Le Cinema Club

Le Cinéma Club is a free streaming platform presenting one handpicked film each week, celebrating emerging voices and rare gems with global access.

I love getting their weekly pick in my inbox, and while I don’t always make the cut-off to watch the films (you have 7 days) their taste is impeccable and offers an instant watch list for life.

AFTERNOON CLOUDS a film by PAYAL KAPADIA

An early, painterly short by the budding filmmaker behind All We Imagine as Light, this year’s Grand Prix Winner at Cannes.

Art

I came across the work of artist Erica Baum, which led me to the NYC art gallery Bureau, which led me to the work of artist Tom Thayer, which led me into a 3 hour transcendent rabbit hole where I emerged obsessed with Erica Baum, Bureau and Tom Thayer.

Erica Baum, Minotaur Grey, 2023 (Fabrications) Archival pigment print 16 × 16 in.

Tom Thayer, The Universe Flows Out Around Everything, 2021, Felt-tip pen, collage, and tape on paper, 8 ¼ × 11 ½ in. (20.96 × 29.21 cm)

A Book (That Continues to Haunt Me).
