The hysteria around Barry’s nude scene in Saltburn is a testament to the infantilisation of cinema in the last decade. It’s a remarkably tame bit of nudity, but it’s no wonder we’re seeing less nudity from actors when people insist on decontextualising it in this manner.

I’ve never seen a standing ovation @BFIFlare like the one Kristen Lovell and Zackary Drucker received last night for their film, THE STROLL. If you have a chance to see it, go!

If you're anything other than absolutely appalled at the treatment of trans people in the UK and around the world, we're fundamentally incompatible as people. Happy Easter! 🐰

It really feels like cinema for grown ups is making a comeback in a real way, and I’m so happy about it.

As we reach the end of Pride Month I’ve been thinking a lot about the people who declare themselves allies because they know and like white gays like me, but demonstrate no solidarity for the rest of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Not to add to ✨the discourse✨, but the more I see this doing the rounds, the more I think that my issue with it is that while both are examples of valid writing styles, neither is an example of actually good writing.

I can’t believe it’s the year of our Lord 2023 and people are still going on stage and telling aspiring filmmakers to “just go out and shoot something”. 🤯

BFI NETWORK-funded shorts have had some big successes on the festival and awards circuit, but I don’t know that we’re seeing (many? enough?) tangible examples of a SUCCESSFUL BFI NETWORK SHORT TO BFI FUNDED FEATURE IN PRODUCTION pathway.

📢A call out to all producers, tv execs and agents: an unrepresented writer friend has one of the best pilot treatments I've read in a long time. It's very queer, and a rare period drama with a working class POV. Get in touch if you'd like to see the pitch deck!

The wave of shared grief that spilled out of the audience during this scene was tangible. I looked behind me and saw hundreds of faces wet with tears. I hope Andrew Scott knows how much he’s touched people with this work. I hope it’s enough. He deserves the nom, though.

I am once again asking organisers of schemes for female and non-binary filmmakers to interrogate why their guidelines are excluding trans men, and consider widening their scope to include all marginalised genders.
