In theory, there has never been a better time to be a movie fan. The ubiquity of streaming platforms means that films are more accessible than ever before. One click, and we can be transported to any country, genre or period. Or at least, that’s the idea. In practice, it’s not quite as simple as all that.

Last year, I was privileged to be invited for the first time by our publisher-editor Victor Fraga to attend the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival. This year I’m back again, the major difference being that I have some idea of what to expect. Superb, superfast broadband while I’m there, for a start. Clean air and near- or sub-zero weather conditions (although I confess I haven’t yet checked the weather forecast). And great hospitality.

Floating Friday evening on the Croisette, an air of Middle Earth. To open its sixth edition, the Canneséries festival awarded its revelation prize to Morfydd Clark. In Amazon Prime's blockbuster series The Rings of Power, a prelude to the events depicted by Tolkien inThe Lord of the Rings, the Welsh comedian appropriates the character of Galadriel. The future great and wise elven queen of Peter Jackson's trilogy, played by Cate Blanchett.

In 1991, as a film student, I was offered £50 by a German women’s collective to shoot Muriel Box. But when the documentary director and I arrived at her home we were told that she was too ill to see us. She died a few months later aged 85. While I regret never meeting her, I’m also relieved. How terrible to have shown even a glimpse of my full ignorance of her achievements, a pioneering film-maker who had fought her way through an industry hostile to women to make a major contribution to cinema.
