“#JamesGray is the last great #novelist of #American #cinema,” said #GionaANazzaro, #Locarno’s artistic director. “His #films form a rich body of work that echoes the #Jewish #diaspora, #filmnoir, and #Russian as well as #NorthAmerican #literature. A #filmmaker with a humanist sensibility and profound #cinephile knowledge, he has experimented with genres such as #sciencefiction and adventure while retaining his own #artistic identity and voice. Celebrating James #Gray at the Locarno #Film Festival means paying tribute to a unique and unmistakable #artist, a filmmaker who speaks the language of #cinema and knows how to pass it on to future generations.”

A Page of Madness (狂った一頁, 1926) – Dir. Teinosuke Kinugasa

Thought lost for decades, this silent film is a triumph of pure visual storytelling. Rejecting intertitles entirely, it uses frantic editing and expressionistic lighting to create a hypnotic, avant-garde experience. A brilliant achievement that feels incredibly modern and ahead of its time.

Two cinephiles, one frustration: every tracker feels dated, costs more than the streaming services it tracks, or stopped listening.

Not a streaming service. Not a piracy tool.

Private Alpha registration is open. 50 to 200 spots.

Love high-quality cinema but tired of the big streaming giants?

I'm really enjoying Japanese Film Festival Online (JFF+): I watched a couple of good #movies and #docs this week. 🇯🇵

Well: the web is probably full of "hidden digital cinematheques" run by cultural institutes and archives that offer #free, legal #streaming.

Here’s a list of gems to feed your cinephile soul this weekend.

When a Christmas movie kidnaps its own heroine to teach her a lesson she never needed, the real Scrooge might just be the genre itself.

Salome (2025) buys into the persistent idea that for a classic text to resonate with modern audiences, it must be given a trendy makeover. If that were true, why didn’t Oscar Wilde set his one-act tragedy about Herod Antipas’ stepdaughter in the late 1800s?
