Remembering director Frank Perry who passed on this day thirty years ago (29 Aug 1995).

It was great to have The Swimmer (1968) and Play It as It Lays (1972) at #CineRedis25, introduced by curator Ellisha Izumi von Grunewald.

Festival directors discuss imperative to show โ€œuncomfortable filmsโ€ "Part of our role is to find and back voices that sometimes make people uncomfortable," said Berlinale director Tricia Tuttle.

โ€œCinemas & festivals have always been spaces where you can start difficult conversations. What I love about what filmmakers can do for these difficult conversations is show us something so much more complex than what a news piece can do.โ€ Tricia Tuttle in @screendaily.com.web.brid.gy
