The final installment of the greatest documentary ever made. A piece of filmmaking intended to show the power of the British class system over time expanded to tackle the question of how we live and process our lives. It's extraordinary.

NYC is the greatest city on earth. You can watch the most important films in history on any day of the week, often for free. Not enough people talk about this because they're kinda hard to find! So I fabled a site that has all the independent film screenings in NYC on any day, all in one place: whatsplaying.nyc It's sortable by year, director, theater, 35mm/70mm, etc. and includes every indy theater + free screenings in the parks, museums, etc. I was reminded this needed to exist by the Feed Me newsletter last week, thanks @Emily_Sundberg My hope is that people find art that speaks to them 💫

If only major news outlets were willing to so publicly acknowledge they are following reporting from small outlets as they are other big competitors.
