If Fbook's purchase of Oculus in 2014 was the start of VR hype, Meta's reduction of Reality Labs is an official end of that chapter. But don't be fooled, Meta still wants to put a screen between you and the world. It's more pernicious, in the form of always-on, AI infused Ray-Bans. The cycle repeats
In case you missed it, Film @tcddublin.bsky.social & Dr Corey Cribb have a CfP out for an international conference on French Theory and Contemporary Screen Studies next June @tlrhub.bsky.social. Abstracts due in January. Please share with anyone who might be interested!

Book cover, Clown Paintings by Diane Keaton
RIP Diane Keaton- such sad news, what an incredible talent. You probably didn't know she collected clown paintings by amateur artists, eventually publishing an entire book devoted to them
Diane Keaton created new ways for women on screen to laugh, think, cry, age, and, yes, dress. She was flinty and vulnerable and so much everything all at once. I, for one, wouldn’t be me without her.
I am so delighted to announce that my desktop documentary "Google Mapping Blow-Up: A Desktop Remediation" has been published in issue 22 of Frames Cinema Journal. I want to thank Yuanxin Chu, Rachel Ng & Camila Contreras-Langlois for their work on this issue.

Scholarly orgs based in the U.S. that purport to be "international" are going to need to come to terms with what it means to continue holding their in-person gatherings in a country many people cannot travel to or no longer feel safe visiting for all kinds of reasons.

you don't need to be jacques lacan to see how desperately transmuting material loss into symbolic gain is really just slapping a fancy new signifier atop a yawning black hole but hey it doesn't hurt

A memorial image of Linda Williams (1946–2025). She is pictured wearing glasses and a black blazer, smiling. The text 'IN MEMORIAM' appears at the bottom.
1/7 It is with deep sadness that we mourn the passing of Linda Williams, a pioneering scholar whose fearless work transformed film and media studies. Over her remarkable career, Williams challenged scholars to take seriously popular and often marginalized genres,
In memory of her passing my favourite Linda Williams media moment is just at the end of an old television documentary series on the history of pornography. She did have a soft spot for 'Boys in the Sand' (1972).

It was great to co-ordinate a theme week for In Media Res. Curators responded to the call with great pieces on auteurs and auteurism in the age of social media.
