Rhayne Vermette's film Levers is available to watch for free online this month on Equinox Film. It's apocalyptic, enigmatic, and feels relevant to our current times yet somehow exists outside of time. Well worth seeing. equinox.film/film/levers/

“Film Twitter” should be interesting writing, four stills posts, download links, and best of lists. Most of the other nonsense that goes on here isn’t worthy of this much attention.

unpopular opinion but this is why art & cultural criticism is still important! Find a trusted guide and try out some new stuff, expand those horizons 😀
We’re in the golden age of being able to watch/read/listen to anything you want and some of you let algorithms decide for you

Get off Twitter ppl, and start writing. The system of German Idealism is not going to complete itself.

a lot of people replying to this seem to be totally unfamiliar with the notion that a film can fail in its attempts at commentary/circle around to succumbing to the very things its attempting to address
OBSESSION’s flamboyant misogyny is redeemed somewhat by its ending, which demonstrates an understanding that the manipulated woman was the true victim all along. Unfortunately the guy still gets off too easy

A major reason that it didn’t make sense to use AI to write an essay about a substantive topic is that until you write the essay you don’t actually know what you want to say or what you think. You think you do, but it is the writing itself that actually gets the thinking done.

very strange this account is now trying to claim the below is a "real monet painting," despite it being quite obviously a digital image file. i suppose an emotional investment in the idea that the map can supplant the territory is a prerequisite for conceiving this exercise, tho
i just generated an image in the style of a Monet painting using AI please describe, in as much detail as possible, what makes this inferior to a real Monet painting

we literally need to build an inverse art education model that begins with the now unintuitive fact that paintings are real objects that you look at in a room, they are not images you see on your phone.

I like to listen to ambient music when I write, but not everything works. It's gotta be sedate enough that it doesn't totally overtake my attention, but immersive enough that it's still blocking outside stimulus. I usually go with one of these.

I had the privilege of talking with Cameron Picton (@jet_furry) of @newbandbelieve yesterday. We talked about a lot: the acoustic guitar, the importance of communication, Judee Sill, Korean experimental film, live performance, the song form, working with caroline, and more ✨
"With an electric guitar you have 10 billion pedals you can use, you have amps and pickups. With an acoustic guitar it’s just a box with strings, so you end up developing different techniques to get interesting sounds." —Cameron Picton @misterminsoo talks with @newbandbelieve

Film programming is blind faith. Just inquired about a print to someone with a earthlink account.

In general, with a negative review, not recommending that you not see the movie but that you not enjoy it.
