Cinema Rediscovered is home to an annual #FilmCritics workshop w/partner @NotebookMUBI led by @midnightmovies

Today, we’re looking back at some of the amazing writing that’s come out of this over the years starting with this piece from Kofo Owokoniran: https://mubi.com/notebook/posts/cinema-rediscovered-2017-the-entity-or-to-be-a-woman-is-to-be-born-in-a-venus-fly-trap
And this from Kirsty Asher ( @CursedTea_ ) exploring how Jean-Luc Godard's 1967 Leftist drama La Chinoise speaks to the present 👇
Also at #cineredis17 , Barry Levitt wrote about two docs he saw at the festival - one about the discovery of old films in the Yukon ( @dcft_thefilm ), the other about Cary Grant ( @CaryGrantDoc ) - that both use archival footage to discover & evoke history: https://mubi.com/notebook/posts/cinema-rediscovered-2017-recycled-renewed-archival-footage-in-dawson-city-frozen-time-and-becoming-cary-grant
Following #cineredis17, @Admagnetic ( @cometherev / @Ujimaradio / @cables_cameras ) pictured here left with the other Film Critics participants & @midnightmovies wrote these Thoughts on Identity, Memory, Meaning and The Moving Image:

In 2018, Film Critics workshop participant Cathy Brennan ( @TownTattle ) wrote about Something Must Break (2014), a Swedish film by Ester Martin Bergsmark about transgender sexuality and the virulent transmisogyny of society: https://mubi.com/notebook/posts/something-must-break-a-superlative-queer-love-story
Paul Farrell ( @InPermafrost ) wrote about Margaret Tait, an artist continually rediscovering her own work in process after seeing her only feature Blue Black Permanent (1992) on #35mm introed by producer @Kcwswan https://mubi.com/notebook/posts/margaret-tait-sandcastles-and-picture-houses

ps: now available to watch on @BFIPlayer
We were delighted to be able to present Tracey Moffatt’s BeDevil (1993) at #cineredis18, a beguiling Australian film that tells Aboriginal narratives from an Aboriginal perspective.

Read Jessica McGoff ( @jcmcgoff ) inspired piece on the subject: https://mubi.com/notebook/posts/the-ghosts-and-ghostliness-of-tracey-moffatt-s-bedevil
