So I see that @SeventhRow are *this* close to reaching 3,500 followers, and I wanted to push us over the edge by doing a thread on the 5 coolest things we've done as an organization in 2020.
We're a Canadian film site and publishing house run by women (+ we have a podcast).

1) We published ebooks about two greats:
"Portraits of resistance: The cinema of Céline Sciamma," the first book ever about Sciamma. http://sciammabook.com
"Roads to nowhere: Kelly Reichardt's broken American dreams" is our most ambitious book to date. http://reichardtbook.com

(and we've received incredible feedback about both + our highest sales to date!)
2) We've had (IMO) some of the best quarantine programming around with #LockdownFilmSchool.
The series is ending soon (there's one tonight!) but we've had months of amazing weekly livestreams where a filmmaker or a pair of filmmakers discuss their craft. http://lockdownfilmschool.com

Through #LockdownFilmSchool I've gotten to interview incredible people such as Mike Leigh, Alice Winocour, Amma Asante, Lily Gladstone, Penny Lane, Mina Shum, Ashley Connor... so many more.
More importantly, we've created a dialogue between them and you, our audience.

3) A personal highlight: I spoke at @finalgirlsfest in February. It also means I got to sneak in a little trip abroad before everything closed down.
I spoke about the 7R book, "Beyond empowertainment: Feminist horror and the struggle for female agency." http://feministhorrorbook.com

4) For years I've wanted to buy mugs that celebrate my favourite arthouse filmmakers (there are plenty of t-shirts these days but so few mugs!). This year, I helped @SeventhRow fill that gap in the market with these beauuuties, our first bit of merch
