Shudder has just added An Taibhse (The Ghost) to its lineup! The first Irish-language horror film is now available to stream.

I think it was Japanese. They get all the parents of the different kids together in a room and they get to take turns torturing them in the other room with weapon of choice.

🎬 Weekend Watch: Making Peace

This week, I put together three short films that ended up sharing something I didn't initially expect.

They’re all about people going through difficult moments: a dream that didn't work out, a life that feels confining, or a situation that could have ended much worse.

But none of these films is really about staying in that moment.

They're about finding a way to make peace with what happened and keep going.

🎬 Disco Obu — Anand Kishore

🏆 Winner: Special Jury Mention Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival 2017

Official Selection Palm Springs International ShortFest 2017

A former child actor who once had a chance at the life he dreamed of now drives an auto-rickshaw.

This is my favorite of the three.

What stayed with me is how quietly the film deals with letting go.

🌾 The Field — Sandhya Suri

🏆 Winner: Best Short Film Toronto International Film Festival 2018

Official Selection Sundance Film Festival 2019

There's something beautiful and heartbreaking about how temporary that happiness feels.

The harvest is coming, and so is the end of their little world.

🏨 The Criminals — Serhat Karaaslan

🏆 Winner: Special Jury Award for Screenwriting Sundance Film Festival 2021

Shortlisted: Best Live-Action Short Film Academy Awards 2022

What I loved most is what happens after they finally get out.

Three films. Three very different stories. One feeling.

If you have about an hour this weekend, give these three a try.

Here is a deep dive analysis of a masterpiece from Nuri Bilge Ceylan.

Counterfeit Kunkoo by Reema Sengupta is the kind of film that takes you somewhere new for the cheapest ticket there is. In 15 minutes, you're inside another part of the world, seeing the lives, challenges and traditions people are tied to. There's very little dialogue, but it says so much.

Her story. Her way.

Hey everyone! :)

A few of us started The Third Place, a Discord community for people who enjoy films, books, creative expression, and simply having somewhere to hang out and talk.

Cinema is one of the main things at the heart of TTP, and we especially enjoy discovering films from different countries, cultures, and filmmaking traditions. But we're not a film-only server – literature, writing, art, photography, music, and everyday conversation all have a place here too.

We're now around 200 members, and we're still pretty new and figuring things out as we go. Activity is still inconsistent– there are times when conversations are happening and other times when things get pretty quiet, especially since our members are spread across different time zones.

A few things we're hoping to build:

• 🎬 Film discussions. International and arthouse cinema, mainstream films, old favorites, obscure discoveries, and everything in between.
• 🎙️ VC conversations as a regular part of the server culture. We'd love for people to eventually feel comfortable hopping into a VC to talk about a film, a book, compare interpretations, recommend something they've discovered, or simply hang out and talk about shared interests. -We also have weekly or every-other-week VoiceChat events, including film-related discussions.
• 📚 Literature, creative expression, and everyday life alongside cinema, with conversations free to wander naturally.
• 🌎 A community with people from different countries and backgrounds, and hopefully more of that as we grow.
• 🌿 A warm, inclusive, empathetic, and low-pressure atmosphere built around kindness, curiosity, respect, and making people feel comfortable being themselves.
• 🎨 Spaces for writing, art, photography, crafts, music, and other creative work.
• ☕ No need to be a film expert or know all the directors, movements, and terminology to join a conversation. There's no pressure to perform or prove that you belong.

We're still shaping the community, so if you're looking for a huge, constantly-active film server, this probably isn't that right now. 😅 But if you'd enjoy joining while we're still figuring things out – and maybe helping create some of the conversations and VC culture yourself, we'd love to have you.

If this sounds like your kind of space, feel free to DM me and I'll send you an invite. :)

A new Palestinian documentary is receiving a free virtual pre-release screening today through Palestine Museum US.

Directed by Palestinian journalist and visual storyteller Basim Hasiba, The Last Front - Palestinian Culture examines the relationship between Palestinian cultural institutions and international funding, particularly what happens when financial support arrives with political and security-related conditions attached.

Through testimony from people working within Palestinian cultural organisations, the film asks how those conditions can affect programming, staff, participation and ultimately the independence of cultural work itself: who can be included, what can be funded and what can be said.

Hasiba developed the film through his work as an independent journalist interested in documentary filmmaking and Palestinian cultural and social life. The project was produced through the Palestine Journalism Hub’s independent journalism initiative.

The free online screening begins today, Saturday 26 September, at 17:00 UK / 12:00 EDT / 19:00 Palestine. The film is listed as 1 hour 36 minutes and subtitled in English.
