I got to see 4 retrospective screenings @tsplusf this year Orlacs Hands (1924) Neverending Story (1984) Little Shop Of Horrors (1960) Them! (1954) Love seeing old movies on a big screen, but Little Shop was by far the standout, just a joy to watch 🥰

@tsplusf today Flow was a beautiful magical ride for all ages, even if I was baffled by what was going on. The Boy & His Robot is ambitious in every way, the effects work, and the plot serves its purpose. This is a passion for the director, but those jokes tho are not my funny!

Choose your cinema for @tsplusf - you could be in the theatrical splendour of @elpoliteama, and UK’s @joannemitchellb certainly enjoyed herself there with #brokenbird @alanfrightfest #festivals #Trieste #fantasyfilms #cinemas #welovefilm

Your alternative cinema choice for @tsplusf is on the waterfront in the funky fringe vibe of @TeatroMiela #festivsls #fantasyfilms @alanfrightfest #cinemas @trieste #sharingstories #welovefilm

How could you have a fantasy festival without your very own sci-fi dome, and this one materialised in central #Trieste for all the family to enjoy @tsplusf #interactive #immersiveevents #talks @alanfrightfest #festivals #morethanjustfilm @CloutComCoUk @Strike_Media

Parvulos @FrightFest 7.1/10 First two acts entertaining but 3rd act could have been trimmed. Was different enough to stand out in the genre #FF24 #FrightFest5

Heading home after watching two films at @FrightFest Halloween 🎃 MAGPIE was a slow burner of a thriller that slows cranks up the tension to a finale that will leave you speechless. PARVULOS a different look at the zombie film that’s also incredibly bleak.

Absolutely adored this amazing film, I have never played GTA but it was fascinating to see how the whole affair took shape and brought people together. Thanks @tsplusf for screening this gem!

All set for day 2 of @FrightFest Halloween. A big 6 film day, all sounding interesting. The Bitter Taste I won't be able to list in my stats as its not on @letterboxd ! If I'm 1 short of my target this year, I'll know who to blame!🤣
