SAY WHAAAAAAAAT i have never seen this
i don’t think this is a film still, or if it is it’s cropped. this is from vera chytilova’s 1966 film sedmikrasky.

ricardo darin in xxy (2007) directed by lucia puenzo
this is from one of my favourite films, xxy (2007) directed by lucia puenzo and it is a SHAME these screencaps are going around without credit.

The Glittering World
Molly Surno is a multi-disciplinary artist, her work ranging from immersive and itinerant public film screenings (Cinema 16), to an upcoming documentary about the Miss Trans World Indian pageant. “The Glittering World” is a series of Polaroid photographs taken with the transgender Native American community while working on this film.
Her work reveals a new reality not only outside of societal norms, but also outside of stereotypical perspectives on subcultures altogether. When we think drag queens, we think pink, heeled, altogether with Western feminine ideals. When we think desert, we do not think disco ball. “The Glittering World” reminds us of the profound diversity of America, and how we yield new traditions through our historical fantasies and present desires. Surno’s use of expired Polaroid film even feels radical, and outside of the usual analog mourning—“nostalgia isn’t what it used to be.”
“The Glittering World” is on view, along with more of Surno’s work, at Gasser / Grunert, closing this week, Friday, July 13.

"Right, and a love story is a love story. And I don’t want to see any more gay movies where somebody dies of AIDS or is in a straight relationship and gets turned and then turns back, like fucking I’m over it, we’re beyond it, let’s go."

i had this conversation with my friend deegan after i told him how much i loved southern comfort. every film with a trans character follows one of two plotlines: how they died too young/were murdered because they were trans or the trans person is a psychotic murderer driven mad by their desire to be the “opposite” gender. it’s so fucking shitty. even when we’re telling the stories of real people we feel the need to impose these scripts on them. where’s the multiplicity of stories? or representations?

this movie is terrible
does this motherfucker act in ANY GOOD MOVIES? i watch movies that he’s in cos i’m like ooh baby he foine but then the movie sucks and i want to stab my eyeballs.
chelsea i don’t know if anyone answered you yet but from my experience the answer is unfortunately fuck no.
that said i’m not a huge fan of (recent) french films. this one (la belle personne) and deux jours à tuer are two of the most awful films i have seen in the last 5 years. unbearable-give-me-back-the-time-i-wasted-watching-you awful.
i sat through this solely because of léa seydoux’s face.

film gifs from the 1932 carl theodor dreyer silent film vampyr
talked about vampirism as a potential life direction today, in all seriousness, and how it could relate to gentrification.
newfangled hollywood vampires have got nothin’, and i meant SHIT, on how creepy silent film era vampires are. if you get a couple drinks in me i will tell you passionately and enthusiastically about how this movie changed my life/scared the shit out of me when i first saw it. the first time i saw timber timbre was in a small art gallery with this projected on the wall behind him as he played his set, it was beyond perfect.

reblogging to add credit. this is so perfect for my latest post, knowing the context of this post changes it from like sexy thigh high garter eye candy… to “what the fuck?” when you know she’s the devil.
also i really like this movie and shared film stills i took of it online when i first watched it back in july 2009.

[Image: Still from the film ‘La Naissance des pieuvres’ showing two light-skinned girls with brown hair lying in a bed. The girl on the left is wearing a grey tank top and laying on her back. Girl on the right side is wearing a dark red t-shirt and laying on her side, facing the other girl. Caption at the bottom says, “Forget your stupid princess dreams.”]
Why did it take me so long to watch this movie? It was so sweet and beautiful and heartbreaking and I pretty much cried the whole time.
it was really intense and emotional for me, too. it was borderline triggery for me (because i was a synchronized swimmer at the same age) and it’s when a lot of my full-fledged body hate started happening because i was surrounded by assholes. i need to take the time watch it again when i’m ready. but heads up, it’s a pretty intense movie to watch if you’ve ever been a teenage girl.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnr8kaBv4g1qziw1jo1_500.png)
