THE DISSIDENTS

We are a collective of cinephiles dedicated to articulate our perspectives on cinema through writing and other means. We believe that the assessments of films should be determined by individuals instead of academic institutions. We prioritize powerful statements over impartial viewpoints, and the responsibility to criticize over the right to praise. We do not acknowledge the hierarchy between appreciators and creators or between enthusiasts and insiders. We must define and defend our own cinema.

Filmcritic & novelist. Guess I write because I don’t talk much. Hate films just as much as I love them.
