Britney Spears’ fans have been wondering if life after the conservatorship means that the pop princess will make a return to music, this time on her own terms. Unfortunately, she has no current plans to do so, according to her upcoming memoir The Woman in Me.

The New York Times reports that Spears speaks candidly about how the conservatorship squashed all of her motivation to continue making music. “My music was my life, and the conservatorship was deadly for that; it crushed my soul,” she writes. Spears goes on to...

These are films that mostly played small festivals, such as Prismatic Ground, the new Light Matter festival in Alfred, New York, or Mark McElhatten’s “Carte Blanche” program at MoMA. Others, to my knowledge, have not yet debuted in North America. This piece intends to draw your attention to these films (although you may have already seen some of them), and to make a case on their behalf.I have started writing this piece several times, and each time I have scrapped my introductory remarks. In one draft, I talked about those festivals in some depth. In another, I briefly analyzed the 2021 selections for the New York Film Festival’s Projections program, conjecturing about the prevalence of essay films as part of a backlash against formalism. In another, I talked about Gramsci and hegemony,...
