I love when the world tells older women they are becoming irrelevant and invisible, and they're just like, Good, now I can do what I want, and no one will bother me.

@RickiTarr i like this in theory but the long isolation (i'm also disabled by chronic illness, so extra irrelevant and doubly invisible) is weighing on me.

i like that others are making the most of it :)

Festival Online 2024 will be Weds 5th-19th June (starts & ends noon JST so effectively the 18th for UK).
It's a great opportunity to see Japanese films which can be hard to find.
I'm going to watch as many as I can and post brief thoughts under with the aim of helping those with busy lives choose one or two. Happy to have conversations as well.
Please follow the hashtag if you're interested.

The Lines That Define Me -
Lighter than I expected and an often gorgeous film about finding your own lines in art and traditional forms, the ones that express your own emotions and the life in them

The lines of this film shift from delicate to joyful to bold to struggle to fulfilling. In that, it embodies the ethos of its story.

(films available online until 18th-19th June (depending on time zone)

We Made a Beautiful Bouquet

Single8
Another youth film focused on creativity, a visual art and finding your own voice. High school students work together, with the help of a uni film student and a history teacher, pushing themselves, their skills and ingenuity to make a short science fiction film with meaning.
It's left me with a big smile 💖

The Lone Ume Tree

About acceptance of difference and problems caused by those quick to judge. Cho-san has both learning disabilities and autism, needs his routines and works in a supported facility. He also has a great mum and difficult neighbours.

Father of the Milky Way Railroad

Beautiful, poetic melodrama depicting a romanticised and idealised life of an idealistic young man who, after his death, became one of Japan's most loved poets and writers.
Now to read some of his writings while this is still fresh in my mind.

News Agents podcast has an interview from today with a man who started out saying I'm not racist but... (yeah right) and specified Jews and Muslims as the immigrants he wants rid of.

Jews are NOT trying to get into the UK in any significant numbers.
2021/22 Census has 277,613 Jews in the UK, 0.4% of the population.
277,613 Jews and the racists are naming us as people to get rid of. We are a TINY minority.

5,847 (0.1%) in Scotland, 2,044 (0.07%) Wales, 439 (0.02%) NI

@emmaaum I've started watching #TheMidnightRomanceInHagwon and it might be your kind of #drama.

I'm 4 episodes in and there's no violence, no dramatic moments and no traumatic experiences.
It's all about status and competition. Both in the Korean society and among people working for hagwons.

Anthony Roth Costanzo is excellent of course but Stephanie Blythe has sort of ruined me for other Orfeos

i've seen three films in #JFF2024 which involve arts and artists - The Lines that Define Me (sumi-e ink painting), Single8 (1978-era amateur film making) and Father of the Milky Way Railroad (idealised biography of an idealistic young man who, after his death, became one of Japan's most loved writers and poets) - and in every one, cinematography and story of the films themselves are shaped by the art form and style depicted.
Am more interested in the anime business one now.

Apologies for the change in the weather. It is clearly my fault as two weeks ago I thought it seemed like we might indeed have a warm summer and ordered tomato plants.
They arrived yesterday as did two hail storms.

that sounds like an uncharacteristically heavy rain storm for here
looks outside
it's hail. lots and lots of big hail
