The cast of queer zombie flick QUEENS OF THE DEAD after tonight's screening at #NewFest. They were delightful and the movie was fun. Oh yeah, it was directed by Tina Romero (blonde at the far left) who is, yes, George A. Romero's daughter.

A Friend of Dorothy (2025) A poignant short film that delves into the unexpected bond between Dorothy, an elderly woman living alone, and JJ, her young neighbor. When JJ’s football accidentally lands in Dorothy’s garden, a gentle friendship begins to bloom. As their connection deepens, the film tenderly explores themes of loneliness, intergenerational connection, and queer identity.

Letterboxd diary entry for the film title "We Are Faheem & Karun" in large bold white text, followed by the release year 2024 in light gray. 

Below the title is a row of five bright green stars indicating a five-star rating. Underneath, smaller gray text reads "Watched Oct 18, 2025." 

To the right is the film's poster: two men stand side by side from behind on a rugged mountain path, both wearing long coats, facing a misty valley surrounded by tall pine trees and distant snow-capped peaks. 

The muted poster colors convey a reflective, dramatic tone.

We Are Faheem & Karun (2024) Karun, a young security officer from South India, is stationed in Gurez, a remote village in Kashmir. One day, a charming man named Faheem comes to the check post and meets Karun. This marks the beginning of a romance, which, from the outset, is doomed – Faheem, bound by the societal taboos surrounding homosexuality in the context of his religion, cannot live openly, while Karun, due to the constraints of his profession, must also hide his true self. The film explores the intersection of love, identity, and repression in a region steeped in conflict.

Letterboxd diary entry for the film title "Same, Again" followed by the year 2025 in light gray text against a nearly black background. 

Beneath the title are three bright green stars indicating a positive rating. 

Below that, in smaller text, it notes the film was watched on October 18, 2025. 

On the right side of the screen is a vertical movie poster composed of a 3-by-4 grid of black-and-white headshots of various individuals, each shown with different facial expressions or in different orientations--some upright, others rotated sideways or upside down--suggesting themes of repetition or psychological complexity. 

The film's title "Same Again" appears within one of the grid squares in white text on a black background. The overall tone is somber and introspective.
