There is no greater pleasure in my life than a wee cry at the cinema. @thefawz blew me away when I saw her at the CCA in 2017 and she’s only bloody gone and done it again.

In this week's @TheTLS, I reviewed 'The Queen of My Dreams' by @thefawz – funny, poignant & profound without getting heavy handed. Go see this fantastic film. Jolted right back by the qawwali music to 9yo me who lived in Islamabad for 1 all-too-short year the-tls.co.uk/arts/film/the-…

“I’m an artist and refuse to be silent. Ceasefire now!” says QUEEN OF MY DREAMS’ Amrit Kaur, winner of #CdnScreenAward for Best Lead Performance. First onstage so far to mention “genocide,” tho winners for BRIA MACK GETS A LIFE and DRAG RACE mentioned “Gaza” & “ceasefire.”

This is so petty of you @VanityFair
Australian actor Guy Pearce showed solidarity with the ppl of Palestine at Cannes by wearing a pin featuring the Palestinian flag. However, Vanity Fair Magazine photoshopped his photos to remove the Palestinian flag.
