Happy #TBT to this iconic camera test photo of Pedro Almodóvar that we found in the #Panavision archives! What's your favorite Pedro Almodóvar movie? 🎥🌈
I don't know too much about his body of work. However, I LOVE this shot. I'm willing to bet my bottom dollar too that if this gearhead was properly taken care of over the years then it should still be working. And thats why gearheads cost 40k LOL

#ThrowBackThursday This week, we've dug into the JPH collection and located another excellent film analysis; Hank Nelson's 'Kokoda: Pushing the Front Line', https://buff.ly/3Yj8asa
Abstract: From the release of Damien Parer's Kokoda Frontline in 1942, there have been several high quality documentary films and many popular and scholarly histories on the battles on the Kokoda Track, but until Alister Grierson's Kokoda of 2006 there was no feature film. Initially well received by an Australian public, Kokoda raises several important questions for historians. Makers of films on historical events properly draw on contemporary images: they are evocative of a time and place, guides to all that detail of dress, manners and possessions that take a crew so long to get right and that the pedantic delight in criticising, and they provide templates for shot composition. But the images in films are not subjected to the same scrutiny that historians apply to written sources. In Grierson's Kokoda, images are drawn from somewhere on the Track and relocated and, in one case, taken from another battle and another place. Film critics were concerned with placing Kokoda within the history of war films and evaluating it against other war films. When film critics considered whether Kokoda was ‘real’ or ‘convincing’, they were judging whether the behaviour of soldiers in battle moved and engaged an audience. Almost no film critics considered the film's accuracy as history, and it does repeat many popular errors about the Kokoda battles. Finally, it is interesting to consider what has been omitted and whether this has been the inevitable consequence of reducing an event spread over 100 kilometres of Track and several months to 92 minutes of film time, and whether the choices have diminished the end product as film or as history. More historians need to make themselves familiar with film and engage more readily in the public evaluation of those films claimed to be based on ‘true’ stories and illuminating what have come to be accepted as determining events in national histories.

I am beyond proud to have played a role in representing commercial partnerships for The Glassworker, Pakistan's first hand-drawn animated feature film. This film is a monumental achievement, and I’m excited to share this 90-minute documentary that showcases the relentless passion that brought this vision to life.
While I’ve known about Usman Riaz for years, my admiration for him soared as we worked together on the buildup to the film’s Pakistan launch. His drive and focus on creating something truly original has set a new benchmark. Despite all odds, The Glassworker continues to shine in cinemas, earning well-deserved appreciation.
Usman embodies the principle of 'work first, promote later', a mindset we desperately need in Pakistan, where early promotion often overshadows the substance of creation. His journey of turning the 'impossible' into reality is a story that transcends the film itself—it’s a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when we dedicate ourselves fully to our craft.
This is not just the success of a film, it’s the beginning of a new era of creativity, original thought, and a mindset shift. I hope The Glassworker inspires others to break boundaries, think bigger, and dream bolder.
A special acknowledgment goes to Geo Network led by Mir Ibrahim, whose partnership with The Glassworker was groundbreaking. Geo didn’t just become a classic 'media partner', they redefined how films in Pakistan should be promoted. Even after 17 years in this industry, I can say with confidence that the promotion strategy Geo crafted for this film is a master class in it self.

Future project: One minute short film «Dada» (US, 2024)
Synopsis:
"Dada" is a one-minute experimental short film that immerses viewers in the chaotic and provocative essence of Dadaism. Directed and produced by Kostiantyn Mishchenko, the film reflects the avant-garde movement's core principles: irrationality, cynicism, and the rejection of traditional aesthetic values. Born from the aftermath of World War I, Dadaism denounced the rationalism and logic that led to devastating conflicts, advocating for a radical deconstruction of established art forms. This film captures the spirit of Dadaism, serving as both an anti-war statement and a critique of bourgeois norms, aligning itself with the radical leftist ideologies of anarchism.
