cinema is distinctly prolific. The more efforts are made to erase Palestinians as a people and Palestine as a slice of West Asian land, the more urgent the storytelling becomes. 2025 has already seen a number of much hyped premieres and releases, but the novelty this year seems to be... continue
  • In Vermiglio, the cold bites but it also keeps you alive.

    1944. Wartime Italy. Icebound village. Maura Delpero’s Vermiglio (2025) is truly an exquisite winner of the Venice Film Festival’s Grand Jury. The slow-burn family saga unspools the glimpses of joy swallowed by the void of war. It has the essence of a memoir with the period film rooted in the... continue

The film argues that complex processes of internalised racism and alienation have arisen as a result of the media, cosmetic, health and fashion industries which idolise the white Barbie doll and are intent on helping Black women to become more like her. (…) Continue Reading »

Court de la semaine - The River de Sam Handel

par Lucile Bourliaud
Enfin ! Voilà un court métrage qui évite l’écueil irritant du concept tenant lieu de scénario. The River est un film charmant et bavard, qui se prélasse dans la chaleur suffocante de l’été et n’est pas pressé d’arriver à destination. Ce qui n’est pas le cas de sa protagoniste, Maria, qui n’a qu’une obsession : aller au bord de la rivière. « Il faut que j’aille me baigner » crie-t-elle à son (…) Lire la suite »

Saturday Short - Sam Handel’s The River

by Jack Wormell
At last! A cracking short film that refrains from an irritatingly tidy conceit as if it’s a reasonable substitute for substance; The River is a mouthy, charming film that basks in the hot dry sun (‘Goddamnit it’s hot!’) and is in no hurry to get anywhere. Apart from its main character – Maria – who is desperate to get to The River - ‘I got to get in that river!!!’ she cries at her boss, (…) Continue Reading »

by Abla Kandalaft
How was the festival started? [Queer Mutiny North->http://queermutinynorth.wordpress.com put on the first two festivals. They are a DIY collective that organises lots of events as an alternative to the mainstream gay scene and this is something that was continued by other people.

Life Is Slight: Boyhood by Richard Linklater

by Jack Wormell
Although I was planning to see Double Play, a potentially interesting documentary about the friendship between film directors Richard Linklater and James Benning, the former a long-standing darling of American semi-indie who flirts with Hollywood (The School of Rock), the other a firm outsider of the mainstream who makes feature length, non-narrative landscape films, it was cancelled. So (…) Continue Reading »
