“It’s all about bridging the gap, about humanizing stories and allowing people to feel connected with people that they feel at odds with, that they feel different from, maybe a little bit afraid of as well.”
Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd; really, you should.
The New Moon in Libra rose on Monday October 8th, and this astrologer was busy eating turkey. If you look up, the Moon is a satisfying white slice, waxing towards a Full Moon in Taurus later this month. Libra season is about thinking through both sides of the argument, weighing your options, and trusting your own judgement. When the New Moon passes through the sign, those principals apply to your inner world, your ability to care for others, and your willingness to share your emotions.
His brain is “a puddle with a reflection of a TV on the surface.” A direct result of, lately, “too much TV-series binge-watching”, Angus Ferguson tells me. He’s been painting all day, and curbing the anxiety he feels when he’s not. He’s listening to Wichita Lineman by Glen Campbell and feeling nostalgic. But nostalgia fuels him, for he sifts through old books and sketches when searching for creative inspiration. It sounds like he’s got plenty of inspiration—for if he could be doing anything right now, he’d be “making better work.”
Slam poets are not simply poets—nor are they simply performers—and the Beyond Words series pursues this with tangible earnestness; it’s up to you to let it work on you.
While Testosterone is a celebration of masculinity, it is also a critique of when masculinity becomes toxic. It is powerful, and it feels personal.
Watching the manoeuvring of two smart and cunning women as they attempt to sway a petulant, volatile ruler is akin to watching someone walk a tightrope: thrilling and always on the cusp of disaster.
‘Cain and Abel’ is a brave expedition into the thick forest of biblical metaphor, lesson, history, and critique. It certainly leaves you thinking, but also slightly confused by what the creators are trying to say.
“If two different communities come together over a cup of chai and have a good conversation, that is Diwali.”
“A journey through decolonization, and into Indigenous Futurism, where the land’s future is a cyclic return to its past […] The experience was eight minutes long, and yet its imagining of a different future and the poignancy of the message had an effect that many could not have if they took hours.”
“Their notes fade in and out of the collective voice like waves…as the three perform, it is evident that they are unique parts of an allied whole: all front women and equally backing band.”
The horrors of ANTHROPOCENE are very real, but so are the glimmers of hope. We are, as the filmmakers insist, all implicated, but we are also capable of enacting positive change.
The Museum of Forgotten Triumphs is both sharply specific to the Bosnian experience and universal in its themes, making it impressively versatile and a necessary film to watch. Something in the film will speak to you.
“I got really into the idea of witnessing what landscape can tell us about human history, and how people have utilized, abused, or taken the land they live on for granted.”
While EULOGY certainly gestures towards the past, each piece of this collection is decidedly of the moment, seasonless, and eternally cool.
