Thanks for the patience and the review. It’s online: sergedaney.blogspot.com/2025/11/mang...

Ad for Daney's book in Cahiers (443/444): 'Behind this pathetic title is a collection of texts for Libération. The author follows a thread from cinema to television and to news. From "Ghosts of Permanence" (films on TV) to a visual appraisal of the "Gulf War". Reasonable? It's written and readable.'

You're on. You'll need patience. I need to find the time.

Thanks for the mention. Lovely way to link Radu Jude and the Serge Daney's texts on Romania.

There is. Serge Daney wrote the article "Manga, Sake for the Eyes" in Art Press, issue 109, December 1986. A simple like or response from you will result in a translation of this article on the Serge Daney in English blog (sergedaney.blogspot.com).

A punch up between Deleuze and Ruiz witnessed by Daney? Incredible.

Glad you enjoyed it. Always fun but never easy with Daney... Thanks for these new translations (on top of the two on tennis).

Superb @sabzian.bsky.social ICA Cinema Serge Daney season started last night. Tomorrow: Ford’s SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON (1949) www.ica.art/films/daney-...

Rare gathering of “Daneyans” (term coined by Nicholas Eliott) this afternoon at the ICA London for the screening of Nord Sud (conversation Daney/Sanbar). Pleasure to be there.

Just downloaded Mapy (looking OK with bike routes in London, finding nice quiet back roads if not all of them), but discovering the Vivaldi browser just made my day (solved so many performance issues on older Macbook Air). Thanks! #LateToTheParty

Serge Daney “returning” to the specificity of films after the intense early 70s ideological period of Cahiers du Cinéma (Translation of Pierre Eugène’s book on Daney, available on the blog: sergedaney.blogspot.com/2025/08/the-...)

With the ICA London programme about Serge Daney approaching, we've taken the opportunity to translate an extract of Pierre Eugène's incredible book about Daney (Pierre is attending a roundtable on Sept 30th).

Raoul Walsh’s perfect image-action with James Cagney at his peak. “Top of the world, Ma!” Thanks for the great 16mm screening!

This issue was compiled by Arta Barzanji and Gerard-Jan Claes (@gerardjanclaes.bsky.social), and appears in conjunction with an eponymous film programma at ICA London, starting at the end of August!
