These collections, which include anything and everything from articles to videos to showtimes, make up my weekly trips of film discoveries, regional and beyond. What follows is what I call The Moviegoer’s Diary. It’s a series in progress, so please bear with me as I beef things up.*** ***Enjoy! :)*** [More Diary Entries, Please!](https://www.moviegoing.rocks/subscribe?ref=moviegoingwithbill.com) --- Local NOLA film fests for March 2023 - [The Overlook](https://www.overlookfilmfest.com/?ref=moviegoingwithbill.com) and the [Black Film Festival of New Orleans](https://bffno.com/?ref=moviegoingwithbill.com).

It’s also a research center and a screening room for an upcoming series that I’ll be helping to program. Above is a short documentary on the project, from its beginnings by archivists Ed & Susan Poole to its current incarnation by Linda Thurman. Consider becoming a friend of the archive [here](https://www.movieposterarchives.org/donations/friends/?ref=moviegoingwithbill.com), and reach out to me if you’d like to showcase a movie. --- Coming to [Fandor](https://www.fandor.com/?ref=moviegoingwithbill.com) soon and currently available for rent is the creatively horrific head trip *The Outwaters*. I first found out about the film prior to a screening of *Terrifier 2* (which was one of my favorite theater outings of 2022). A recent watch, here’s my blurb: Fun to watch and shockingly absorbing. Unrelenting. Dante Alighieri’s Memory Cards? Kinda. A life lived regretfully, flashing wildly before a camera lens. A found footage-absurdity and abuse, but why not? Applause all around. **4/5** --- Coming up on my watchlist: *B’Twixt Now and Sunrise: The Authentic Cut* (a Moviegoing with Bill exclusive review/report) [Gain Access to Bonus Features](https://www.moviegoing.rocks/subscribe?ref=moviegoingwithbill.com) [*Eyeballs in the Darkness*](https://tuxandfanny.bigcartel.com/product/eyeballs-in-the-darkness-blu-ray?ref=moviegoingwithbill.com) (*Tux and Fanny 2*) --- Local showtime to catch: [Wildwood presents](https://www.wildwoodcinema.com/?ref=moviegoingwithbill.com) *The Untamed* at [Prytania Canal Place](https://www.theprytania.com/canalplace?ref=moviegoingwithbill.com) on 3/23.
