Spellbound watching pigeons racing from a rooftop in Old Delhi last week – took me right back to my childhood when the men of my street (‘pigeon-fanciers’) also raced pigeons, and there would be such excitement among us all when the birds started to arrive home. They call it Kabootabazi in India, but it’s a pastime (and means of communication) that has been enjoyed and put to good use for thousands of years all over the world. How amazing that they find their way home over hundreds of miles. Watching them wheel and turn over our heads brings back so many memories of my childhood, and also of the wondrous feeling of childhood dreams of flying.

Hahaha Happy #WineWednesday!
Throwback to the launch of Brand New Day. Watch this space for our new collection of @ilpalagiointuscany wines!
Ah, the Friday after the Oscar nominations are announced…. so much to say! I fear until we see overall parity among the directors hired to direct our top performing films, it will be impossible to see parity in these awards. Yet there are so many accomplishments worth focusing our attention to, as we store up the energy needed to work towards greater equality in Hollywood. I applaud all my fellow women in film, nominated and not.
Now, let us celebrate:
@justine.triet, for directing Anatomy of a Fall
starring fellow @berlinale jury member and Best Actress nominee, Sandra Hüller 🎥
Greta Gerwig, Samy Burch, and Celine Song for their beautiful screenplays ✍️
The always genius Thelma Schoonmaker for editing Killers of the Flower Moon and Jennifer Lame (@jenlame1) for Oppenheimer 🖥️
And I have to mention the accomplishment of @lilygladstone, now the first Native North American nominated as Best Actress. This alone makes 2024 an historic year.
Lastly, cheers to the many female producers nominated, with a special shout out Margot Robbie for her ingenious efforts behind Barbie and to Christine Vachon (@kvpi) on her first nomination after a 35 year career producing complex and underrepresented stories.

Today, I wanted to share with you a much loved project supported by the @rainforest_fund 🌱. It caught my attention last year for its outstanding contribution towards protecting the world’s rainforest, its inhabitants and its precious resources. The Kaibi indigenous community living in the Amazon’s Xingu Park are paving the way by recording and monitoring the forest’s abundance of medicinal plants 🍃. Painstakingly, the Kaibi have studied and surveyed their land, documenting each and every plant in their ecosystem for its potential health benefits. Their aim has been to preserve and strengthen indigenous knowledge in the use of medicinal plants and the value of preserving the forests. Gaining knowledge from their elders they have created an encyclopaedia of plants and the best way to use them in treating illnesses. This ingenious project has set up kitchen garden nurseries in each of their villages to cultivate the most vital plants needed. This played a vital role during the covid pandemic when locally grown remedies undoubtedly saved countless lives. We have much to learn ourselves from these projects, about the health benefits of the world’s rainforests and its plant life, including the much known periwinkle flower a powerful remedy in fighting childhood leukaemia. We are so thankful for all these initiatives which seek to preserve the beauty of the rainforest, while demonstrating how to harness its magical powers, in a sustainable way. 🌱🍃💚

Really pleased to have finalised with fellow @rainforest_fund Board members this week, the programmes and projects for 2024 support. The Rainforest Fund partners with the very best initiatives on the ground designed to protect our rainforests, indigenous groups and their valuable culture. As always we have had some very strong contenders and powerful projects to consider this year from indigenous communities worldwide, from Brazil to the Philippines, Africa and Indonesia and from central and south America, all with huge merit. Some of the 2024 projects partners are new to us, some we have worked with for many years. The primary focus of the Fund is to enhance the skills of indigenous leaders and their communities in defending their territories and asserting their legal rights. Many face violence, threats, land grabs and other legal challenges. Our job as an organisation is to support them in every way we can with funding for legal advocacy work, supporting their conservation efforts, economic development through community based initiatives to enhance sustainable land management and indigenous guardian schemes. The impact these projects have on the long term protection of the rainforest, its wildlife and inhabitants is considerable. We are eternally thankful to those who over more than 35 years have supported this work. 💚🍃🌱🌿

This week for #femalefilmmakerfriday, I want to highlight Rose Glass for her upcoming film Love Lies Bleeding.
Rose got her start as a student at the National Film and Television School, leaving behind a trail of five compelling short films, including Room 55 and Storm House. In late 2020, she was nominated for and won Best Debut Director at the British Independent Film Awards.
Her latest film, Love Lies Bleeding, delves into the intricate narrative of Lou, a reclusive gym manager entangled in a passionate romance with Jackie, an ambitious bodybuilder bound for Las Vegas to chase her dreams. As their love story unfolds, it weaves through the complexities of Lou’s criminal family, leading to a crescendo of emotions and suspense. Congratulations, Rose- can’t wait to see this one in theatres!
