Bringing 2025 to a close with torture and existential angst, don't say I go off brand.

Forty years in the fictional life of a man without qualities.

I was very lucky to get to interview Carlo Pangalangan Labrador from the 'Movie Food' podcast. We spoke about three films: 'The Last of the Mohicans', 'The Commitments' and Akira Kurasawa's 'Dreams' and a lot more besides.

We have been trying to organise this chat for a while and it didn't disappoint.

PINNLAND EMPIRE: CARLO PANGALANGAN LABRADOR'S THOUGHTS ON SAMUEL BECKETT'S FILM

It was my pleasure to attend the NOLI Festival on October the 12th 2025 at the Et Cetera Theatre in Camden, London.

Here are some reflections from Billy Stanton (friend of the podcast and one of the organisers), a few short interviews from the night and a quick afterword from me.

NOLI is providing a home for films that might be too intense, too strange, too home-made, too long, too short... for other festivals.

It was a wonderful night with kindred spirits and an excellent programme.

If you care about film as a living art form festivals like NOLI are a must have and, in that spirit, I would be extra grateful if you could share this episode far and wide.

If you get the chance to attend next time, it would be great to see you there.
