Home - Healing starts when people bear witness Outcry Witness is the platform where survivors of sexual violence keep an anonymous record of their experience, always under their control.

🧵 1/ Excellent and impactful work from CCE second in command @loraadair.bsky.social published in the New Metro over the weekend about Outcry Witness

It’s an anonymous website where sexual-assault survivors can safely tell their stories.

No names, no pressure. Just a record in their own words 🗣️🛡️

The dramatic irony of Apple TV putting out promo for this with the caption ‘the system can’t stop what it doesn’t see coming’ … 😭

#Nowwatching ‘Surf’s Up’ to recover. The greatest documentary of all time.

A review of Capturing the Friedmans (2003) Abhorrent, irresponsible filmmaking.  I watched this almost 10 years ago (Christ), whilst studying a module called ‘Truth, Reality, and the Documentary Film’ in my year of film studies before I switch...

I decided to revisit some of the documentaries I’ve studied in the past, and found renewed rage for ‘Capturing the Friedmans’ (2003).

Not that exploitation in documentary filmmaking is a new shocking idea, but this one, for me, is particularly egregious.

I thought I was growing up in a racially tolerant Britain. I now realise I was wrong | Rohan Sathyamoorthy I’ve experienced more racism in the past year than the rest of my life put together – the only answer is for young people to stand up to the far right, says writer Rohan Sathyamoorthy

Film still from ‘Sorry, Baby’. (Left) Eva Victor as ‘Agnes’. (Right) John Carroll Lynch as Pete. Agnes and Pete are sat on the floor, in conversation. Agnes eating a sandwich made by Pete.

Bit of a slow film week for me (I might have restarted a Fallout 4 campaign 👀) BUT this week I finally got to see ‘Sorry, Baby’. It has shot straight to the top of my trauma representation in film list. It was real, messy, heartbreaking and funny (AND not fucking exploitative!! 🥹) #LetterboxdFriday

Inside Looking Out: Sorry, Baby’s Eva Victor on healing and humor in their miraculous debut feature • Journal • A Letterboxd Magazine As Sorry, Baby finds more audiences globally, writer, director and star Eva Victor tells Ella Kemp about their comedy rules, favorite performances, and an update on their cat, Clyde.

Sorry, Baby is out in UK cinemas today and so far it is hands down my favourite film of the year — a joy and a privilege to interview writer/director/star/legend Eva Victor for Letterboxd Journal: boxd.it/2DW

Made it just in time for the end of #LetterboxdFriday! @vaikriya.bsky.social has been getting me into anime in the last 18 months. Grave of the Fireflies… my god. Being stabbed would be less painful. #LastFourWatched

The stage of A Moon for the Misbegotten. Lots of broken down wooden equipment and furniture, a broken down piano sinking into the ground, all surround a circular stage. Set design by Tom Scutt.

Exterior of the Almeida Theatre. Small but incredible venue. Beautifully old white building.

A Moon for the Misbegotten…

Injecting Ruth Wilson’s stage presence into my veins again. What a fantastic place @almeida.co.uk is!

Behold, a woman

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! I’ve been on a bit of an Australian Cinema kick recently. Any recommendations welcome! #LastFourWatched

Mental-health lessons in schools sound like a great idea. The trouble is, they don’t work | Lucy Foulkes All-class therapy sessions don’t help, and may even make matters worse. The evidence shows we need different solutions, says Dr Lucy Foulkes, an academic psychologist at Oxford University

I’m in the Guardian today, arguing that we should stop them all-class mental health lessons in schools

I've thought very carefully about ‘going public’ with this, because it's a sensitive argument to make, especially in the face of so many young people struggling.
