Eddington, a haywire dive into the panic attack insanity of 2020, is going to be divisive for sure. I have mixed feelings, but think Ari Aster captures the feeling of recent social media fueled lunacy better than anything else I've seen.

Read my full review of Eddington along with my recap of the first week of Cannes on my newsletter: www.seeingthroughfilm.com/p/eddingtons-americana-l…

One of the things I love most about Studio Ghibli animation is the lighting, it's so consistently beautiful. In these shots we don't see the water, but the way the water shapes the light. This month for my Patreon Film Club we're discussing Spirited Away. You can see my notes on the film and join in the discussion here: www.patreon.com/posts/126436861

Saddened today to hear of the passing of one of my favorite artists. David Lynch will be missed.

I share some more thoughts on what he meant to me in this article: open.substack.com/pub/thomasflight/p/david-lynch-c…

I have often thought about the use and impact of images of crisis, suffering and what they mean, but never before have I found myself on the other side of the lens.

Asheville, North Carolina where I live and the surrounding areas were recently devastated and are experiencing an ongoing crisis. Here's an update video on my second channel where I'll post occasional updates and shorts about what I'm documenting.

We already had flooding and saturated ground from 3 days of rain on Friday when Hurricane Helene hit our mountainous region which is not used to or prepared for hurricanes. The flooding broke all records in recorded history. All over the region power and water systems are knocked out. Cell service is scarce. Everywhere you look trees block roads or lay over power lines. Roads are washed out or blocked, entire parts of towns have been washed away in flooding.

The estimates for getting power back is a week, and weeks for running water. The only drinking water many people have at this time is what is being brought in from outside. Rescue efforts are still happening to evacuate people trapped up in mountains or bring supplies to people trapped in remote areas.

I am safe and well, but it will be a while before I'm able to return to my regular work on my channel. In the meantime I'm going to be working on a documentary about this ongoing disaster and the stories of those experiencing it. The support my patrons and paid substack subscribers means a lot during this time and is helping make this project possible.

If you'd like to support immediate response a local non-profit Beloved Asheville is handing out food and water and you can donate here: www.paypal.com/paypalme/BeLovedAsheville
