" Most jobs in North Carolina prisons pay 40¢, 70¢, or $1 per day—so a streaming bundle could cost a prisoner two weeks’ worth of income, or more. We simply can’t afford the price of entertainment." Philip Vance Smith II, @FilmComment #longreads filmcomment.com/blog/streaming…

Lovely and insightful article on one of America's finest actors.

@FilmComment @BilgeEbiri @FilmLinc The smartest, most dead-on perfect movie star tribute I’ve ever read. @BilgeEbiri abides.
Jeff Bridges will return for ‘TRON ARES’ (Source: filmcomment.com/blog/the-film-…)
It is true. Listen to our conversation with @TheJeffBridges about all that (and a heck of a lot more!) here: filmcomment.com/blog/jeff-brid…

"The pseudo-political fuzziness is of little surprise. For many viewers, it’s perhaps a virtue and a relief. Who wants to go to the movies to talk about politics?" Leo Goldsmith reviews the discourse subject du jour, Alex Garland’s CIVIL WAR. filmcomment.com/blog/civil-war…
"Jeff Bridges has gone from having avoided a lot of iconic turns in the early period of his career to now having too many to count." @BilgeEbiri writes a lovely tribute to the decades-long career of Jeff Bridges, @FilmLinc's Chaplin Award honoree tonight. filmcomment.com/blog/jeff-brid…
For those seeking a really interesting read today, look no further than @FilmComment. This is a devestating article, but needs every single one of our #AlamoFilmClub and hell, even #FilmTwitter's eyes. READ Y'ALL: filmcomment.com/blog/streaming…
If you get the Film Comment newsletter today, you will find my essay paying tribute to one of my all-time favorite actors (and @FilmLinc's Chapin Awards recipient for this year), Jeff Bridges.

🎞️🌊Lineup, schedule & tickets for Prismatic Ground 2024 are here ~ May 8-12 @AnthologyFilm @DCTVny @lightindustry and online everywhere. Ft. premieres, restorations, parties, a major retrospective and live @FilmComment panel, expanded cinema, 16mm & more: prismaticground.com
As @FilmLinc honors @TheJeffBridges with their Chaplin Award on April 29, @devikagirgayi speaks to the Oscar-winning actor about his most iconic roles, the lasting influence of his parents, the television shows he currently enjoys watching, and more. filmcomment.com/blog/the-film-…
On this week's podcast, Deepa Dhanraj, the partner in life and work of late cinematographer Navroze Contractor, speaks with @devikagirgayi & Clinton Krute about the Director of Photography's extraordinary visual felicity with both documentary and fiction. filmcomment.com/blog/the-film-…
"Watching films has helped me make it through 22 years of a life-without-parole sentence in North Carolina." Incarcerated journalist Phillip Vance Smith II provides a glimpse into the lives of incarcerated people through the eyes of a movie lover. filmcomment.com/blog/streaming…
"Sometimes they pitch in commissary items to share the $8 fee. Regardless, we could have cheaper packages. Edovo could offer a better selection of films. Prison systems don’t have to exploit us." Phillip Vance Smith II for @FilmComment. filmcomment.com/blog/streaming…
Recommend Phillip Vance Smith II in @FilmComment about barriers to watching movies and TV in prison. Smith, incarcerated in NC, reported this story out … they’re voices from NY, NC and Calif. Tablets hold promise, but greed, censorship stand in the way. filmcomment.com/blog/streaming…
Ahead of our Film Comment Live: Tribute to Navroze Contractor event tonight at 6pm at @FilmLinc, Srikanth Srinivasan writes on the innovative cinematographer's truncated time at film school, his adventures as a still photographer in Mumbai, and much more. filmcomment.com/blog/collectiv…
Jeff Bridges, an American institution unto himself, will be honored on April 29 at @FilmLinc's annual Chaplin Award Gala. We’ll have more on him soon, but for now, read Michael Sragow’s 2016 column on Bridges’s standout performance in HELL OR HIGH WATER. filmcomment.com/blog/deep-focu…

@FilmComment @devikagirgayi I had the occasion to read at length from Adam's superb book when I had to teach "The Battle of Algiers" this week
Those, like me, who will read this book should also listen to what is an excellent podcast with the author. I can't wait to give this book a read. Anyone interested in Frantz Fanon should give a listen.
On this week's podcast, Adam Shatz, author of The REBEL'S CLINIC: THE REVOLUTIONARY LIVES OF FRANTZ FANON, speaks with @devikagirgayi & Clinton Krute about the late anticolonial theorist's interest in cinema and what exactly makes a movie “Fanonian.” filmcomment.com/blog/the-film-…
