Bedevil, stylised as beDevil, is a 1993 Australian horror film directed by Tracey Moffatt, the first feature directed by an Aboriginal Australian woman.

The film is a trilogy of surreal ghost stories. Inspired by ghost stories she heard as a child from both her extended Aboriginal and Irish Australian families, Moffatt created a trilogy in which characters are haunted by the past. All three stories are set in Moffatt's highly stylised, hyper-real, hyper-imaginary Australian landscape.

10 Film (non del tutto horror) da scoprire ad Halloween

Cosa guardiamo questo Halloween? Martina Mazzarella ci consiglia dieci film a tema, non del tutto horror, non del tutto mainstream, da godersi negli ultimi giorni di Ottobre. #IlControVerso #notizie #pensieri #politica #libertà #horror #film #halloween

Come ogni anno, ci stiamo avvicinando al Natale. E se le logiche del marketing impongono di predisporre quanto prima lo spirito dei consumatori alla mania decorativa e allo strascico di doni da acquistare, c’è prima un’altra piccola ricorrenza che deve sgusciare via dalle pagine del calendario: prima di riempire vetrine e città con il viso benevolente di Babbo Natale e una serie di luccichii,…

The Ferret

The Ferret is one of my favorite second hand booksellers. This is a small branch of the original Ferret established in 1979 in Wellington city, the capital of New Zealand.

The Ferret has a good selection of books on photography. Not the technical sort but artist's monographs, which I collect.

I bought two books by the Italian photographer Luigi Ghirri - Cardboard Landscapes and Thought Landscape. I also purchased a book of essays by the English/New Zealand critic and photographer Peter Turner and a survey of the work of Tracey Moffatt, an Australian photographer of First Nation descent.

You may notice I mention each photographer's cultural heritage. We carry cultural memory deep inside us, and so many generations of that inheritance. It's meaningful to me personally and informs my understanding of others. The French blood of my farming ancestors called me to the countryside, my Scottish blood makes me a capable stone wall builder and adept at the swing of an axe.

It's relevant to say that the poet Allen Curnow, who in 1941 wrote the poem Wild Iron, was a New Zealander. He reveals his cultural identity, to me at least, in his sparse use of language and in writing about nature. It was lovely to see the poem hanging on the wall of the Ferret. I was very taken by it. The iron he writes about is corrugated iron, a ubiquitous building material in colonial New Zealand. The roof of my barn is clad with Belgium "iron", imported by settlers in the early 1890's.

But the poem is not about "iron", it's about the weather. The Southern gales were once 5 to 7 days long when I was growing up here. Straight from Antarctica, a hail of horizontal ice and rain. Wellington city once had ropes on strategic street corners to which pedestrians would have to cling to stay on their feet. That weather has gone, to be replaced by sudden and dramatic weather events that take lives.

A few nights ago I was woken by the sound of the lemon tree outside my bedroom window hitting the side of the house, its leafed branches scratching at my window panes. For one hour the Southern gale blew then died away. It is becoming a memory, like so much that we have and are about to lose.

I was young when I planted that tree more than 35 years ago.

I am still here. Don't worry. I will take care of you.

I really enjoy your taste in media, recs for movies that will leave me in the floor sobbing?

Thank you sm!! i am what we call a film enjoyer so it means a lot

Kinda a normie picks in that you've probably already seen them but i legally have to say Brokeback Mountain and Moonlight like come on

Also kinda normie but Carrie makes me cry like a little baby. One of the most tragic mother/daughter relationships ever put to screen.

Speaking of mother daughter trauma Night Cries: A Rural Tragedy is a short film about an aboriginal woman taking care of her elderly white mother. Tracey Moffatt the director said it was about "loving and hating your mother" which yeah. it sure is!

Goodbye Lenin! is one of my faves of all time. It's a German dramady about a guy trying to keep his ill avid communist mother from realizing the iron curtain has fallen so that she doesn't have another heart attack. Just a deeply human film to me. will make you laugh and cry

MANDATORY FRENCH NEW WAVE DROP!!! Cleo from 5 to 7 is about a woman wandering the city while she waits for her cancer test results.

If you are ACTUALLY 100% SERIOUS about being on the floor sobbing. You must be mentally prepared for this one I'm serious. Silverlake Life: the view from here is a documentary about a film teacher documenting his lover dying of aids. One of the most important movies ever made IMO and I recommend everyone see it at some point in their lives but one I have only been able to watch once because it is so deeply affecting. Everyone who has seen this film has had a similar experience to me where for a long period after it feels impossible move on or even speak to people who haven't seen it because it really does make you feel like you're grieving yourself.

#im sure as usual that i am forgetting smth but it is what it is #warlock wartalks

New Horror 2023 - Day 31

"Why are you in such a hurry to be old?"

"Bloodchild" by Octavia Butler (1984)

Doesn't take much to just roll with it, does it?

💀💀💀

"So, who d'you want done?"

"Fair Ground" by Jo Duffy, Mike Manley, Jackson Guice, James Fry, Kevin Cunningham (1992)

Something always catches up.

💀💀💀

"We could've helped that child."

Bedevil dir. Tracey Moffatt (1993)

We need more surreal expressionism in set design. That alone lends a movie those spooky vibes.

💀💀💀

"This one's gonna make you have to change your chonies."

Regular Show - "Terror Tales of the Park" I-VI (2011-2016)

I've never watched a regular episode of Regular Show, but I get the sense that the Halloween specials aren't all that out of the ordinary.

💀💀💀

"Oh, you know kids. Still missin'."

The Simpsons - "Treehouse of Horror Presents: Not It" (2022)

Hm, sticking too close to the source material is a longtime problem with their parodies, and this one certainly suffers for it.

💀💀💀

"C’mon, how powerful could a god from a dump like this be?"

Silent Hill 3 dev. Konami (2003)

The first half kind of drags before it finally gets to the titular setting, then it's surreal melty wall terror. That makes up for the slow start and cements it as another great entry. I'll be back for the next one in 2024.

💀💀💀

"So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit."

Five Nights at Freddy's dev. Scott Cawthon (2014)

I always avoided this one because the jumpscare gameplay wasn't for me, but I figured I had to at least see the first one through to the end. I don't know that I can recommend it what with Cawthon's problematic nonsense, but it's an interesting product from an indie dev of the time.

Tracey Moffatt [no title], 1997

Moffatt is a photographer who explores her own memories and identity as a lot of her work is biographical. As part of her Mothers Day series, Moffatt explores the relationship between herself and her own mother.

I like how her work shows people in action, like they are images of moments frozen in time.

Tracey Moffatt’s Up in the Sky series presents a loose narrative set in an Australian outback town, implying commentary on Australian race relations between Indigenous and non Indigenous people. — Roslyn Oxley9

[meansealevel]

I dont know much about tracey moffatt but on some level this scarred for life series is fun for me because i like imagining that the images were made without specificity in mind or 'for fun' and then later the short narrative that accompanies the image was added later

Im also just really into words with pictures lately
