No Place for Self-Pity, No Room for Fear

In times of dread, artists must never choose to remain silent.

When @SightSoundmag asked me last week to pen an obituary for Terence Davies, I was decimated. I also knew nothing I wrote in the space allotted could do justice to the films or to the human being. It was an honor to have lived with his cinema. bfi.org.uk/news/terence-davi…
