Another LFF review. For @moviemarker.bsky.social one of my most anticipated of the whole fest - Sentimental Value which for the most part more than lived up to it. This will be a huge awards player. Can't wait to revisit at Xmas. A great role for Stellan.

Our last full day in Cardiff. *sigh*

Halfway point of @irisprize.org Industry Day. Having a lovely time of it.

Usually these kind of networking events terrify me 😅 But even if only briefly. Neat to grab a chat with fellow queer film beauts. Great talks as well. 🏳️‍🌈❤️

A festival logo selfie? Groundbreaking. 😅

Still one more day here. But honestly. Media partner or not. Being at @irisprize.org has been EXACTLY what I needed. Surrounded by unapologetic queer joy + creativity in abundance.

Quality of the shorts has been outstanding. ✨️🏳️‍🌈💕

@darrylgriffiths.bsky.social let me wax lyrical about the dark undercurrent in two films I love very much!

The World’s End? How The Long Walk/The Mist Mirror Today’s Society

It may be rather obvious to say but these are dark, divided times. It may even feel as if this is as bad as it’s ever been, but the reality is, things have always been divided. People have always draw...

Out in select UK cinemas from today, Ash Avildsen's biopic about trailblazing women's pro wrestler Mildred Burke, Queen of the Ring, is an old-fashioned (for better and worse) crowdpleaser. My review for @moviemarker.bsky.social: www.moviemarker.co.uk/queen-of-the...

Also got a new interview out with @moviemarker.bsky.social!

Had a chat with Solo director Sophie Dupuis and actor Felix Maritaud. One of my favourite interviews; was a lot of fun but also rather profound.

Thank you so much Julian for spreading the word. Been in the game a long time. Can't stress enough how swiftly we started thoroughly investigating this, as soon as it was raised by yourself.

Will be concluded shortly.

Movie Marker @moviemarker.bsky.social · Aug 27

Can confirm these particular posts are sponsored posts, hence the rather generic featured images.

We've been in regular contact with Julian as soon as it was flagged up. Swiftly being dealt with internally. Very much value you passing all these concerns on, as we're horrified.
