This website created by Andrew Norman Wilson as an art project is an open archive with the most extensive and curated selection of films and documentaries. The spotlight curated sections such as Nuncore, 70s American Dystopias or Prostethics are filled with absolute gems. It's my go to geek film platform and it's the best way to waste time in front of a screen. The Instagram is brilliant too https://www.instagram.com/thislight_actually/

A great site with loads of shorts and artfilms you usually only get to see in museums. I can highly recommend checking it out!
I just watched some of Johan Grimonprez stuff if you need a place to start.

on it’s face this is not a particularly interesting documentary, the editing is serviceable and the interviews aren’t exactly dynamic, but what it lacks in creativity it more than makes up for in content. blank city tells the story of the no wave movement in 70s/80s downtown nyc from the ones who lived it. truly one of the most inspiring documentaries that i found at a pivotal point in my life that changed the trajectory of how i view filmmaking, art, and just coolness in general. blank city is the story of one of the most transgressive artist communities of all time and they’re not very well known, just a few names made it to the mainstream with many others becoming underground legends. in fact a few of the films featured in this documentary are only viewable by screening at the museum of modern art, totally unreleased everywhere else (and trust me i’ve tried to find them) this doc got me into the new york art scene, velvet underground, jim jarmusch, glenn o’brien’s tv party, patti smith, andy warhol, lydia lunch, john lurie, jean-michel basquiat and on and on and on. this film opened a gateway into filmmaking that i had never even considered at that point in my life and i’m grateful i found it. the best part is: kino lorber was kind enough to upload the entire thing on youtube to watch right now!

Best tip I ever received was how to cook Eggs Blue Monday : boil the water, throw your eggs in, play Blue Monday from New Order. When the songs stops, your eggs are cooked to perfection. And you get to listen to Blue Monday to make your day better.

Living in Rome, you can't escape the Disneyland of Catholicism everywhere. I lived next to Vatican and became obsessed with all the merch you can buy such as glow in the dark virgin mary or shot glasses with the pope effigy. An everyday sacred and profane experience. My personal favorite is to shop underwear in the nuns clothing section...

They are so fresh and cute, her voice is lovely and it makes you feel teleported in the 90s. There's a full album of them and it's like better than listening to a Podcast.
