The History Boys - documentary about making of the film

[grinchwrapsupreme]

So sweet actually that at some point Scripps, a student dedicated to journalism, at some point decided “yeah i’ll play piano accompaniment to whatever song my littlest friend wants to sing love-sickly in public at our mutual friend for the whole semester and perhaps beyond” and just played the shit out of whatever music was handed to him

Socially Distanced Dirk

One of our fellow Dirktectives u/yunafires on reddit (and I believe @yunafire on tumblr) provided a link to the screen recording she took of the short on Thursday. Thank you so much! She gave me permission to share it on here as well. Of course, ownership to the original creators, but I know many of us (including myself) purchased tickets to the lecture intending to watch it later and are unable to now due to the recording issues they had.

Here is the link to the video on her Vimeo.

Enjoy and thank you again Yunafire!

Also for those of you that need a written transcript, I wrote one up on this post here!

If this little book should see the light after its 100 years of entombment, I would like its readers to know that the author was a lover of her own sex and devoted the best years of her life in striving for the political equality and social and moral elevation of women.

“The Great Geysers of California” by Laura De Force Gordon, 1879, unearthed from a 100-year-old time capsule in San Francisco, 1979.

“Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all our letters could be published in the future in a more enlightened time. Then all the world could see how in love we are.”

Gordon Bowsher to Gilbert Bradley, 1940s

“I imagine poets stitching the world together. Long silver threads of text. Lines prompting reading, dreaming minds not to see every thing by itself and separate, but to see the seams often unseen in the dark expanses across space and time. This is, perhaps, a kind of sorcery. A power not to wield, but to hold. To practice holding.”

— Ellie A. Rogers, from “Movements,” Ecotone: Reimagining Place (Fall/winter 2017)
