Such a sadness when a great nonfiction book becomes your friend, and then it reaches its inevitable conclusion. You’re enriched with all these wonderful profound thoughts, only to realize that they are someone else’s brilliance, and not your own. What a sorrow their wisdom may shortly escape you…

As soon as I read the jacket synopsis, I knew this would be a work of fiction ripe for a “I am Legend” or “The Road” styled film adaption. Cormac McCarthy has sadly been long passed away, so Peter Heller might be the guy now.

The natural world as presented to me as a child was a mythical reconstruction of a time and place that was already on its way out the door. Accepting the destruction of all things by human hands is par for the course in this life.

The Testament of Ann Lee expands into more theatres today (including on 70mm in Toronto), and i cant recommend it more highly

a great film about religion, art, feminism, utopianism, history, movement, the body, and righteousness

Three more #kakapo matings last night: Tumeke + Te Atapo on Whenua Hou, and Kotahitanga mated with both Marama and Kohengi on Anchor. Mating with different males substantially increases the likelihood of clutch fertility: peerj.com/articles/146.... Here's Te Atapo booming. #conservation #parrots

More #kakapo matings: Heather and Bluster-Murphy on Whenua Hou yesterday morning, and Kuia and Tamahou on Anchor this morning. Here's Kuia on her nest in 2019. She's of Fiordland descent, so has valuable genetics. #conservation #parrots #birds

Yesterday we started #kakapo artificial insemination for the season. We do this to help maintain genetic diversity, with a potential additional benefit of improving fertility. We inseminated Esperance, who mated naturally a few nights ago. #conservation #parrots #birds

Bumped into 27 year old male #kakapo Sinbad today. He's of Fiordland descent so has important genetics, but he hasn't been a very successful breeder so far - probably because he's partially imprinted. He's in great condition this year. #conservation #parrots #birds

One of the reasons this movie is timeless is because the landscapes merely rely on the beauty of the natural world, rather than painting in skies with CGI. Likely something that was really only possible fifty years ago, when weather was more dependable.

Next movie to watch for. A nostalgic look at 2011, which for the record, was 15 years ago. Chandler Levack's last indie movie "I Like Movies" was one of my favorite movies of last year.

Two more days until this one comes to digital VOD… Josh O’Connor being directed by Max Walker-Silverman. Could be a really special flick.

“That scream that is ecstasy and agony all together. That was a feeling we were searching for.”

I interviewed THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE’s Mona Fastvold about faith, trauma, hunger, thirst, communal languages of movement, and the intense spirituality of filmmaking. www.rogerebert.com/interviews/t...

The filmmaker talks about the dazzling musicality and "dreamlike quality" of her latest.
