2 of my besties together in 1 screening?!?! Don’t miss this screening of mesmerizing new docs by @cb_grimaldi & @dtortum at @MovingImageNYC this Saturday July 31 at 1pm! movingimage.us/visit/calenda…
Just saw Jordan Lord's Shared Resources at @MoMAFilm. What a brilliant and devastating portrait of the entanglement of intimacy and capitalism. A wonderful, study, too, of the documentary form. It'll also be playing in a few weeks at @thedocyard. Def worth watching.
