Went to Terry Gilliam’s house to interview him for @BFI. The result of our 95-minute chat is this career interview, which clocks in at just under 5,000 words and is the longest single piece of written journalism I’ve had published in my career. bfi.org.uk/interviews/terry-…

The Animation at War season at @BarbicanCentre is expanding!
In October, we're screening József Gémes's medieval epic, HEROIC TIMES.
This is a glorious painted masterpiece of Hungarian animation, and to our knowledge this is the first time the film has been screened in the UK.

Labour are backtracking on a plan to help save birds: by blocking a new rule that would make developers put a £35 nest brick in every new home. They think it'll help win them votes - we need to show it would do the opposite. Sign the petition 38d.gs/9qg-

Not sure how that happened but last night I was named the British Society of Magazine Editors (@bsmeinfo) Editor of the Year for the 3rd year in a row 😱.
Very proud and all credit to my genius team @SightSoundmag for making me look good 🙏❤️ #BSMEAwards2024

“With her bold bone-structure and the curtain of her wheat-gold Jackie O coif, Gena Rowlands is the classic Hollywood icon that got away”

After nearly 2 years, we're back with a new miniseries... and a new pun title!
I love Richard Linklater's films, and I'm so glad that we've made space in the @ghibliotheque for this colourful corner of his filmography.
Isabel Stevens retweeted
Doesn't matter that it's sunny for this film, because the best way to watch is on a sultry evening, half-cut on whiskey cocktails, sweating into your dirty line suit. Get at it friends. Love, Love, Love this film.
