A wide-ranging program showed Japan’s strength beyond the awards tally at the 30th edition of the Busan International Film Festival. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025/10/04/film/busan-film-festival-japanese-films/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #film #busaninternationalfilmfestival #southkorea #filmfestivals
Comfortably ensconced in one of my favourite places, the Filmhouse café-bar. I have book, beer, and then the documentary screening of Fedayin (with q&a after) shortly.
This is how days off should be...

Since its start, Busan International Film Festival has championed Asian cinema. In 2025, it went even bigger: a new Competition section, 90 world premieres and big-name guests. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025/10/02/film/busan-international-film-festival/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #film #busaninternationalfilmfestival #southkorea #filmfestivals
Yakuza and flowers intertwine in "The Last Blossom," a story of second chances and quiet tenderness. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025/10/02/film/the-last-blossom/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #film #anime #japanesefilm #bakukinoshita #kazuyakonomoto

It's #Kaijuktober! And to celebrate it I'm watching a #kaiju #movie every day.
Today's movie was: Godzilla / ゴジラ (1954)
I didn't expect this #film to be as well-written as it was. All I expected was "big mad dinosaur destroys Tokyo", I got that and so much more!
From military worship to the consequences of scientific progress, this movie has it all.
I give it 4/5 Kaiju

Why Fail Safe Matters Now
Full film Fail Safe (1964) is a cultural mirror, from another age, that helps us think about the next ten years of mess. With technical systems out of human control. The film’s malfunctioning machines map directly onto today’s algorithmic governance (#dotcons, #AI, automated warfare). Once the chain starts, humans can’t pull back.
Leadership under impossible pressure. Henry Fonda’s president embodies the loneliness of decision-making when systems collapse. Compare that to our current […]
#photography question
In the 90's I studied photography; B&W and color #film. These days I use a digital camera or my phone. I now have a habit of stopping down if I want to increase the contrast of the photo.
Is this a feature of digital cameras or did we do that with film too? I don't remember and I am curious.
Sirât, no spoliers
Very well made, especially impressed with the new age travellers (non-pro-actors i assume) but I did not like it at all.

With many people cancelling their streaming services, we want to point out that many of the films in our library stream for free!
They may be on free platforms like Kanopy, or the filmmakers may put them on YouTube or Vimeo. Some filmmakers also offer special free educational licenses or even packages.
The educational game in our collection called "Walden, a game", also offers a free version to educators.
How to find our free films
1. Check out the films in our resource library.
2. Look for viewing details in the "Where to Watch" section of a film's page.
3. If that takes you to a link on JustWatch.com, make sure to adjust the site to your own country settings for local results.
If you have questions about our films and film guides, please ask! We're here to help and we love connecting people with great films and teaching tools. 1/2

Telling. Quantity of male versus female dialogue in best picture films of recent decades
(by @puddingviz)
@infobeautiful as a #woman #actor, I would be interested to see these #film data in relation to their director and screenwriter gender identities. 📊
