Extraordinary fragments of Koelz's 1930s 'Thou Shalt Not Kill' @leicestermuseum and the photo of the initial triptych reminded me of the striking rediscovered scene from the Friedrich Ermler's masterpiece, 1929 film 'Fragment of an Empire' which followed Grosz's drawing

Delighted that my article on Hutsul folk culture and Ukrainian identity in Soviet film after the Soviet annexation of eastern Poland (1939-41) is now available open access in 'Studies in Russian and Soviet Cinema'! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Elusive, self-contained and repetetive, Philip Sotnychenko's crime drama LA PALISIADA is a gripping study of a vicious cycle of violence permeating the matter of troubled the 90's Ukraine. Mind-blowing evocative production design and masterful cinematography @Klassiki_Online

The event is today! Very excited to have an opportunity to share the material I’ve been working on in my PhD @UCLSSEES on early Soviet projects of teaching history through film about the ‘world revolution’

Despite the wind and the rain, people keep on coming to the memorial opposite the Russian Embassy in London to lay flowers to commemorate Aleksei Navalny. That’s the least I could do too to accept this loss

Can you name another filmmaker whose films are as gentle, tender, kind and thoughtful, but also stylish and cinematically beautiful as Aki Kaurismäki's? Can't stop (re)watching his works on @mubiuk after seeing his 'Fallen leaves' at the cinema in Dec mubi.com/en/cast/aki-ka…

Really enjoyed Sybilla Tuxen's doc 'Silent Sun of Russia' @Klassiki_Online, an intimate & poignant portrait of three young girls whose lives, seen from 2018 to 2022 show an alternative, hidden side of todays Russia and its future films.klassiki.online/silent-sun-of-….

Parajanov's striking study of the 19th c. Georgian artist, 'the Rafael of Tiflis', glides the surfaces of his paintings and makes another step towards iconic style of the filmmaker. A gem of a film, 'Hakob Hovnatanyan' @Klassiki_Online films.klassiki.online/hakob-hovnatan…

The first and only (?) time I met the fascinating Lev Rubinstein in person was during my year of cultural journalism course in ‘proarte’ when he came to just talk to us and read some of his hypnotising revelatory poems from catalogue cards. I can’t believe he’s no longer among us

Festive season is on the roll, and even though only a few days remain until the start of the working week, there’s always time for outstanding Ukrainian classics by Dovzhenko and Paradzhanov or great recents by young Ukrainian directors. Available on @Klassiki_Online :

#TheBoyandtheHeron was probably my first Miyazaki on big screen, and I’m so happy I watched it in the cinema. Poignant, lyrical and absolutely magical self-reflexive story of inevitable losses, choices and farewells.

On my first reading through Powell’s autobiography it turned out that he met Diaghilev during his regular Easter holidays in Monte Carlo (clearly in the 1920s) and got terribly bored watching Eisenstein’s ‘Alexander Nevsky’ (August 1937)

Modestly sized but very exciting 'Beyond the Mirror' guides through the fragments of a long production history of the iconic 'Red shoes'. It opens with the story of Moira Shearer, explores the sketches by Heckroth and Buddies and closes with Powell's generous reply to Kate Bush.
