theguardian.com/film/2024/de… The cinema experience is on the up and 2025 looks likely to be a bumper year. Yet Lewisham doesn’t have a single cinema since the closure of our beloved Catford Mews. What’s going on @LewishamCouncil? @CatfordMews

Am sure Starmer/the Government will now rush out with rescue plans, support, and help for impacted workers, as should be the case. Creative industry workers have had zero support. We get a brief mention in Parliament but @DCMS haven't reached out to help us. @lisanandy Why?

This won't be news to producers who live it everyday but it helps highlight how unsustainable the current system is. We need to look at how tech and pharma approach R&D and see how we can learn from that to implement a new development system in film and TV.
SPA is calling for industry-wide reform for development funding and IP rights arrangements after a member survey revealed unsustainable financial pressures during the development phase of film and television projects. Read the full findings here: ow.ly/WYar50Uezk9

Everyone needs to book @shittheatre What's Left of Us @sohotheatre right now. Massive trigger warnings for grief but properly brilliant stuff. "We are not afraid of ashes. Ashes are the proof that fire was."* *I might be paraphrasing slightly. Just go see for yourself.

Trump wins the White House. Again. The Democrats blew it. Again. A depressing yet predictable result.
