Probably doesn't mean anything that his last movie was about a filmmaker trying to reconcile with the fact that a generation views him as a political rebel and intellectual when he is in fact just kind of a self serving dickhead who happened to also make great art
The director believes we're only two years from an all-AI movie.
Paul Schrader claims to have the "perfect script" for an AI-generated feature

Saw Kelly Reichardt's sensational THE MASTERMIND last night and I'm currently devastated by the lack of the score being available anywhere, beautiful low-key jazz that's absolutely one of the best this year.

Rewatching THE HUNTED. All timer rainy PNW photography that really sings on the Kino 4K. Doesn't get enough recognition in the Friedkin oeuvre for being as nerve-shreddingly tense as his best.

As always, the latest Motern film is one of my favorites of the year; an earnest, delightful kaleidoscope of cinematic trickery that exists as proof of the power of film and the communities that come together to produce it. The boys have done it again.

I liked Maverick as much as anyone but we've gotta stop letting Kosinski follow in the footsteps of the real romantics. He's not a yearner like Mann or Scott and I don't need to see a bland but technically proficient reboot of Miami Vice, he just doesn't have the juice.

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

Incredibly sad news. The Egyptian was my favorite theater in Seattle and I had so many amazing experiences there. The last time I was there before it shut down I got to hear Thelma Schoonmaker wax poetic about the brilliant Michael Powell. A real loss for the city.
SIFF and Seattle Central have mutually decided to end our current lease at the Egyptian. We are so grateful to Seattle Central for their partnership over the years, and to all who have come to a film or event at SIFF Cinema Egyptian. Read more at siff.info/siffegynews-bsky.
