Happy almost Valloween❣️Sorry it took us a minute. The world has been chaotic, and we needed time to take care of ourselves and our loved ones. But we are back creating for the NID ghouls.

We are adding “Your Monster” to our Valloween special next Saturday! NID has a new host, @paooooo.cx joining Leslie to recap Valloween and talk about @melissabarreram’s iconic role as Laura in “Your Monster,” a modern take on Beauty and the Beast with a little Glee energy. It follows a heartbroken musical theater actress who finds a monster in her closet and learns to claim her voice again.

The film is about love after heartbreak, learning what you deserve, and letting yourself be fully seen.

📝 On this edition of The Mutual Aid Report, State Senator Robert Peters (D IL 13th District) joins us to break down the current administration’s efforts regarding SNAP reforms and what that means for Illinois residents. 🏘️

We discuss the real-world fallout of these reforms, the communities in Chicago most affected, and how the state plans to continue funding food access and protecting food safety despite federal rollbacks. 🥦🥕

In this episode I speak to London based Film Programmer Philip Ilson. Philip has been programming cinema for over 30 years and in 2004 he co-founded the London Short Film Festival - the UK’s leading short film festival. We talk about film programming, the genesis of the festival and what's in store for this year's programme - taking a deep dive into its themes through music.

In these hour-long conversations, I speak with moving image artists about their work, their creative process, and the music that has shaped it. Each of these artists asks urgent questions about contemporary political conditions and the role of the moving image. We explore these questions, their journey into film and video and the commitment to making meaningful images.
