MORE ON THE PASSING OF TOM LUDDY

On Tuesday The Guardian posted an incredible homage to TFF co-founder, the late Tom Luddy. It's notable for the sheer number of people included and the reverence that is reveled for Luddy. Among those included in the memorials are: Paul Schrader, Laurie Anderson, Errol Morris, Tilda Swinton, Salman Rushdie, Alice Waters and Werner Herzog.

Take a look at the post. It is incredible.
