I got to see a 35mm showing of The Wind that Shakes the Barley, earlier today in QFT Belfast. A packed house in the cinema that has just been ranked 22nd best cinema in the world by Time Out magazine.

In the Middle Ages, before the printing press was invented, scribes rewrote hundreds of books, so of course, errors were made. Scribes attributed their mistakes to a demon called Titivillus, who caused errors so he could collect them in a sack to show the Devil. #WyrdWednesday
