Public Domain Day Unleashes a Trove of Potential Horror Reworks for Filmmakers Each January 1st breathes new life into classic works as they enter the public domain, and this year, exploitation filmmakers are eagerly diving into the archives for their next horror masterpieces. The practice, dubbed ‘PD-sploitation’, has seen iconic characters from children’s literature to revered literary figures reimagined as figures of terror, exemplified by projects like the controversial “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey.” https://lnkd.in/eidchmr6 #winniethepoohbloodandhoney #horrormovie

Rising tides lift all boats. Learn how a these key Direct to Audience distribution services are recalibrating how filmmakers think about windowing their releases and measuring success.

End-of-year best-of lists from culture critics may be subjective and gratuitous, but that doesn't stop Michael from enthusiastically delineating and discussing his favorite #movies of 2024 in #TheVoiceOfSanFrancisco: 

🎬 Historical films/ tv series can be a fun and effective way to consolidate topic knowledge for school age students. I loved getting my students to review a historical film, focussing on the accurate and inaccurate parts and commenting on key events or characters that were left out. It often led to animated classroom discussions and juicy debate, reminding students that history is subjective, usually someone’s interpretation of the past and should always be interrogated & challenged. ❓What film would you ask students aged 16-18 to critique in this way? #historyteacher #historicalfilms #empoweringstudents #innovativeteaching

I am thinking a lot about maps these days: how we create them, how they represent certain ideas and legacies. How by creating our own visual maps we can reclaim our power, through creative visualisation and imagination. How deeper visions in mapping, creating maps and presenting them amongst our communities can also reconnect us with the land, nature. Enjoyed watching this film about the power of maps and Zuni culture claiming their culture through the art of visual mapping https://lnkd.in/dhTp-2xp
