My Favourite Tweets

As almost everyone knows, nowadays we have an important medium, Twitter, which allows us to keep track of what happens around the world, and to follow the areas we are more interested in.
I am not saying Twitter has replaced newspapers, because there will always be a different style, and way of reading between the two. However, when one doesn't have time to buy newspapers or to visit their websites (especially because Italian Newspapers make you pay to read the news), tweets are the easiest way to acknowledge the daily news for free.

Here are some of my Favourite Tweets regarding BFI, which lets you know when actors', and directors' birthdays are, and advertises very interesting articles, or short posts. They are very useful when you look for fresh and short news, and they always link the tweets to their website, check the ones dedicated to Stanley Kubrick, Audrey Hepburn, and Lars Von Trier.
