The impact of Frederick Wiseman on nonfiction filmmaking was seismic beyond measure and beyond compare. Like how do you even begin to consider his influence on documentary technique or his decades of insight into how institutions (and artistic spaces) operate? What a treasure. R.I.P.

Statement from Oscar-winning director Hamdan Ballal: This afternoon, nearly a year after we won the Oscar, the same settler who attacked me shortly after l returned from Los Angeles-Shem Tov Lusky-again led an attack against my home and my family. Four of my family members are currently arrested and one is in the hospital. I invite all journalists and diplomats to come visit me and my family this Tuesday, February 17, to hear about how the situation has gotten worse in the year since we won the Oscar, as it has across the West Bank. Email me to coordinate your visit: hamdanalhrane90@gmail.com Two weeks ago we managed to get a decision from the Israeli court that the area around my home is closed to non-residents, but the settlers break that order and still come with their flocks almost every day. We call the police, they do nothing. The army comes, they do nothing. Today, Shem Tov Lusky-the settler who attacked me in my home shortly after I won the Oscar last year-came with his flock to my home. My brother called the police to report the incursion. The army came first and immediately raided our house, attacking everyone inside. Then they arrested two of my brothers, a nephew, and cousin. Another brother was badly injured and is now in the hospital. The Israeli court decision was supposed to make things a bit quieter for us. But the opposite has been true. The settlers have ramped up their harassment and the Israeli authorities have done nothing to enforce the decision, and today they joined the settlers in the attack. 8 hours ago

From Hamdan Ballal, co-director of last year’s Oscar-winning documentary “No Other Land.” This is happening now.

selling out should be uncool again 😕

If they had a right-wing, “tough-on-crime” coded mayor there would be endless national profiles about him and how he finally brought sanity back to Chicago.

He didn’t actually forgive my loans, so was there any proof Kamala could’ve gotten anything done or would it be “we dont have the votes” for four more years? I voted for her but I understand others being like “oh cool, promises they would eventually make excuses for not doing later.”

I don’t know where you live. You underestimate a national narrative at your peril. Everyone is online now. You yourself are participating. Are there local issues that are relevant to specific cities? Yes. Zohran ran mainly on affordability - an issue relevant nowhere else but nyc lol

You’re right. When a prog dem in NC or RI or CA runs for something, they don’t immediately get a call from AIPAC asking about their take on Israel or moderate dems telling them to cool the language about going after [most hated private company in their area]. You clearly don’t know this experience

Zohran has insane favorability ratings - that the Dems arent opportunistic about it IS a failure. Imagine saying the same thing about Barack Obama in 2007 - which people did by the way! - “he’s too Chicago” “he’s likeable but new” “the establishment is hostile to him!” but sure - don’t lift him up!!
