My first newsletter for paid subs is up and live! It’s something I wrote a while back – unseen by everyone but a faculty – about Damien Hirst’s For the Love of God (2007), how art is displayed, and how we consume in galleries: https://substack.com/home/post/p-154261863?source=queue&autoPlay=false

Once again, you didn’t ask, and once again, I deliver: my Top 20 Films of 2024 – loosely ranked! – of titles to appear on the UK’s official FDA release schedule from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024. The complete list is also up on my Letterboxd, but here it is for your perusing pleasure (starting with my favourite):
Today’s newsletter is about Dorothea Tanning’s lovely The Truth About Comets (1945): https://sabinastent.substack.com/p/the-truth-about-comets
Malia Nurmi – aka Vampira – was born on this day (11 December 1922). A few years ago, for Magnum Photos, I wrote about Dennis Stock’s portraits of “The First Hostess of Horror”: https://www.magnumphotos.com/arts-culture/cinema/vampira-first-hostess-of-horror-dennis-stock-maila-nurmi-halloween-horror-gothic/
