"I don't identify as a woman. I identify as a non-binary person. Using the correct pronouns for non-binary people is as political as Gyanesh Kumar's resignation is for me," said student activist Neha Bora, objecting to the media incorrectly addressing them using she/her pronouns.

IMO this and other write-ups in independent media on the insane censorship this regime is on and its encroachment of private art spaces including film festivals are important documentations of the fascist rule we live under. Will be historically relevant

The Cinematograph Act really needs to go. Its surprising to me that no opposition manifesto ever contains this, along with a complete reform of CBFC given how its weaponized to support ruling govt
Censorship is at brutal levels.
Good stuff by @LunkyFallow

it makes me so SAD when I see left/progressive folks making AI generated posters for movement work. ily but a white background with words on it will be better than any AI generated slop that people will just scroll past I promise. please stop, canva is easy as hell and free.
Also Fuck AI. And it is the goddamn need of the hour that filmmakers disclose any use of Gen AI in their films. When I pay to watch a film in the theatres I do not want to see a single fucking frame of it on the big screen.
Every character is designed from a pov of “oh it would be so cool to have character like this” with no layers to them. They felt like the same note of music played again and again that they became grating for me even though I liked how they started and were introduced.
This for me is the very essence of what filmmaking and cinema is.
A lot of filmmakers while adept at the distraction aspect of the magic trick they forget/ignore that they have to pull on that metaphorical rug to leave your audience with something tangible they can take home.

🧵 about “Scene” and a theory I’ve long held regarding cinema.
Cinema as a medium for me has always been a kin to a magician’s act. The magician/filmmaker distracts you by saying hey look at this cool shit over here and quietly pulls the rug under you the audience.
