December 6, 2017/in Autumn 2017_#Dress, Festival Reviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

The opening night film for an LGBTQ film festival is a rare opportunity to bring all the members of the community together. As such, it is imperative for the films in this privileged position to resonate with audiences beyond merely having a gay or lesbian character. The queerness of the films of these festivals can […]

Fashion film festivals have quite suddenly mushroomed worldwide. After the establishment of the pioneering Fashion in Film Festival[1] in 2006 in London, the idea was picked up in Paris by fashion critic and blogger Diane Pernet, who founded A Shaded View On Fashion Film[2] in 2008. From then on, the fashion film festival concept has […]

August 23, 2017/in News /by Greg DeCuir

Alternative Film/Video, 13-17 December 2017, Belgrade Perhaps the most referenced statement on politics in cinema is Jean-Luc Godard’s notion that the ideal is not to make political films, but to make films politically. Godard proclaimed this at a turning point in his career – when he turned to alternative forms of cinema, alternative forms of […]

How do film festivals work?: A conversation with Joshua Oppenheimer

December 4, 2016/in Autumn 2016_#Home, Festival Reviews, Interviews, Reviews /by Greg DeCuir

The documentary is about politically-motivated, state-sponsored killings in the 1960s in Indonesia and the residue of […]

Human rights, film, and social change: Screening Rights Film Festival, Birmingham Centre for Film Studies

July 11, 2016/in Festival Reviews, Reviews, Spring 2016_'Small data' /by Greg DeCuir

The inaugural Birmingham Screening Rights film festival screened its programme of 7 films in July 2015 over three days under the auspices of human rights in a region that houses some of England’s greatest ethnic diversity. The small number of films screened over such a short time might suggest that this did not constitute a […]

In the summer of 2015 I undertook an eight-week journey from Istanbul to Paris (part of a year-long research project documented on my blog The Itinerant Cinephile[1]) that involved visits to film festivals, independent theaters, and exhibition venues throughout the United States and Europe.
