Unlike Lesbos, Chios, Samos, Kos and Leros, Crete does not yet have a dedicated migrant reception facility.

A mastermind and pioneer of ‘direct cinema’. I was doing my MA in Film Studies when I watched his documentary ‘Titicut Follies’ that turned my whole viewpoint upside down. He will be missed. His legacy must live on through his films. Rest in Peace.

A reply from an Iranian on Threads
“Currently, we are at war with the Islamic regime, and he is the only trustworthy figure who has fought for 47 years to bring freedom to the people of Iran. About 80% of Iranians love him, along with his father and grandfather, which is why his name is widely called out across Iran.”

It’s not but it’s not meant to be. It’s a snarky moment in the episode, following several episodes that build upon a complicated relationship between Alex Pappas (Steve Zissis) and Tina (Amanda Peet).
I also emailed the company making these cameras and they confirmed that these cameras don’t record on their own. It’s not their primary use. Maybe the CG should hire someone to do the recording but as it stands this is not possible, unlike a dashboard camera on a steady highway/road or street camera
“Don’t know who I descend from!? Hercules, Apollo, Ajax, Achilles, Agamemnon. We invented everything: democracy, math science, music, medicine. You would be f* lucky to have my Hellenic jizz.” @stevezissis on “Togetherness” (HBO)
