Did think of this doc when reading the tweet. Cousins' approach to let the clips speak and find a moment of a director's work to share.
there’s an essay to be written on the ways tumblr — and the quest for the perfectly shareable moment from a film — changed how people engage with cinema as the platform turned 15 this year. pic.twitter.com/OkaEZG54qj— maya cade (@mayascade) August 9, 2022

I haven't bothered reading the piece yet but idk if it's a new way of engaging - artform of images lends itself to visual social media

One way it's different: modern streaming services offer subtitles, so a lot of tumblr-style appreciation of films is based on the text as much as the images.
