A dream of many years has come true: I had a hand in curating this programme on Serge Daney for the ICA, in conjunction with the dossier we produced on SD with @Sabzianbe
Serge Daney (1944–1992), called "the end of criticism" by Godard, remains a towering voice in film thought. In partnership with Sabzian journal, we present 12 films reflecting his cinephilic, internationalist vision.

My new essay, “The Amateur and the Archive,” is now available to read.
On four films, archival images, love and possession, and why artistic openness may require conviction rather than endless tentativeness.
Written for wysiwyg’s Glued & Screwed #33.

NOT BY LYNCH continues on Friday 4 September at @CinemaMuseum with UNDER THE SILVER LAKE (2018).
Andrew Garfield descends into an increasingly uncanny LA of conspiracies, secret codes, pop-cultural debris & hidden worlds.

W/ new programme note by Graeme Arnfield.
8 years after attending screenings at the @UCLAFTVArchive as a student, I returned to the Billy Wilder Theater to co-curate & introduce a sold-out two-day retrospective of Cinema-ye Azad with Hadi Alipanah & Shaghayegh Raoufi.
from 2018/19: Wang Bing, Charles Burnett, and many more formative experiences with @UCLAFTVArchive across the years.

I wrote an essay for yanco: 'Reclaiming Archives: Images in Fracture'.
It reflects on a short film programme centered around archives, political images, fragmentation, and the limits of representation.
