La Biennale Cinema 2023 at Venice
Lido
The
lineup includes
octogenarians
Woody Allen and
Roman
Polanski.
The 80th Venice
International Film Festival organized by La Biennale di
Venezia will take place at the Venice Lido from August 30 to
September 9. It is the oldest film festival in the world and
one of the "Big Three" film festivals.
"Comandante," directed by
Edoardo De Angelis, will serve as the festival's opening
film on 30 August and "Society of the Snow" has been
scheduled as the Festival's closing
film.
Bradley Cooper's Leonard Bernstein
drama "Maestro," Sofia Coppola's Priscilla Presley movie,
Michael Mann's "Ferrari," David Fincher's "The Killer" and
Ava DuVernay's "Origin" will make their world debuts at the
Venice International Film Festival.
The Festival is also set to headline
films directed by Woody Allen and Roman Polanski, despite
Hollywood's distaste for the directors due to their
histories of sexual misconduct accusations.
Despite Polanski being accused of
sexual assault of a minor in 1977, his film "The Palace,"
set in in a Swiss Hotel on New Year's Eve, will be featured
in the festival as well as Allen's film "Coup de Chance," a
French thriller, is to premiere at the festival, regardless
of being accused of sexual assault in 1992.
The lineup for the 80th edition of
the festival, which -- despite the flashy names behind the
films -- could have a little less Hollywood glamour than
usual gracing the red carpet if the Hollywood actors
and writers strikes stretch on. As part of the strike,
actors cannot promote projects from the studios and
streamers with whom the union is negotiating.
The prestigious film festival already
lost one high-profile premiere to the labor disputes in the
U.S. in Luca Guadagnino's tennis drama "Challengers,"
starring Zendaya, which had been set to play in the opening
night slot but has now been pushed to 2024. But Alberto
Barbera, the director of the Venice Film Festival, said that
the strikes' effects on the festival lineup had otherwise
been minimal.

Lorenzo Mattotti creates official poster for Venice Inter'l
Film
Festival -
TVIMagazine
Italian illustrator and artist Lorenzo Mattotti is, for the
sixth consecutive year, the author of the image for the
official poster, and for the fifth year, of the opening
sequence for the Venice International Film Festival of La
Biennale di Venezia, this year in its 80th edition (August
30 - 9 September 2023).
The image chosen for the poster this year "is inspired by
the tradition of on the road movies," explains Lorenzo
Mattotti, and in this way seeks to express feelings of
freedom, adventure, the discovery of new territories. I
played with the graphics - underscores the author - to
represent new worlds that can be explored through
Cinema.
We are convinced that there is a great future for Cinema
that looks forward and ventures down new paths. Furthermore,
the Venice International Film Festival is celebrating its
80th edition this year and we wanted to commemorate that in
the number that appears on the license plate of an imagined
car. Naturally, many are the films that can be evoked by
this image, such as Il sorpasso, Easy Rider or Thelma and
Louise. May each of us find our own on the road movie. This
is our wish for Cinema, may it go far and sprint towards the
future. A future of exploration, in search of new frontiers:
a colourful luminous Cinema".
Lorenzo Mattotti lives and works in Paris. He began his
career in the late 1970s as a comic artist and in the early
1980s founded the Valvoline group with other illustrators.
In 1984 he created Fuochi, which was greeted as an event in
the world of comic art, and won important international
awards. In cinema, he collaborated in 2004 on Eros by Wong
Kar-Wai, Soderbergh and Antonioni, and was responsible for
the presentation segments of each episode. He was a creative
consultant for Pinocchio by Enzo D'Alò. In Incidenti,
Signor Spartaco, Doctor Nefasto, L'uomo alla finestra and
many more books, all the way to Stigmate published in Italy
by Einaudi, Mattotti's work has evolved following an
extremely consistent constant.
His
books have been translated around the world. He publishes in
newspapers and magazines such as The New Yorker, Le Monde,
Das Magazin, Suddeutsche Zeitung, Nouvel Observateur,
Corriere della Sera and Repubblica. He has illustrated many
books for children including Pinocchio and Eugenio, which
won the Grand Prix in Bratislava in 1993. He has held many
solo exhibitions including an anthological exhibition at the
Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome, at the FransHals museum
in Haarlem and at the Musei di Porta Romana. He creates
posters, covers, advertising campaigns and is the author of
the Cannes 2000 poster and the posters for the Estate Romana
festival.
In May 2019, he presented to great acclaim in the Un certain
regard section of the Cannes Film Festival, his first
animated feature-length film as author and director, titled
"La famosa invasione degli orsi in Sicilia" (The Bears'
Famous Invasion of Sicily) inspired by the fable/apologue
by
Dino Buzzati.

40
Years of Munich Filmfest: A Gift to the
Audience
-
TVIMagazine
It's
that time again: this evening, June 23, the 40th edition of
FILMFEST MÜNCHEN held its opening gala in Munich. Some
1,500 guests from the arts, the film industry, and local
government attended the ceremony at the Gasteig HP8 venue
for concerts and cultural events.
More than 20 members of the cast and crew of the opening
film "The Persian Version" attended the opening gala at
FILMFEST MÜNCHEN. Among them were director Maryam
Keshavarz and lead actresses Layla Mohammadi and Niousha
Noor.
They presented a culture-clash comedy and cross-generational
portrait that uses humor to dissolve boundaries and provide
a positive outlook during moments of bitter reality. The
film is a story about Leila and her Iranian parents, who
immigrated to the United States in the 1960s. As she tries
to figure out her identity, Leila is torn not only between
her two parents as a child of divorce, but also between two
opposing cultures. It is a balancing act that she learns to
master. As an added touch, the film team put on its own
playlist after the screening, bringing the exuberant mood of
the film to Munich.
The approximately 1,500 invited guests who celebrated the
opening of the 40th FILMFEST MÜNCHEN together included
such prominent figures from the arts scene as Rufus Beck,
Veronica Ferres, Iris Berben and Dr. Maria Furtwängler,
as well as many other film directors, actors, actresses, and
producers from Germany and abroad, along with the
distinguished members of the festival juries, including
Doris Dörrie, Friedrich Mücke, and Sophie
Linnenbaum, and prominent political figures, including
Bavaria's minister of digital affairs, Judith Gerlach, and
Munich's vice-mayor, Katrin Habenschaden.
Diana Iljine took the opportunity at the opening of the 40th
FILMFEST MÜNCHEN to thank her team: "We as a team are
here to provide a platform for creative people. And we do
that with so much affection and so meticulously. That's
magnificent. I wish to thank everyone who has been working
tirelessly behind the scenes for months to prepare this
festival, this anniversary. Now let's celebrate it
together!"
Minister of Digital Affairs Judith Gerlach highlighted the
exceptional standing that Munich and Bavaria have in the
film industry: "Over the forty years of its existence,
FILMFEST MÜNCHEN has developed into Germany's largest
summertime movie festival. And that's not by chance. Munich
is home to outstanding production companies and studios.
Digital film specialists work here on Hollywood
blockbusters. Munich is a capital of filmmaking. And
FILMFEST MÜNCHEN is the glittering showcase of this
marvelous German and Bavarian film industry."
Vice-Mayor Katrin Habenschaden was particularly enthusiastic
about the films from the African continent as well as the
stimulating program of supporting events: "Despite having
turned 40, FILMFEST MÜNCHEN has remained young and
audacious. The program reflects this; it is particularly
wide-ranging this year and includes a focus on Africa, one
of the most fascinating regions for cinema. The associated
panel discussions and places for meeting up are valuable
assets to the Filmfest. This is where the arts reveal what
they can do best, namely bring different people together to
create a community. With this anniversary film festival,
Diana Iljine is delivering an impressive farewell
performance that will hopefully resonate well."
Festival director Diana Iljine also thanked all the partners
and award sponsors for their unwavering commitment to
FILMFEST MÜNCHEN.
For this year's anniversary edition,
the Filmfest has dug into the archives and will be
screening, free of charge, some of the highlights from the
four decades of its existence, from well-known classics to
best-kept secrets. Munich audiences loved the
Oscar-nominated film "Beyond Silence" by Caroline Link when
it was screened in 1996. The film tells the story of a young
woman named Lara, the daughter of deaf parents, who searches
for and finds her own way through life. "Born in Flames" by
Lizzie Borden, "Beautiful Dead Girls" by Dalibor Matani? and
Jakob Lass's "Love Steaks" are also waiting to be
discovered. "Young Soul Rebels" by British director and
video artist Sir Isaac Julien, who came to Munich in May as
part of a collaboration with Museum Brandhorst, will be
screened as well.

Gala screenings
The festival opened Wednesday evening with the North
American premiere of "Kiss the Future," a documentary
produced by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck about how artists and
musicians formed an underground community of resistance
during the siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s, and the 1997 U2
concert celebrating the liberation of the Bosnian
capital.
"We are grateful to
the people of Sarajevo and to U2 for giving us the
opportunity to help tell this special story," Damon said in
a statement. "Though this event happened almost 30 years
ago, we feel it has strong relevance to today's world,
serving as a powerful reminder that human creativity can
provide a powerful antidote to even the most horrific of
situations."
In a separate statement after the selection was announced,
U2's Bono said, "We know U2's marquee is helpful in getting
the lives of these local heroes to a wider audience, but
even at my most puffed up I couldn't have imagined our tiny
role being given so much care, attention and screen time by
[director] Nenad Cicin-Sain. If defiance is
the essence of romance, then the people of
Sarajevo are the most romantic figures. Viva
Sarajevo!"
The festival will
also feature world premiere gala screenings of documentaries
about Carlos Santana (Carlos), Cyndi Lauper (Let the Canary
Sing) and French Montana (For Khadija, executive produced by
Drake and Diddy), with performances by each artist after the
screening of their respective documentary. And Megan Thee
Stallion will participate in a live conversation.
The closing night
marks the 30th anniversary of Robert De Niro's directorial
debut with a screening of a restored version of "A Bronx
Tale," starring De Niro and Chazz Palminteri, adapted from
Palminteri's one-man play (June 17). The screening is
followed by a conversation with De Niro, Palminteri,
producer Jane Rosenthal, and The New Yorker's David

115- Pasadena
Playhouse will receive the 2023 Regional
Theatre
Tony
Award
The Pasadena Playhouse, the State
Theatre of California, is only the second Los Angeles
institution to earn the honor
The prize, which includes a $25,000
grant, will be presented at the 76th Tony Awards on June 11
in New York.
Since the Writers Guild of America
agreed to not picket the event, thus allowing the televised
broadcast to proceed in a revised form.
The Mark Taper Forum, was the first
L.A. theater to receive the Regional Theatre Tony in 1977.
Additional Southern California recipients are the Old Globe
in 1984, South Coast Repertory in 1988 and La Jolla
Playhouse in 1993.
The
Pasadena Play House doesn't lack the
experiences of various crisis. In 2010 it was close to
shutting down when most of the staff was laid off and the
rreminder of the season cancelle while filing for Chapter 11
bankruptcy. Rescued by the generous donors, the theater was
back when producing artistic director Danny Feldman was
appointed to succeed long-term artistic director Sheldon
Epps in 2016.
Founded in 1917 by Gilmor Brown, a
resourceful theater enthusiast, Pasadena Playhouse began as
a community theater. Early success inspired more than a
thousand community members to buy the land at 39 S. El
Molino Ave., on which a state-of-the-art theater was
planned. In 1925, the attractive Spanish Colonial
Revival building, now included in the National Register of
Historic Places, opened its doors
Under Brown's leadership, the theater
drew attention through its programming ambition
Survival
of the Pasadena Play Playhas has been touch-and-go but now
brought a welcome prize, The Tony Award.

Michael Douglas to receive Honorary Palme d'or at the 76th
Festival de
Cannes
" It is always a breath of fresh
air to be at Cannes, which has long provided a wonderful
platform for bold creators, artistic audacities and
excellence in storytelling. From my first time here in 1979
for "The China Syndrome" to my most recent
premiere for "Behind the Candelabra" in 2013, the
Festival has always reminded me that magic of cinema is not
just in what we see onscreen but in its ability to impact
people all around the world. After more than 50 years in the
business, it's an honor to return to the Croisette to open
the Festival and embrace our shared global language of
film." Michael Douglas
32nd Festival de Cannes, time to walk
up those red carpet Steps. Michael Douglas arrived for the
first time on the Croisette. He was with actors Jane Fonda
and Jack Lemmon, as well as director James Bridges for the
presentation of "The China Syndrome." Thirteen years
later, in 1992, the sulphurous "Basic Instinct," by
Paul Verhoeven was presented in Competition. Shaking up the
thriller genre, the film was the talk of the Croisette: it
propelled Sharon Stone to the rank of international icon and
confirmed the power of Michael Douglas' talent. In 1993,
Joel Schumacher's Falling Down was presented in
Competition, for the American actor's third participation at
the Festival.
Michael Douglas will receive the
Palme d'or d'honneur at the 76th Festival de Cannes, in
recognition of his brilliant career as well as his
engagement for cinema. The Festival de Cannes will pay a
tribute to him during the Opening Ceremony broadcasted live
on France 2 and internationally on Brut. Tuesday, May
16.
He reappeared on the Steps only 20
years later, with "Behind the Candelabra" by
Steven Soderbergh. Transformed, moving and at the apex of
his art, Michael Douglas played the famous singer and
pianist Liberace. But his history with the Festival de
Cannes began long before all this, through his father, Kirk
Douglas, a lover of France and its cinema. The latter had
marked the history of the Festival by presiding over the
Jury in 1980. With the strength of his conviction and his
character, he awarded the Palme d'Or to Akira Kurosawa and
to Bob Fosse for "Kagemusha and All That
Jazz."
Michael Douglas has inherited his
father's love for motion pictures, the kind of love that
gives faith in the power of a film and spurs the desire to
defend it body and soul. "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's
Nest" by Milo Forman is proof of this; it is his first
production in collaboration with Saul Zaentz and it gave him
9 Oscar nominations and the film was awarded Best Picture in
1975.
Michael Douglas has worked as an
actor with the greatest in the industry, such as Robert
Zemeckis in "Romancing the Stone" (1984), Ridley
Scott in "Black Rain" (1989) or Barry Levinson
in "Disclosure" (1994). With Oliver Stone, he won
the Oscar for Best Actor in 1987 for his portrayal of Gordon
Gekko, a greedy New York broker in "Wall Street." The
sequel, "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" was
screened Out of Competition at the 63rd Festival de
Cannes.
In addition to his valuable
contribution to cinema, Michael Douglas advocates multiple
causes. In his capacity as a United Nations Messenger of
Peace, he has been committed to nuclear disarmament across
the world since 1998 and he has also been a longstanding
advocate of gun control in the United States.
To complete the tribute to Michael
Douglas, a previously unreleased documentary by Amine
Mestari, produced by Folamour with the support of
Ciné+ and soon to be broadcast on Arte, will be shown
on the Festival site for two days, from Sunday May 14 at 6pm
to Tuesday May 16 at 6pm.
This special documentary MICHAEL
DOUGLAS, THE PRODIGAL SON shows how Michael, an actor and
producer like his father Kirk, had to embrace their
resemblance throughout his remarkable career in order to
assert his difference. The time to learn how to become
Michael when your name is Douglas.

55-year history of excellence in broadcast journalism.
Reflective of LABF's purpose, the
Insight Award recognizes an individual or organization for
an outstanding artistic or journalistic work or body of work
that enhances the public's understanding of the role,

including 25 Peabody awards for excellence in television
broadcasting.

broadcast in television history, the program has finished
among Nielsen's annual top-10 highest-rated programs for a
record 23 consecutive seasons. During the 2021-2022 season,
"60 Minutes" finished as the week's top-rated primetime
broadcast seven times. Currently in its 55th season, "60
Minutes" airs on Sunday nights on CBS and is available for

program. Owens was named executive producer in February 2019
after previously serving as executive director and a senior
producer of the program for 12 years. During his 35-year

few. He was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters
by Towson University, his alma mater, in May 2012.

for broadcast journalism during its historic run, enriching
the lives of generations of Americans with its coverage of
the events, people and stories that shape our lives," said

presented by the International Jury to films in the
Competition and belong to the most renowned awards in the

After a celebratory start, the 2023
Berlinale was delighted to report a lively audience
interest. Full cinemas, glamourous Red Carpets and numerous
prominent guests marked the first part of the Berlinale. The
latest highlight was the awarding of the Honorary Golden

Spielberg. In front of a standing ovation of an audience of
1,600, he accepted the prestigious award after a laudatory
speech given by U2 singer Bono at the Berlinale Palast.

ovation lasting several minutes.
"If this honor means that my work has
found a home in Germany, then tonight, I feel like I'm home
too," Spielberg said (via Variety). "This honor has
particular meaning for me because I'm a Jewish director. I'd
like to believe that this is a small moment in a much
larger, ongoing effort of healing the broken places of
history &endash; what Jews call Tikkun Olam, the repairing
and restoring of the world."

Berlin Film Festival reveals addictions to
politics
Climate
activists glue themselves to Berlinale's red
carpet
BERLIN, Feb 16 -- The 73rd Berlin
International Film Festival is in full swing and kicked off
with politics,
one cinematic low and a memorable high.
A man and a woman glued themselves to
the red carpet at the opening of Berlin's film festival on
Thursday, calling on the German government and society to
take more action to fight climate change.
The
two activists glued themselves to the carpet after the
arrival of film stars at the Berlinale Palast for the
festival's opening ceremony, featuring a video address by
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and the premier of
"She Came To Me", directed by U.S. director Rebecca
Miller.
The Last Generation group, which was
behind the protest, said the current government and society
are the last ones left with a chance of preventing the
course to a climate hell with billions of deaths.
"Advertising for sustainability on a
small scale, like the Berlinale does, is important, but it
will not save us on its own. We need to turn things around
now," Raphael Voellmy, one of the activists, said in a
statement.
"If we continue escaping from
reality, we will tear the first climate tipping points and
unleash a deadly avalanche from which there is no escape,"
Lisa Winkelmann, the other activist, said.
The protest did not interrupt the
festival's opening ceremony.
Let's start with the politics...The topic was discussed
during the opening jury press
conference.
The festival has never been shy about
its political leanings and how engaged it is with current
events. This 73rd festival was all about that from the
get-go. It's no surprise, as Russia's war on Ukraine
continues to rage on and Iranian citizens continue to be
imprisoned and executed by a regime determined to destroy
human rights and freedom of
speech.
The Berlinale has already announced a
series of special events planned, including panel
discussions and red-carpet protests in solidarity with the
people of Ukraine and Iran. Artistic director Carlo Chatrian
said the Berlinale would be a celebration of the "catalysing
and revolutionary notion of cinema which unites even when it
divides."
Very early on, jury president Kristen
Stewart - at 32 the youngest president in the festival's
history - made some interesting remarks on the fact that we
are currently living "in the most reactive, emotionally
whiplashed time" and how the job of an artist is "to take a
disgusting and ugly thing and transmute it, put it through
your body and pop out something more beautiful and more
helpful."
Iranian-French actress Golshifteh
Farahani, a co-juror, spoke about the symbolism of being in
Berlin, especially in the context of what is happening in
Iran.
"It's very symbolic to be in Berlin,
a city that broke the wall towards equality, freedom and
brought so many people together. This year with Ukraine,
Iran and the earthquake, it feels like the whole world is
disintegrating - especially now with Iran," said
Farahani.
"In a country that is a dictatorship
like Iran, art is not only an intellectual, philosophical
thing - it's essential, it's like oxygen. Your existence by
being an artist is put into danger. That's why it's so
amazing to be here this year. Art and culture is a fire - we
can all gather together and warm ourselves up. I'm really
happy to be here to fight for freedom, in Iran and in the
world," said the actress. The applause was immediate.
Echoing
her comments, Hong Kong director Johnnie To (A Hero Never
Dies, Election) spoke about the role of cinema as a tool to
counter oppressive regimes.
Come the opening ceremony later that evening, Stewart and
Farahani doubled down at the Berlinale Palast theatre.
"There
are a lot of oppressions against our physical selves. I'm a
girl, but I'm probably the least marginal version of a woman
I can be," said Stewart.
As
for Farahani, said stated with regards to the Iranian regime
that it "lies and executes."
"The
prisons of Iran are full of innocent people," she said. "We
need you to stand on the right side of history with the
Iranian people. This regime will fall."
"The
wall of dictatorship is a thick wall. The revolution in
South Africa took 800 days, ours has been just five months.
This wall is one of oppression, attacking human rights. We
need all of you. We need Germany, France, Europe. We need
you to stand on the right side and to acknowledge it. Call
it a revolution," she said.
To
cap things off, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as has become
his habit during major cultural ceremonies, appeared via
satellite to introduce Sean Penn to the stage.
Seann
Penn is currently in Berlin for his
documentary Superpower, which features Penn's travels to
Kyiv, his meetings with Zelenskyy, and focuses on the
resilience of the Ukrainian people.
"A
logical question comes up: On which side should culture and
art be?" asked Zelenskyy. "Can art be outside of politics?
Should cinema be outside of politics?"
Should sports be outside politics?
asks this writer.
Zelenskyy
thanked the Berlinale for electing to ban creatives with
ties to Russia, before concluding that "culture and cinema
can be outside of politics, but not when it's a policy of
aggression, mass crimes, murder and terrorism."
He
added that the festival was "the showcase of the free
world."

Indie Films at Crossroad
When the Sundance Film Festival last
came to Park City, it was before COVID-19 drastically
altered billions of lives, yes. But also before the
entertainment industry ecosystem of which the festival is a
part was wildly upended.
In general there is an indication of tough times for indie
movies. The unpredictable COVID-19 situation is only part of
the blame. Producers and studios are reckoning with
long-term trends in audience behavior that were amplified by
the pandemic. Moviegoers over 35 -- the prime demographic
for festival selections -- are the most reluctant group to
return to theaters, especially older women, according to
industry data.
In addition to halting the in-person
version of the annual Utah conclave in 2021 and 2022, after
all, the pandemic caused theatrical filmgoing to cease
altogether for a time. And audiences for the arthouse movies
that are the festival's lifeblood have been slow to return
to cinemas in the years since.
"It kind of sets the tone for the
year," said Joana Vicente, CEO of Sundance Institute, citing
the festival's traditional January date and penchant for
identifying and incubating emerging talent. "It's this
opportunity to spotlight all of the amazing new voices, new
films that the team is excited about. And we put them out
there and it's like we are setting culture. We are really
creating the conversation."
"Sundance is a place where we convene
so many different groups of people," said Kim Yutani, the
festival's director of programming. "It's filmmakers, of
course, but then it's also press, it's industry, it's people
who just love independent cinema. And to be able to create a
program full of new films, in some cases by people who are
not household names, to be able to put them into a program
and to launch these films with this kind of nexus of
constituents, to me that feels like a privilege."
In recent years, streaming services
such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+ have
paid outsized sums of money for titles, only for their
nontraditional release strategies and unpredictable
algorithms to seem to soften their impact. Meanwhile,
distributors with a stronger investment in theatrical
exhibition, such as Sony Pictures Classics, Roadside
Attractions, Focus Features, Searchlight Pictures, Magnolia
Pictures and IFC Films -- all strong presences at Sundance
before the streaming services -- were forced to compete with
unprecedentedly deep pockets.
Now, as the streamers trim the fat
for a shifting economy and the more established players face
an uncertain theatrical landscape, most everyone is trying
to figuer over what the new normal might be, or even how to
define success.
The industry's approach to the
festival changes with the times as surely as the topics
covered by the films in the festival, which this year
includes movies about the immigrant experience, the war in
Ukraine and a host of other hot-button issues.
"We change our business model
constantly because the business changes constantly," said
Tom Bernard, co-president of Sony Pictures Classics, which
at last year's festival picked up "Living," starring Bill
Nighy, then released it in conjunction with an awards
campaign for the lead actor.
"The streamers are going to sort of
collide. How many [services] can you subscribe to?"
said Bernard. "I think that you're going to have a new
version of a cable package, only it's going to be your
streamer package. Eventually when the fear of COVID is
totaly over, the audience will be back."

Festival 202, indie films at
crossroads

115-Sundance-
Is streaming the new hope for indie films?
PARK CITY, Utah -
The Sundance Film Festival is under way
since January 20 in a virtual format as the in-person event
was cancelled January 5, amid a surge in COVID-19 cases in
the state brought on by the omicron variant. Accordingly,
the Sundance Film Festival's action is a responsible,
community-focused measure in response to the current
infection rates in our communities.
In general there is an indication of tough times for indie
movies. The unpredictable COVID-19 situation is only part of
the blame. Producers and studios are reckoning with
long-term trends in audience behavior that were amplified by
the pandemic. Moviegoers over 35 -- the prime demographic
for festival selections -- are the most reluctant group to
return to theaters, especially older women, according to
industry data.
Viewers have become used to being able to see a movie at
home as soon as it hits theaters, or shortly after, as
studios experiment with new distribution models. Many former
moviegoers say they don't think they'll go back to theaters.
Most living room TVs and sound systems don't replicate the
movie house experience, but for many, they're good enough.
However, for the little art-house films that dominate the
scene at Sundance, the theatrical model seems no longer
viable.
At last year's Sundance, Apple paid $25 million for "CODA,"
a small and heartwarming drama about a teenage girl with a
deaf family, for its streaming service Apple TV+.
Disney-owned Searchlight Pictures and Hulu paid $12 million
for Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson's music documentary "Summer
of Soul." Those trends aren't going away soon.
The streamers' ability to spend makes it difficult for
traditional specialty distributors to compete for the top
titles. Those companies for long have used the promise of a
big-screen campaign as a bargaining chip with
filmmakers.
According to distribution chiefs a movie with a robust
theatrical release can be more profitable and have
longer-term cultural resonance than a streaming release.
They make money not just at theaters but later through video
on-demand and by selling to pay-cable channels and streaming
services.
Going forward, you're going to have to look at these films
as being produced for the streaming market. That's the only
market for them.
This year's Sundance has the hallmarks of another seller's
market, given the scarcity of available films and the
proliferation of deep-pocketed buyers creating the
expectation of bidding wars and eye-popping price tags,
despite the lack of standing ovations and glitzy socializing
typical of the non-virtual Sundances.
More than 80 feature-length films are screening during the
Sundance program. Nearly 75% of the pictures showing at the
festival did not have a distributor as of Thursday.
Streamers are buying up the bigger titles and there's going
to be a level of competition this year not seen before."

115-The
Golden Globe Awards are back - January 10, 2023
The 80th Golden Globes will air on
NBC starting at 5 p.m. PT on Jan. 10, and will be hosted by
comedian Jerrod Carmichael.
The nominations for the 2023 Golden
Globes were announced by the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn.,
which holds the annual awards, showing particular affection
for films "The Banshees of Inisherin" and "Everything
Everywhere All at Once" and TV series "Abbott Elementary"
and "The White Lotus," among others.
Last year, NBC dropped the broadcast
of the 2022 Globes after a Los Angeles Times investigation
of the HFPA raised questions about the group's ethical and
financial lapses and revealed that not one of the then-87
members was Black. The association has since approved
interim Chief Executive Todd Boehly's proposal to acquire
the Globes, established new bylaws, banned gifts, hired a
chief diversity officer and added 21 new members plus 103
international nonmember voters.

115- The Rose Parade and Rose Bowl game will ring in on Jan
2nd, 2023 -
TVImagazine
This year, the 2023 Pasadena
Tournament of Roses President, Amy Wainscott, announced
"Turning the Corner" as the Pasadena Tournament of Roses
theme; celebrating the unlimited potential that each new
year brings, "The 2023 theme celebrates turning a corner.
Whether that corner is actual or figurative like the
unlimited potential that each new year brings -- we all
enjoy the opportunity of a fresh start," explained
Wainscott. "Turning a corner means rising above -- alone, or
with family, friends and community. This year, as we turn
the corner together, we share in the hope, beauty and joy of
what 2023 will
bring."
Former
Arizona Congresswoman Gabby Giffords is the 2023 Grand
Marshal. Gabby's remarkable recovery from traumatic injuries
epitomizes the 2023 theme, "Turning the Corner" "Almost all
of us have the luxury to face our challenges in private and
many of us also have the freedom to overcome or heal on our
own timeline. But when one has no choice but to be both
vulnerable and strong in public, that calls for a special
brand of bravery and that is why Gabby Giffords is the
perfect example of how to turn the corner."
Each year the Tournament of Roses
selects three judges to grant float awards based on many
criteria including float design, floral presentation and
entertainment value. The Tournament of Roses announces the
award-winning floats on New Year's Day prior to the Rose
Parade. As the award-winning floats venture down the parade

The 11th Annual LA Comic Con Wraps
Up
By Gary
Sunkin, TVI Magazine
LOS
ANGELES --12/06/ 2022 -- Los Angeles Comic Con, L.A.'s
largest event for comics, gaming, sci-fi, and pop culture,
closed the curtain on its largest event ever this past
weekend, welcoming 126,600 attendees, a spectacular list of
celebrity talent, and 850+ vendors and artists that spanned
1.2 million square feet of immersive exhibition space in and
around the West and South Halls of the Los Angeles
Convention Center. The fan-favorite event, which took place
Dec. 2nd - 4th, opened the doors of its main entrance each
day to thousands of eager fans, poised in the South Hall
Lobby awaiting the green light to step foot on the showroom
floor.
Featuring the most diverse lineup of
activations, panels, and star speakers in the organization's
rich 11-year history, this weekend's event offered a pop
cultural wonderland of interactive experiences, panel
discussions, autograph signings, photo ops, dance
performances, cosplay contests, sponsor activations, anime
and gaming activities (and more) to the guests who populated
the annual event in their energetic and costumed best.
Continuing to build on their legacy of being an event By
Fans, For Fans, the 2022 event touched on more facets of pop
culture and entertainment than ever before -- with 850+
artists and vendors selling fan-favorite comics,
collectibles, art, toys, apparel, and beyond.
This year's dramatic expansion of
gaming and anime activations throughout the West Hall, along
with the much-anticipated re-introduction of its infamous
afterparty, allowed L.A. Comic Con 2022 to set an attendance
record eclipsing 2019's 123,400 attendees prior to the
pandemic.
Final attendance of 126,600 guests
represents a 33% increase from 2021 (impacted by mandated
COVID-19 regulations and restrictions), and a 2.6% increase
from 2019's pre-pandemic record.
Additionally, together with Tiltify,
the presenting sponsor of the Main Stage, LA Comic Con
helped raise money and awareness for the World
Central Kitchen, a nonprofit
organization that's first to provide chef-prepared fresh
meals at the frontlines in response to community crises.
"It is always such a delight and
privilege for us to welcome the world's best fans back to
L.A. Comic Con," said Chris DeMoulin, CEO at Comikaze
Entertainment, L.A. Comic Con's parent company. "We work
hard to bring the city of LA the pop culture festival it
DESERVES as the dynamic entertainment capital of the world.
Seeing so many costumed and enthusiastic fans line up at the
entry each day and jump into action the moment the doors
open is exactly the kind of energy that drives us to
continue creating such immersive experiences for fans,
talent, and vendors alike."

115-Sundance-
Is streaming the new hope for indie films?
PARK CITY, Utah -
The Sundance Film Festival is under way
since January 20 in a virtual format as the in-person event
was cancelled January 5, amid a surge in COVID-19 cases in
the state brought on by the omicron variant. Accordingly,
the Sundance Film Festival's action is a responsible,
community-focused measure in response to the current
infection rates in our communities.
In general there is an indication of tough times for indie
movies. The unpredictable COVID-19 situation is only part of
the blame. Producers and studios are reckoning with
long-term trends in audience behavior that were amplified by
the pandemic. Moviegoers over 35 -- the prime demographic
for festival selections -- are the most reluctant group to
return to theaters, especially older women, according to
industry data.
Viewers have become used to being able to see a movie at
home as soon as it hits theaters, or shortly after, as
studios experiment with new distribution models. Many former
moviegoers say they don't think they'll go back to theaters.
Most living room TVs and sound systems don't replicate the
movie house experience, but for many, they're good enough.
However, for the little art-house films that dominate the
scene at Sundance, the theatrical model seems no longer
viable.
At last year's Sundance, Apple paid $25 million for "CODA,"
a small and heartwarming drama about a teenage girl with a
deaf family, for its streaming service Apple TV+.
Disney-owned Searchlight Pictures and Hulu paid $12 million
for Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson's music documentary "Summer
of Soul." Those trends aren't going away soon.
The streamers' ability to spend makes it difficult for
traditional specialty distributors to compete for the top
titles. Those companies for long have used the promise of a
big-screen campaign as a bargaining chip with
filmmakers.
According to distribution chiefs a movie with a robust
theatrical release can be more profitable and have
longer-term cultural resonance than a streaming release.
They make money not just at theaters but later through video
on-demand and by selling to pay-cable channels and streaming
services.
Going forward, you're going to have to look at these films
as being produced for the streaming market. That's the only
market for them.
This year's Sundance has the hallmarks of another seller's
market, given the scarcity of available films and the
proliferation of deep-pocketed buyers creating the
expectation of bidding wars and eye-popping price tags,
despite the lack of standing ovations and glitzy socializing
typical of the non-virtual Sundances.
More than 80 feature-length films are screening during the
Sundance program. Nearly 75% of the pictures showing at the
festival did not have a distributor as of Thursday.
Streamers are buying up the bigger titles and there's going
to be a level of competition this year not seen before."

Is Hollywood
ready for the Golden Globes' return? But serious questions
remain
Last year, NBC pulled the plug and
dropped the broadcast of the 2022 Globes. A contingent of
powerful publicists boycotted the organization and studios
including Netflix and WarnerMedia cut ties after a Los
Angeles Times investigation raised questions about the
group's financial and ethical lapses and revealed that not
one of the HFPA's then-87 members was Black, sparking a
widespread backlash
NBC dropped the 2022 Golden Globes
broadcast "until more meaningful changes are made."
After resisting change, the HFPA
vowed to reform. It was a messy process marked by infighting
and notable missteps: Former eight-term president Phil Berk
stepped down after sending an email to members comparing
Black Lives Matter to a hate group; its diversity consultant
quit; and two members resigned in protest.
NBC is poised to resurrect the Golden
Globes and broadcast the awards ceremony in time for its
80th anniversary next January. The announcement could come
as early as this week.
This would be a major step for the
Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., the voting group behind the
Globes, which has spent much of the past two years
attempting to get back into Hollywood's good graces after
the industry turned its collective back on them.
But many in the industry say serious
questions remain about the organization, casting doubts on
who might participate in next year's ceremony.
Although beset by scandals for nearly
eight decades, the HFPA, a small, mysterious band of foreign
journalists, brandished outsized influence in Hollywood.
Now, the idea of bringing back the
Globes has split the industry into various factions: drop
them, keep them or "let's wait and see."

HFPA to become for-profit organization to save Golden
Globes
Hollywood, CA,
07/28/22 -- The Hollywood Foreign
Press Assn. by vote accepted a proposal by interim Chief
Executive Todd Boehly who has served as the org's interim
CEO since last year. The HFPA put itself on the auction
block in May, and Boehly had been looking to buy the
organization since.
Boehly, chairman of private equity
firm Eldridge Industries, the parent company of longtime
Globes producer Dick Clark Productions (now known as MRC
Live & Alternative) presented his plan during an general
membership meeting.
"This is a historic moment for the
HFPA and the Golden Globes," said Helen Hoehne, president of
the HFPA, in a statement. "We have taken a decisive step
forward to transform ourselves and adapt to this
increasingly competitive economic landscape for both award
shows and the journalism marketplace. ... We are excited to
move forward with a mandate to ensure we continue our
support for increasing diversity in all areas and
maintaining our life-changing charitable and philanthropic
efforts."
.
The new private entity will manage
its Golden Globes assets while maintaining the charitable
and philanthropic programs in a separate non-profit
entity.
Under
his proposal, Eldridge would form a new company and acquire
the Golden Globes assets based on an "independent
third-party valuation firm." The proceeds would be used to
fund the charitable wing of the HFPA.
The
association's tax-exempt status would be dissolved, and the
new association would allow members "the opportunity to
share in its profits, thereby giving them a stake in the
success of the Globes."
The
plan also needs a final sign-off from California's attorney
general.
Under the deal, HFPA members would be
paid $75,000 annually for several years, according to two
members not authorized to speak publicly.
The move comes as the embattled
association has been working to reform itself and get back
on track with Hollywood.
Last
year, NBC dropped the broadcast of the 2022 Globes
boycotting the organization, and studios including Netflix
and WarnerMedia cut ties after a Times investigation raised
questions about the group's ethical and financial lapses and
revealed that not one of the then 87 members was Black.
Since
then, the nonprofit HFPA has undertaken a series of reforms,
including establishing new bylaws, banning gifts and adding
21 new members, six of whom are Black.
In May
Pacific Coast Entertainment, a group
led by former motion picture academy President Cheryl Boone
Isaacs, made a multimillion-dollar bid to buy the Golden
Globes.
Reaching
out to HFPA members directly, the offer included paying them
an annual salary of $120,000, guaranteed for five years,
along with a one-time $100,000 "Pandemic Relief Grant," and
establishing a $5-million-a-year endowment, according to a
review by The Times.

Golden Globe Award winners announced at a muted glitz-free
ceremony
Jauary 9, 2022 - Following the
Hollywood Foreign Press Assn having been bumped off the air
by NBC -- following months of heated controversy -- the 79th
Golden Globe Awards were handed out at a starless, no-host,
lackluster private event in the ballroom of the Beverly
Hilton hotel.
With the event neither televised nor
live-streamed -- and with the media barred from covering it
in person -- the HFPA unveiled this year's winners to the
public on its web site and via social media.
As always the night had its big
winners. Steven Spielberg's sweeping new take on "West Side
Story" claimed the top prize in the musical or comedy
category. Jane Campion's brooding western "Power of the Dog"
won the best picture prize in the drama category, and S. The
HBO series "Succession" and "Hacks" won the top series
prizes, while actors including Nicole Kidman, Will Smith,,
Michael Keaton and Kate Winslet claimed trophies too.
However, none of the nominees chose
to attend the event. No stars were there to deliver the
usual comic banter or give emotional acceptances
speeches.
Where the Hilton would in former
years have been the epicenter of Hollywood glamour, power
and money, there was just a quiet Sunday night, with only
Hilton staff and the occasional hotel guest passing outside
the ballroom. There were no glamorous and high-priced
studio-hosted after-parties, no limousines, no red carpet
interviews, no snapping
Indeed, given the HFPA's
current troubles, many in Hollywood believe the Hollywood
Foreign Press Assn. would have been better off simply
sitting this year out rather than attempting to go ahead
awkwardly with a celebrity-free ceremony.

The
74th Emmys to be annunced July
12
LOS ANGELES -June 7,
2022 -- The Television Academy today
announced 121 nominations in 35 categories for the 74th Los
Angeles Area Emmy® Awards, to be presented Saturday
evening, July 23, 2022, at the Television Academy's campus
in the NoHo Arts District in Los Angeles.
The official Emmy
Awards nominations will be announced on July 12.
The nomination round of voting runs
from June 16 to June
27.
For the first time since the Covid-19
pandemic, the TV Academy will bring back Governors Balls to
celebrate after the Creative Arts and Primetime Emmys
ceremonies. The Academy scrapped the events in 2020 and 2021
due to the safety concerns.
A
handful of minor rule changes for 2022 have been announced,
including eliminating the program time length for comedy and
drama series and further defining what a "limited series"
is. It also partnered with the New York-based National
Academy of Television Arts and Sciences to announce a
realignment of some series eligibility -- moving to more
genre, rather than daypart, distinctions.
The Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards
honor locally produced programs in the categories of Crime
and Social Issues, Culture and History, the Arts, Human
Interest, Sports, the Environment, and Live and Breaking

NBA veteran Scottie Pippen and Napa Wine Legend Dave Phinney
to deliver keynote address at The Western Foodservice &
Hospitality Expo -
By Gary Sunkin
The largest
Foodservice & Hospitality Expo in
the West is taking place from Sunday, August 28 through
Tuesday, August 30 at the Los Angeles. Convention Center.
The expo will showcase hundreds of leading vendors,
demonstrating and sampling the newest food products,
technology and equipment for the restaurant, foodservice,
specialty beverage and hospitality markets. Access to live
culinary prformances and award ceremonies, all under one
roof.
Keynote speaker
Dave Phinney has a colorful, storied history in
the craft beverage world. Twenty years ago, he
took a friend up on an offer to spend a semester "studying"
in Florence, Italy. This trip sparked what would
become lifelong passions &endash; history, agriculture,
winemaking and the profound act of turning something from
the earth into a beverage.
After this epic
trip, Dave moved to the Napa Valley and landed a
job at the Robert Mondavi Winery in 1997 as a temporary
harvest worker. He decided that if he was going to work this
hard, it would eventually have to be for
himself. So, in 1998 he founded his first brand
with two tons of zinfandel and not much
else.
He spent the next decade making wine
for others as well as himself and has since grown several
companies into multinational brands. During this
time, Dave also became increasingly interested in
spirits.
In 2016, Dave started the
Savage & Cooke distillery. He applied all
that he learned over the years in winemaking and took a very
different approach, notably finishing all of his spirits in
wine barrels from his collection of
projects. Dave decided to base Savage &
Cooke on Mare Island, which is renowned for its rich history
and architecture.
A 17-year NBA veteran, Scottie Pippen
played in 1,178 games and averaged 16.1 points, 6.4 rebounds
and 5.2 assists and 1.96 steals during an illustrious career
that placed him among the NBA's 50 Greatest Players of
all-time in 1996 and brought the Bulls six NBA World
Championship titles (1991-93, 1996-98)
Pippen led his teams to postseason
appearances in each of his first 16 seasons and compiled NBA
Playoff averages of 17.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists
and 1.96 steals in 208 games. At the time of his retirement,
Pippen's 208 career playoff appearances ranked second in NBA
history behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 237. During his 12
years in a Bulls uniform, the 6-8, 228-pound forward/guard
affixed his name at or very near the top of every major
statistical category in franchise history. At the time of
his retirement, Pippen was the team's all-time leader in
three-point field goals (664) and three-point field goal
attempts (2,031), and ranked second in 12 other
categories.
The keynote will be moderated by Art
Sutley, Nightlife & Hospitality Expert, and one of the
industry experts behind Bar Business Magazine. As an
educator in the industry, he speaks at many of the top
restaurant and cocktail tradeshows globally. Art has
appeared on the Paramount Network's hit TV Show Bar Rescue
as a Recon Expert assisting host and industry expert Jon
Taffer. Most recently Art has joined the team at Savage
& Cooke Distillery.

HFPA to become for-profit organization to save Golden
Globes
Hollywood, CA,
07/28/22 -- The Hollywood Foreign
Press Assn. by vote accepted a proposal by interim Chief
Executive Todd Boehly who has served as the org's interim
CEO since last year. The HFPA put itself on the auction
block in May, and Boehly had been looking to buy the
organization since.
Boehly, chairman of private equity
firm Eldridge Industries, the parent company of longtime
Globes producer Dick Clark Productions (now known as MRC
Live & Alternative) presented his plan during an general
membership meeting.
"This is a historic moment for the
HFPA and the Golden Globes," said Helen Hoehne, president of
the HFPA, in a statement. "We have taken a decisive step
forward to transform ourselves and adapt to this
increasingly competitive economic landscape for both award
shows and the journalism marketplace. ... We are excited to
move forward with a mandate to ensure we continue our
support for increasing diversity in all areas and
maintaining our life-changing charitable and philanthropic
efforts."
.
The new private entity will manage
its Golden Globes assets while maintaining the charitable
and philanthropic programs in a separate non-profit
entity.
Under
his proposal, Eldridge would form a new company and acquire
the Golden Globes assets based on an "independent
third-party valuation firm." The proceeds would be used to
fund the charitable wing of the HFPA.
The
association's tax-exempt status would be dissolved, and the
new association would allow members "the opportunity to
share in its profits, thereby giving them a stake in the
success of the Globes."
The
plan also needs a final sign-off from California's attorney
general.
Under the deal, HFPA members would be
paid $75,000 annually for several years, according to two
members not authorized to speak publicly.
The move comes as the embattled
association has been working to reform itself and get back
on track with Hollywood.
Last
year, NBC dropped the broadcast of the 2022 Globes
boycotting the organization, and studios including Netflix
and WarnerMedia cut ties after a Times investigation raised
questions about the group's ethical and financial lapses and
revealed that not one of the then 87 members was Black.
Since
then, the nonprofit HFPA has undertaken a series of reforms,
including establishing new bylaws, banning gifts and adding
21 new members, six of whom are Black.
In May
Pacific Coast Entertainment, a group
led by former motion picture academy President Cheryl Boone
Isaacs, made a multimillion-dollar bid to buy the Golden
Globes.
Reaching
out to HFPA members directly, the offer included paying them
an annual salary of $120,000, guaranteed for five years,
along with a one-time $100,000 "Pandemic Relief Grant," and
establishing a $5-million-a-year endowment, according to a
review by The Times.

CORSAGE opens FILMFEST MÜNCHEN

To celebrate in a
fitting manner, the opening ceremony of the 39th FILMFEST
MÜNCHEN was held in the beautiful new concert hall
recently opened by the city of Munich: the Isarphilharmonie
at the Gasteig HP8. This modern concert hall, built onto an
industrial heritage site, provides just the right atmosphere
for the majestic opening film. Marie Kreutzer's CORSAGE has
Vicky Krieps step into the iconic role of Empress Elisabeth
of Austria in a completely new guise. Kreutzer paints a
completely new picture of a woman who was literally and
socially corseted by royal constraints, prevailing standards
of beauty, and her own wardrobe.
Kreutzer is obviously
making a case for Sissi as a woman comprehensively stymied
by the combined forces of patriarchy and court protocol, but
she is not the kind of filmmaker to avoid unpleasant truths.
Her Sissi is a textbook narcissist.
39th FILMFEST
MÜNCHEN takes place June 23 to July 2, 2022 -
Inaugurated in 1983
and with some 200 showings every year, the Munich Film
Festival is Germany's second biggest film festival after
Berlin. With over a million films admitted since the
festivals beginning, this event is certainly one of the most
important for the film industry in Germany. Major
productions, indie documentaries, and short films all find
an audience in one of Munich's many theaters. All films are
shown in the original language, often with German or English
subtitles. There is usually an impressive lineup of live
guests from the movie industry as well. The theaters are
mostly within a 15-minute walk from each other, and public
transportation can bring you there easily. Some of the
venues for previous years include the Filmmuseum, Gasteig
Kulturzentrum, Rio Filmpalast, Filmtheater Sendlinger Tor,
City-Atelier Kinos and Gloria Palast am Stachus.

CORSAGE premiers at
Cannes.
CANNES - With a new empress
Elisabeth, CORSAGE celebrates a world premier at Cannes'
Un Certain Regard and
earned unanimous praise and was circled by several
distributors.
IFC Films has acquired North American
rights to "Corsage," Marie Kreutzer's bold costume drama
starring Vicky Krieps as the Empress Elisabeth of Austria
known as Sissi. In the 1950s she has captured the hearts of
the public ever since she was immortalized by actress Romy
Schneider in a "Sissi" trilogy.
Free
of "Kitsch" Marie Kreutzer (Direction and script) shows a
completely new picture of said empress Elisabeht who as
"Sisi" became an ikone and who now in CORSAGE not only can
be seen in a new light but is freed.

"Corsage" centers on Empress
Elisabeth of Austria, the monarch idolized for her beauty
and inspiring fashion trends. Sissi was a Bavarian princess,
who married the Austrian emperor Franz Joseph I when she was
16 and was on the throne for 44 years. Kreutzer's script
focuses on just one of those years:
Christmas 1877: It's the 40th
birthday of empress Elisabeth of Austria (Vicky Krieps). In
her performative role on the side of her husband emperor
Franz Joseph (Florian Teichtmeister) she may not opine her
thoughts on matters of state but must always stay the young
empress. To stay true to this expectation, she keeps a rigid
plan of fasting, sport, combing her hair and daily cinching
her famed 19.5" waist. But Elisabeth is curious, and with a
zest for live, whose opposition to the oversized image of
herself grows and who does not want to live trapped in a
royal corset any longer. The "corsage" of the title doesn't
refer to flowers on a dress, but the corset that squeezes
Elisabeth's rib cage tighter and tighter. Her hunger for
knowledge and adventerous life makes her more and more
restless in Vienna.
20 years after the film is set, the empress was, in fact,
assassinated in Switzerland by an Italian anarchist in 1898.
Given the character's penchant for dangerous sports and
constant starvation, privilege, frustration and, trying to
hold on to her sanity it comes as a surprise to learn that
Corsage gives her a different end.
"Corsage" was produced by A Film AG production, in
co-production with Samsa Film, Komplizen Film, Kazak
Productions, ORF Film/Fernseh-Abkommen, ZDF/ARTE, ARTE
France Cinéma.

Activist crashes red carpet at Cannes Film Festival to
protest Ukraine sexual
violence
Cannes -- A woman crashed the Cannes Film Festival red
carpet premiere of George Miller's "Three Thousand Years of
Longing" on Friday and stripped off her clothes in protest
of sexual violence in Ukraine.
"Stop raping us," read a message written across the
unidentified woman's topless torso covered in yellow and
blue paint, the colors of the Ukrainian flag. The lower half
of her body was covered in red paint.
The protester also had the word "scum" written on her lower
back, which coincides with the name of a French collective
of radical feminists.
After storming the Cannes red carpet, security authorities
rushed toward the half-naked activist, covered her with a
coat and attempted to block some cameras from filming.
She yelled "Don't rape us!" as she was taken off the red
carpet.
No immediate comment on the incident from representatives
for the festival.
Russia's war in Ukraine has often been in the spotlight at
this year's Cannes festival, which is screening several
films from Ukrainian filmmakers.
The festival barred Russians with ties to the Kremlin from
attending.
The issue of Russia's place in the
film industry, and of the role of entertainment during a
war, continues to dominated the opening days of the
festival, taking its cue from the speech that Ukrainian
president Volodymyr Zelenskiy delivered at the festival by
screen on Tuesday.

setting -- the silver screen -- and that of the Palais des
Festivals is named Lumière!
In 2022, BMW joins the Festival de
Cannes as the official automotive partner to provide a fleet
of fully electric and hybrid cars exclusively, in line with
the environmental policy we initiated in 2019.
Campari will be on the Croisette and
alongside the Festival for the first time. In 2022, they
will open an exclusive reception venue, specially built for
the occasion.
Just as a reminder, with France
Télévisions' multiple outlets and Brut. being

France and internationally.
As a new chapter is about to be
written in the history of the Festival for its 75th edition,
we would like to say how thrilled and proud we are that all
of our partners, suppliers and sponsors have come forward in
2022 &endash; and to extend our heartfelt thanks to them for
their invaluable, unwavering support.
We will see you all mid-April for the
press conference to announce the 2022 Selection and on the
Croisette from May 17 to 28 to celebrate with us the 75th
Festival de Cannes.
« At a time when the world is
going through a difficult period, with the cultural
industries having been hit particularly hard, we are
extremely proud and happy that such exclusive, complementary
brands and institutions have supported us for a great many
years. Their commitment held fast, intensified and was even
maintained over time, regardless of the economic situation
we're in. For that matter, we wished to congratulate our
long-standing partners Chopard and L'Oréal Paris, as
they will celebrate their 25-year continued support of the
Festival during the upcoming edition. »

Montparnasse Bienvenue by Léonor Serraille who won
the Caméra d'or and whose new film is in competition,

I
have been to Cannes so many times, as an actress, as a
director, in different selections... It is the event of the
month of May. It's a party, where you reconnect with
friends. But it's also the occasion to reflect: What path
did I take? What have others done? What does the cinema say
that is universal, inherent to all times and all countries?
It is all the more intense within a Jury, where we will
feel, think and share together. In this world full of sound
and fury, I am happy and honored to be here to help,
perhaps, filmmakers to emerge. Valeria Golino, Jury
President of Un Certain Regard

Alcarràs takes top prize at the
Berlinale
BERLIN -- The top prize at the
Berlin International Film Festival, the Golden Bear for best
feature film, was given to "Alcarràs," a
contemplative work about peach farmers in a village in
northern Spain.
"Alcarràs," the melancholic second feature by the
Spanish director Carla Simón, who herself comes from
a family of farmers, uses nonprofessional actors. The film
focuses on a family that has been cultivating its land since
the Spanish Civil War and is forced to make way for a
company wanting to build a solar farm on the property.
It is the second feature from Simon, after the well received
"Summer 1993", released in 2017.
Best director prize, both acting
awards and two of the three best film prizes were won by
female film-makers.
The third place jury prize went to acclaimed Mexican drama
Robe of Gems, a debut feature from director Natalia
López Gallardo, who previously worked as an editor on
Carlos Reygadas' Silent Light and Post Tenebras Lux.
Separating them was South Korean director Hong Sang-soo,
whose "The Novelist's Film" took the second place grand jury
prize.
Berlin introduced gender-neutral acting awards in 2021 and,
as previously, both went to women. Best lead performance was
won by Meltem Kaptan for her portrayal of a mother who takes
on the U.S. justice system to get her son released from
Guantánamo Bay in "Rabiye Kurnaz Vs George W Bush,"
while best supporting performance went to Laura Basuki for
her role in Indonesian drama "Nana."
While the 2021 festival was entirely virtual, 2022's staged
in-person events while abiding by local pandemic
restrictions. The most significant casualty was Isabelle
Huppert, who was unable to appear to collect her honorary
Golden Bear lifetime achievement award after testing
positive for coronavirus shortly before the scheduled
presentation.

The Berlin Film Festival kicked off under strict COVID
measures.
By Marie
Ludwig
The Berlin Film Festival, whose scaled-down edition kicked
off on Thursday evening Feb. 10, under strict COVID
measures.
The Berlinale is requiring guests and audience members to
take a daily test if they've only been vaccinated twice in
order to access screenings. Testing stations can be found in
buses around the festival's main theater and inside select
hotels with results back in roughly 20 minutes.
54 COVID Cases are reported out of 2,700 tests midway
through festival
"The
Berlinale's test buses, available for both accredited and
audience are being conducted on press and film delegations
as well as audience members who are not
boosted.
As of Feb. 11, Germany reported 240,172 new COVID cases,
with a seven-day average of 1,472 cases per 100,000
population, according the Robert Koch Institute. Only 55.2 %
of the German population has received a booster
vaccination.
Besides the daily testing and mandatory masks indoors, other
COVID measures put in place at the Berlinale include the
reduction of seating capacity inside theaters by half.
Although the European Film Market is being held online, a
number of industry people are attending in-person festival
meetings and screenings.

NAPTE Miami 2022 cancels in-person
conference
as
Covid-19 surges
The National Association of
Television Program Executives NATPE announced that its
annual conference scheduled to take place January 18-20 in
Miami has become the latest major in-person entertainment
industry event to be canceled due to the current Covid spike
by the highly transmissible Omicron variant.
Just recently major companies
including Microsoft, Alphabet's Google, auto-technology
company Waymo, Facebook parent Meta
Platforms, Twitter, Lenovo, AT&T, Amazon.com
and others, canceled their in-person- presence at the
Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas held on January
5-8th. CES kicked off the annual show in person, however, at
only one-third of normal attendance
level.
Also,
on Jan. 5, the Sundance Film Festival
announced a switch to a virtual format, only weeks before
the in-person event was set to begin on January 20 - 30.
Obviously NATPE's decision to cancel
will come with financial consequences. "Although this
decision from a financial point of view will cost the
organization a great deal of money, that was secondary to
our primary concern, which is to put the welfare of our
members first," said JP Bommel, president and CEO of
NATPE.
"We put a
great deal of safety protocols in place, but it is just not
enough given the intensity of this virus which is spreading
at an enormous rate all over the world. We look forward to
producing a strong conference at the right time and under
the best circumstances and to provide all our attendees with
the greatest value we can offer."
Dates and locations for the next
conference and marketplace event will be announced at a
later date.

Is streaming the new hope for indie
films?
PARK CITY, Utah -
The Sundance Film Festival is under way
since January 20 in a virtual format as the in-person event
was cancelled January 5, amid a surge in COVID-19 cases in
the state brought on by the omicron variant. Accordingly,
the Sundance Film Festival's action is a responsible,
community-focused measure in response to the current
infection rates in our communities.
In general there is an indication of tough times for indie
movies. The unpredictable COVID-19 situation is only part of
the blame. Producers and studios are confronted with
long-term trends in audience behavior that were amplified by
the pandemic. Moviegoers over 35 -- the prime demographic
for festival selections -- are the most reluctant group to
return to theaters, especially older women, according to
industry data.
Viewers have become used to being able to see a movie at
home as soon as it hits theaters, or shortly after. Many
former moviegoers say they don't think they'll go back to
theaters. Most living room TVs and sound systems don't
replicate the movie house experience, but for many, they're
good enough. However, for the little art-house films that
dominate the scene at Sundance, the theatrical model seems
no longer viable.
At last year's Sundance, Apple paid $25 million for "CODA,"
a small and heartwarming drama, for its streaming service
Apple TV+. Disney-owned Searchlight Pictures and Hulu paid
$12 million for Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson's music
documentary "Summer of Soul." Those trends aren't going to
disappear in the short term.
The streamers' ability to spend makes it difficult for
traditional specialty distributors to compete for the top
titles. Those companies for long have used the promise of a
big-screen campaign as a bargaining chip with
filmmakers.
Amovie with a robust theatrical release can be more
profitable and have longer-term cultural resonance than a
streaming release. They make money not just at theaters but
later through video on-demand and by selling to pay-cable
channels and streaming services.
Going forward, you're going to have to look at these films
as being produced for the streaming market. That's the only
market for them.
This year's Sundance has the hallmarks of another seller's
market, given the scarcity of available films and the
proliferation of deep-pocketed buyers creating the
expectation of bidding wars and eye-popping price tags,
despite the lack of standing ovations and glitzy socializing
typical of the non-virtual Sundances.
More than 80 feature-length films are screening during the
Sundance program. Nearly 75% of the pictures showing at the
festival did not have a distributor as of Thursday.
Streamers are buying up the bigger titles and there's going
to be a level of competition this year not seen before."

The Critics Choice Awards have been postponed amid COVID-19
concerns
The Critics Choice Association announced a postponement of
its 27th annual Critics Choice Awards. The in-person awards
ceremony was due to be held at the Fairmont Century Plaza
hotel in Los Angeles on January 9, but due to the rising
number of COVID cases and the threat posed by the spike of
the Omicron variant, organizers have decided to postpone the
event.
In a statement, The Critics Choice Association said, "After
thoughtful consideration and candid conversations with our
partners at The CW and TBS, we have collectively come to the
conclusion that the prudent and responsible decision at this
point is to postpone the 27th Annual Critics Choice Awards,
originally slated for January 9, 2022." Honorary Oscars
gala delayed as Hollywood braces for Omicron
"We are in constant communication
with LA County Health Officials, and we are currently
working diligently to find a new date during the upcoming
awards season in which to host our annual gala in-person
with everyone's safety and health remaining our top
priority. We will be sharing additional details with our
friends and colleagues throughout the entertainment industry
as soon as we can."
From Broadway to Hollywood film production schedules, award
ceremonies, conferences and more, are being cancelled or
postponed for the time being as Covid-19 cases rise in the
world. The AFI Awards luncheon, the BAFTA tea, the Palm
Springs Film Festival Gala and earlier today the Motion
Picture Academy's Governors Awards all have announced either
postponements or cancelled events.

postponed

Golden Globe Award winners announced at a muted glitz-free
ceremony
Following the Hollywood Foreign Press
Assn having been bumped off the air by NBC -- following
months of heated controversy -- the 79th Golden Globe Awards
were handed out at a starless, no-host, lackluster private
event in the ballroom of the Beverly Hilton hotel.
With
the event neither televised nor live-streamed -- and with
the media barred from covering it in person -- the HFPA
unveiled this year's winners to the public on its web site
and via social media.
As always the night had its big
winners. Steven Spielberg's sweeping new take on "West Side
Story" claimed the top prize in the musical or comedy
category. Jane Campion's brooding western "Power of the Dog"
won the best picture prize in the drama category, and S. The
HBO series "Succession" and "Hacks" won the top series
prizes, while actors including Nicole Kidman, Will Smith,,
Michael Keaton and Kate Winslet claimed trophies too.
However,
none of the nominees chose to attend the event. No stars
were there to deliver the usual comic banter or give
emotional acceptances speeches.
Where
the Hilton would in former years have been the epicenter of
Hollywood glamour, power and money, there was just a quiet
Sunday night, with only Hilton staff and the occasional
hotel guest passing outside the ballroom. There were no
glamorous and high-priced studio-hosted after-parties, no
limousines, no red carpet interviews, no snapping
flashbulbs
Indeed,
given the HFPA's current troubles, many in Hollywood believe
the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. would have been better off
simply sitting this year out rather than attempting to go
ahead awkwardly with a celebrity-free ceremony.

Trends
Shaping the Technology of Tomorrow at CES
As CES returns to Las Vegas, the show
will display the next wave innovation that will shape 2022
and the economy of tomorrow. The show is set to feature a
plethora of exhibitors advancing two of the most compelling
technology megatrends of the future: intelligent automation
and the evolution of the metaverse.
CES is right around the corner, with
over 2100 exhibiting companies and hundreds
of thought leaders from around the world are ready
to show you how tech has never been more important in our
lives. Key industry audiences are also showing strong
commitment: 195 of the Fortune Global 500, 77 of
the Interbrand 100, 66 of the top retailers, leading US
and global media and attendees from
159 countries are already registered and joining
us in Las Vegas. We're ready to bring the industry back
together to experience the next generation of
innovation.
The
Expansion of Intelligent Automation
Advancements
in cloud infrastructure have allowed tech companies to
pursue more expansive uses of intelligent automation. This
will be critical as limited available hours and a tight
labor market will require artificial intelligence (AI)
solutions to play a larger role in the post-Covid
economy.
A
mainstay of past shows, autonomous vehicle (AV) technology
will once again be on display with the intelligent
automation technology's entire value chain showcased
throughout CES 2022. From AV chipmakers like Qualcomm to
leaders in AV perception technologies like LIDAR leader
Luminar to autonomous vehicle pioneer and first-time
exhibitor Waymo, CES 2022 decidedly will be an intelligent
mobility event.
Still,
AV technology will not be the only area where AI solutions
shine. First-time exhibitor Beyond Honeycomb is poised to
demonstrate how automation is propelling innovation forward
in the rapidly growing FoodTech sector. Beyond Honeycomb
will showcase their technology that allows sensors to
study a recipe, AI to learn a dish, and then allow a robotic
kitchen to prepare the meal.

115- Microsoft Joins Google, Amazon, and others in canceling
In-Person Presence at CES 2022, scheduled to take place
January 5 -
8
Consumer Electronics
Show attracts 15,000 sign-ups despite
Omicron fear, however 11th hour cancellations are are coming
in.
Microsoft said on Friday it will not
participate in person at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES)
2022 in Las Vegas, joining a list of companies opting not to
have a physical presence at next month's event on concerns
over the rapid spread of the Omicron COVID-19 variant.
Several other companies including US
automaker General Motors, Alphabet's Google and
its self-driving auto-technology company Waymo,
Facebook parent Meta
Platforms, Twitter, Lenovo, AT&T,
and Amazon.com dropped in-person attendance plans
earlier this week, saying they would not send employees out
of caution over the spread of Omicron.
GM Chief Executive Mary
Barra had been scheduled to give a keynote speech at
the annual conference on January 5, during which the
company would have shown its electric Silverado pickup
"We have decided to move to an
all-digital approach with our activation at CES 2022 in
January," the US automaker said in a statement. "We are
continuing with our plans on Jan. 5 to share our significant
company news, including the reveal of the Chevrolet
Silverado EV."
A Google spokesperson said
in a statement: "After careful consideration we have decided
to withhold from having a presence on the show floor of CES
2022," adding that Google would continue to "identify and
support virtual opportunities."
Waymo said in a blog
post that it hopes to participate virtually if possible
at the Las Vegas event, which traditionally has drawn over
180,000 people from around the world to discuss emerging
technologies and party through the night with business
contacts.
ByteDance-owned TikTok said
it would hold a virtual event for partners and advertisers.
Also on Thursday, Intel said it would minimize
staffing at CES.
The health and safety of our
employees, partners and customers is always a top
priority," the chipmaker said. "Our plans for CES will move
to a digital-first, live experience, with minimal on-site
staff."
CES officials said the event will
still be held in person from January 5-8 with "strong
safety measures in place," including vaccination
requirements, masking and availability
of COVID-19tests.
"Our mission remains to convene the
industry and give those who cannot attend in person the
ability to experience the magic of CES digitally," CES said
in a statement. "CES 2022 will go forward as important
innovation for world health and safety, mobility and solving
problems will be exhibited."
It added that while it had received
42 exhibitor cancellations since last Thursday, that was
less than 7 percent of the exhibitor floor and 60
others had been added.
The Omicron variant of COVID-19 was
first detected last month in Hong Kong and southern Africa,
sparking global concerns about a fast-spreading new version
of the virus. Coronavirus infections have soared wherever
highly infectious Omicron has spread,
triggering new restrictions in many countries.

After last year's absence the Rose Parade is back to ring in
2022
Television
Int'l Magazine
PASADENA,
CA
-- The
Tournament of Roses is back. After the coronavirus canceled
last year's event, the 133rd Rose Parade will march down
Pasadena's Colorado Boulevard on Saturday, Jan. 1, 2022.
LeVar Burton is the grand marshal of the floral float-filled
festivities, which will air live starting at 8 a.m. PT / 11
a.m. ET on local ABC, NBC, KTLA-5, RFD TV and Univision
channels, and will precede the 108th Rose
Bowl game, which is presented by Capital One Venture
X.
NCAA football teams the
Utah Utes and the Ohio State Buckeyes will play against each
other in the 2022 Rose Bowl game, which begins at 2 p.m. PT
/ 5 p.m.
Already cut the cord? You can stream the Rose Parade and
Rose Bowl game online if you have a subscription to select
live TV streaming services, including DirectTV
Stream ($70 to $95 monthly), FuboTV ($65 per
month), Hulu with Live TV ($70 per month; includes
Disney+ and ESPN+), SlingTV's Blue or Orange & Blue
plans ($10 to $20 for the first month, then $35 and up
monthly) and YouTube TV ($65 per month).
"Dream. Believe. Achieve," is the 2022 theme is and
spectators (including those tuning in) can expect to see
floats from TV shows such as ABC's The
Bachelor and Fox's The Masked Singer as well
as from brands, corporations and nonprofits including the
AIDS Health Foundation, AMC Theatres, China Airlines, City
of Hope, Louisiana Office of Tourism, Mrs. Meyer's Clean
Day, Reese's and Trader Joe's. Southern California cities
such as Burbank, South Pasadena
Due to
concerns over the rapid
spread of the Omicron COVID-19 variant hundreds of flights
have been canceled this week. The Holiday Bowl in San Diego
was canceled five hours before kickoff because of COVID-19
issues with the UCLA Bruins. A performance of Hamilton at
the Hollywood Pantages Theatre was scrapped on Christmas Eve
-- with the audience already seated -- because of
breakthrough infections backstage.
The famed New Year's Eve celebration in New York City's
Times Square has been scaled back. The New Year's Eve event
in Los Angeles' Grand Park will be streamed, with no live
audience.
But the Rose Parade will go on, with organizers expecting
hundreds of thousands of spectators along Pasadena's
Colorado Boulevard.
"All the planning that we have done has positioned us well
to be able to host the Rose Parade in a safe and healthy
way," said David Eads, executive director of the Tournament
of Roses.
"The overall sense of renewal and rebirth of the Rose Parade
is forefront with everybody. We've come up with a couple of
terms for it: 'One parade, two years in the making,' and
'The bloom is back.'"
The Tournament of Roses is requiring the 6,000-plus parade
participants, including people on floats, marching bands,
and equestrians, to provide proof of vaccination or a
negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of the event.
Parade
spectators ages 12 and up in ticketed areas, like
grandstands, will also have to provide proof of vaccination
or a negative test within 72 hours. Ticket holders ages 18
and up will have to provide photo identification, and all
attendees ages 2 and up in those areas will be required to
wear a mask.
Along
the rest of the 5.5-mile route, where people can just walk
up and watch, vaccination and negative test results will not
be checked.
"What
we're asking is they take personal responsibility," staying
in family pods, social distancing as much as possible,
wearing masks and getting vaccinated and boosted, Eads
said.
There
is some comfort, Eads said, in both the Rose Parade and the
Rose Bowl game between the Utah Utes and Ohio State Buckeyes
-- which also will require vaccination or a negative test
from attendees -- being outdoor events, which health
officials say are safer than indoor gatherings.

Christmas Parade has been a loved and cherished annual
holiday tradition enjoyed by Angelenos, as well as by
millions watching the Supporting Marine Toys for Tots
televised airings of the parade nationally on The CW Network

world. The only exceptions were during World War II from

Autumn
in Cannes By Josie
Cory
AHHH.... Autumn
in Cannes... where mild breezes blow
as the warm Mediterranean sun smiles over this beautiful
spot on the Cote d'Azur. There you can feel a timeless
sensuality, assuaging a nostalgia for the Mediterranean
which since as far back as the 16th century has been a
constant theme in many a Northern European's life.
"Now give us lands where the olives grow," Cried the North
to the South, "Where the sun with a golden mouth can blow
bubbles of grapes down the vineyard row!" Cried the North to
the South (to borrow a phrase from the English writer
Elizabeth Barret Browning.)
"Cannes," wrote Charles Lentheric, the indispensable and
erudite historian of maritime Provence, in 1880, " is a town
where you feel no need to work," and where the inhabitants
were not interested in the world that lay beyond their shady
gardens, or the sheltered balconys of their hotels. Now the
world has come to Cannes, chosen to be the Mediterranean
headquarters for its annual events, and when you stroll
along the Croisette on some warm October day you will hardly
share Mr. Lenteric's sentiments. Cannes at festival time
blossoms into a cosmopolitan spot.

CANNES, the jewel among film festival
towns
Cannes is host to the annual Festival de Cannes, as well as
MIDEM, MIP TV and MICOM (Marché International des
Programmes de Communication, owned and organized by Reed
MIDEM). It's been 32 years since TVI under Cory's ownership
first covered MIPCOM in 1987.
Although Cannes has remained the quintessential market
place, despite enormous changes in the cinema, television
and social media landscape, it was more casual back in 1987,
of course. You could hang out with studio executives without
much planning or go see a performer in his hotel room and
spend the afternoon in discussing the latest video. There
was no "French day," the interview period now set aside so
French journalists can get their stories before everyone
else.
And many things were simpler. Though
it sounds paradoxical, even getting stories back to my TVI
Magazine -- it was less time-consuming in that pre-computer
age. The festival headquarters had a room where telex
operators who spoke not a word of English -- took your
typewritten copy, grunted something unintelligible and
transmitted it to the U.S. without a hitch.
Since then, Cannes has only gotten
bigger. Though we now live in an age when films can be
viewed via links and streamed on computers anywhere in the
world, the number of journalists covering the 4-day affair
has multiplied.
Cannes got off the ground after World
War II with the Cannes Film Festival, and followed by tv
markets MIPTV and VIDCOM, later MIPCOM when the market
festival also responded to the advent of home video
technology, including VCRs, DVDs and Blu-ray. As those new
formats drove interest in older films and tv series and both
French and American distributors wanted a platform to
publicize their plans to re-release classics.
Cannes is not just a festival that
screens rarefied films. It also hosts a major market, known
officially as the Marche du Film (established in 1959) held
annually in conjunction with the Festival de Cannes, where
about 4,000 films are shown to buyers from more than 100
countries. Here, deals are cut to bring movies to theaters
in countries around the world or to release them on video or
in digital formats.
This
kind of willingness and ability to literally pay the price
to keep the festival relevant is a through-line in Cannes'
response to challenges. The event's annual budget is a
staggering 20 million euros, roughly $26 million, and half
of that comes from governmental tax funds. The French public
considers film to be part of its cultural patrimony and is
quite willing to foot the bill to be the best.
Part
of that money goes to making the city as pleasant as it can
be for festival visitors. Two months before the event
begins, flowers get planted so they will bloom on schedule.
One of the treats of getting to Cannes early is watching
enormous cranes place huge, blossom-filled concrete planters
into strategic positions along the Riviera.
Given
how easy it is to see films these days without leaving your
room, why do people continue to spend such considerable
time, energy and money to go to Cannes?
Because, despite the billions of
dollars involved, the movie and television business remains
a personal one, where relationships count and seeing people
face to face from time to time is essential. Cannes has made
sure that there's no place better to do that than Cannes.
What was true in 1946 is still true today: Everyone goes to
Cannes because everyone else is there. No other place can
make that claim, not even close.

Bayreuther Festspiele opens with first female conductor July
25
- By Marie
Ludwig
BAYREUTH
-- The annual Bayreuth opera festival has returned after a
one-year break forced by the coronavirus pandemic, with a
woman conducting for the first time in the 145-year history
of the event.
Oksana Lyniv won enthusiastic
applause after conducting Richard Wagner's "Flying Dutchman"
at Bayreuth's Festspielhaus on Sunday, news agency dpa
reported.
Lyniv, a 43-year-old native of
Ukraine, is the former principal conductor of Austria's Graz
Opera and a former assistant to current Berlin Philharmonic
chief conductor Kirill Petrenko at the Bavarian State
Opera.
The opening performance was attended
by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her husband Joachim
Sauer, who
have been regular guests at the annual celebration of
Wagner's work over the years. Asked at a reception later
Sunday about the first woman conducting, Merkel replied:
"Finally!"
Festival director Katharina Wagner
stated that there weren't that many female conductors in the
past, and that it takes courage to learn to conduct. A
generation has now grown up "that is courageous enough," she
said.
Although coronavirus infection rates
are currently low in Germany, the festival is going ahead
with restrictions. This year, 911 attendees per performance
are allowed, compared with nearly 2,000 in a normal year.
Only people who are vaccinated, have recovered from the
virus or have a negative test are allowed in.
The festival continues until Aug.
25.

Bayreuth
The Bayreuth
Festival: also a family history. The festival's
management has been in the hands of a member of the Wagner
family up to this day. A special feature that has increased
the attractiveness of the four-week Wagner marathon
worldwide. This family history, as in any other family, has
not remained free of tension.
The reworking of the
political instrumentalisation, especially in the Nazi
dictatorship, the "Neubayreuth" under Wieland and Wolfgang
Wagner, the changes under Katharina Wagner &endash; they
stand not only for continuity, but also for breaks in the
reception which have one thing in common: profound respect
for the unique work of Richard Wagner.
History of Richard Wagner and Bayreuth
Wagner originally
planned that Munich would be the focal-point of his music.
After being banished from immediate contact with Ludwig II
at the end of 1865, however, he switched his attention from
Munich to Nuremberg, which he saw as especially appropriate
for the performance of The Mastersingers and his other
operas.
Nuremberg, however,
was abandoned when Wagner heard from Hans Richter that there
was an excellent operahouse in Bayreuth. Margrave Frederick
(1735-63), who was married to the sister of Frederick the
Great, Friederike Wilhelmine Sophie, had kept court in
Bayreuth. The young Margravine was active in the arts, and
like her famous brother was an enthusiastic composer (for
example, the operas Amaltea and L'Elliogabalo), and the
Margrave had an opera-house built in Bayreuth, completed in
1747. In its time it was one of the largest theatres in the
world. The acoustics were exceptionally good.
The question
of performance rights made Wagner favour Bayreuth. In 1864,
when short of money, Wagner had sold the performance rights
of his forthcoming operas to Ludwig II. As an enthusiastic
Wagnerian, Ludwig had wished to hear Wagner's music as often
as possible in Munich. On Ludwig's initiative, The Rhinegold
was premiered in Munich on 22nd September 1869, although
Wagner was against the idea.

What makes the Cannes Film Festival
so special?
Launched in 1946, the Cannes Film Festival has long found
itself as an early year destination for cineasts and
international filmmakers. As Brittanica points out, the
Cannes marketplace is also a shining beacon for the event.
"Like other film festivals, it became an international
marketplace where producers and distributors could exchange
ideas, view films, and sign contracts," reads the site. "The
phenomenon of international coproduction arose at Cannes in
the late 1940s."
According to the Cannes Film Festival website, the event
retains its great importance because, "the Festival de
Cannes has remained faithful to its founding purpose: to
draw attention to and raise the profile of films, with the
aim of contributing towards the development of cinema,
boosting the film industry worldwide and celebrating cinema
at an international level."
Now, even with enhanced COVID-19 protections and contentious
salvia tests for patrons, the Cannes Film Festival is still
a key destination for the entertainment industry and those
who cover its moves. This is to say nothing of the famously
persnickety Cannes crowd, which can either boisterously
praise a film after its debut with a lengthy standing
ovation or drown out its credits in loud boos.
What's the best movie at the Cannes Film
Festival this year?
It's unclear as of this writing which film will win the 2021
Palme D'Or, but strong titles in the lineup include "The
French Dispatch," Anderson's film about a New Yorker-like
magazine that stars his usual cadre of actors including Bill
Murray, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, Adrien Brody, and
Owen Wilson, and "Annette," Carax's musical with music from
the band Sparks and lead roles for Adam Driver and Marion
Cotillard.
Can I watch the Cannes Film Festival
online?
While
the movies will not stream online during the festival,
Cannes promises 12 days of live online coverage of
premieres, press conferences, and more via its
website.
What should I wear to the Cannes Film
Festival?
According
to the website Cannes Guide, the daylight dress code is
"fairly informal" and patrons can get away with wearing
business casual clothes or even shorts and a T-shirt,
provided shoes or sandals are worn as footwear. "Don't wear
flip-flops as some of the humorless security goons have been
known to take issue with these," the site reads. At night
and for lavish premiere events, black-tie attire is often a
requirement.
Are Netflix movies allowed at the Cannes
Film Festival?
Netflix has skipped the Cannes Film Festival for the last
three years on account of a rule about theatrical exhibition
in France that Cannes added in 2018, and the streaming
giant's relationship with Cannes organizers continues to be
a bit frosty.
"The only thing is that we have a rule, namely, films in
competitions have to be released in French movie theatres,"
Thierry Frémaux, Cannes artistic director, said this
week. "It's not a very difficult rule to abide by. But
Netflix does not want to abide by that rule, it doesn't want
to come out of competition -- I invited them -- and we talk

Top
Prize for "Only the Animal" (Seules les
betes)
Munich -- "Seules les betes"
(Only the Animals), a French-German co-production, was named
the winner of the top prize as the 38th Munich Film Festival
closed after a 10-day run on Saturday, July 10.
The French-language film directed by Dominik Moll garnered
the 50,000-euro (56,200-dollar) ARRI/Osram CineMasters prize
at the final ceremonies.
"Only
the Animals" tells a gripping, suspenseful, and poignant
story of how seemingly personal actions and interactions can
lead to complex connections and dramatic consequences," the
jury said.
"The
film offers a lot of food for thought, not least about how
we relate to our fellow human beings.
"For
that reason, too, this French-German co-production is
top-quality European cinema of the kind the jury would like
to see more of."
The
festival's 15,000-euro CineVision prize for the best
international film by a newcomer director went to Philippe
Lacote for "La Nuit des Rois" (Night of the Kings), a
co-production from Ivory Coast, France, Canada, and Senegal.
The film was shown in Dioula, French and Nouchi.
"Director
Philippe Lacote's film explores the challenges of
storytelling in a society ridden with violence," the jury
said.
By
coupling the beauty of pre-colonial Africa with harsh
reality and the appropriation of its own history, the
director advances an autonomous African narrative.
"An
unbearable reality gives rise to a 21st-century fairy tale,
a chamber play in a lawless space, a search for values in a
world that turns people into both perpetrators and
victims."
The
awards announcement came as the film festival wound up 10
days of screenings.
In
a new twist, this year's festival concluded with screenings
of six different films at various indoor and outdoor
locations, as opposed to a single film shown at the closing
ceremonies.
Under
the motto "Citywide Live," a total of 70 films from 29
countries were screened as the Munich Film Festival
rebounded from last year's corona pandemic-induced
shutdown.

MUNICH, July 1, 2021
-- The 38th
edition of FILMFEST MÜNCHEN was ceremoniously opened
this evening, with numerous invited guests from the arts and
the worlds of business and politics, along with many Munich
film-lovers, attending.
The fact that the festival can be held again in 2021 is
mainly thanks to its two main shareholders, the Free State
of Bavaria, and the City of Munich, represented by the
vice-mayor, who currently chairs the supervisory board of
Internationale Münchner Filmwochen GmbH, as well as
numerous partners from the arts and the business
world.oughout Bavaria and the rest of Germany
The"Filmfest 2021 can finally take off, with open-air film
screenings 'Citywide Live', 70 films from 29 countries, and
much more. The Filmfest brings back a bit of joie de vivre
and makes the best of the current situation, proverbially
seeing a crisis as an opportunity. For this, I offer a very
big thank-you to the entire Filmfest
team!"
In a
welcoming message, Bavarian Minister President Dr. Markus
Söder also addressed the audience:
"Film and cinema, arts and culture are back! Today's opening
of the 38th International FILMFEST MÜNCHEN is a huge
beacon to the entire industry. Germany's second-largest film
festival is once again showcasing great emotions and
outstanding films. I'm impressed by the amount of creativity
the film industry has demonstrated in order to get through
the coronavirus pandemic thus far. It was therefore only
natural that the Free State of Bavaria should also shoulder
responsibility by providing an additional 46-million-euro
coronavirus aid package. Its success proves that this was
the correct thing to do: in 2020, Bavaria was once again
number one among the German states in film subsidies. This
is important to our economy, and personally, of course, I'm
very pleased as a fan of cinema and films. The pandemic has,
after all, made it abundantly clear that the movies need
people and people need the movies!"
In a new format for premieres, FILMFEST MÜNCHEN in
cooperation with FFF Bayern and Warner Bros. Entertainment
GmbH will show Helena Hufnagel's COMMITMENT PHOBIA in
numerous cinemas throughout Bavaria and across
Germany.
Together
with FFF Bayern and Warner Bros. Entertainment GmbH,
FILMFEST MÜNCHEN will extend the festival experience
far beyond Munich by bringing Helena Hufnagel's romantic
comedy COMMITMENT PHOBIA, starring Frederick Lau and Luise
Heyer, to movie screens nationwide parallel to its premiere
at FILMFEST MÜNCHEN and prior to its official
theatrical release. Theaters across all of Germany will be
participating.
As the film celebrates its world premiere at the Munich
open-air institution Kino, Mond & Sterne, (Moon &
Stars) the atmosphere of the premiere will be brought to all
participating cinemas through the virtual presence of the
stars.
COMMITMENT PHOBIA is based on the best-selling nonfiction
book by Michael Nast. The film was produced in part with
funds from FFF Bayern. Helena Hufnagel's second feature film
(after EINMAL BITTE ALLES) focuses on the Tinder generation.
In this well-cast comedy, Frederick Lau and Luise Heyer are
an "odd couple" who play off each other with a lot of verbal
wittiness. COMMITMENT PHOBIA opens in cinemas across Germany
on July 29. The film is distributed by Warner Bros.

"Dream, Believe, Achieve" Tournament of Roses offers first
sneak peek at 2022 Rose Parade
Floats
PASADENA, Calif. -- As the
Pasadena Tournament of Roses® and our community
partners
prepare for the return of the Rose Parade® presented by
Honda on January 1, 2022, we are excited to offer the first
in a series of sneak previews of floral float entries that
will inspire and charm our worldwide audience on New Year's
Day.
Since the first Rose Parade in 1890, each float entry
presents a unique theme and visual story that bring their
vessel to life. The theme of the 133rd Rose Parade --
"Dream. Believe. Achieve."-- is reflected in the official
renderings for float participants Donate Life, Lions Club
International and Rotary Rose Parade Float
Committee.
The
three organizations' longtime Rose Parade participation,
totaling 85 entries since 1980, continues with symbolic and
spectacular storytelling sure to be embraced
by millions of streetside and broadcast viewers from
across the country and around the world drawn to America's
New Year Celebration.
The
centerpiece of the 2022 Donate Life float, "Courage to
Hope," is the winged Lion of Venice from Italy's Piazza San
Marco, set amidst the Venetian Gothic architecture of the
Doge's Palace and Venice's quintessential gondolas and
canals. The Lion speaks to the Courage and Hope shared by
donor families who have enabled a legacy through their
decision to donate life; transplant candidates awaiting
life-saving and healing organ, eye and tissue donation; and
all who have been impacted by the pandemic. Each year more
than 50 organizations nationwide sponsor the float's
life-saving mission, amplifying the Donate Life/Done Vida
message to viewers and communities nationwide.
For
nearly 30 years, the entries developed by Lions Float, Inc.
tell inspirational stories about how the largest service
organization in the world helps others through humanitarian
services, such as education initiatives like the Lions Quest
program that helps students develop their social and
emotional skills. Aboard the float are two Lions alongside
three ships filled with children, teachers and mentors who
are on a "Quest for Kindness," a value championed by the
organization worldwide. Towering above the riders is a
lighthouse representing thousands of Lions clubs, programs
and events that serve as "Beacons" within their
communities.
The Tournament of Roses is a volunteer organization that
hosts America's New Year Celebration® with the Rose
Parade® presented by Honda, the Rose Bowl
Game® and a variety of accompanying events. The
Association's 935 volunteer members supply more than 80,000
hours of manpower, which will drive the success of 133rd
Rose Parade, themed "Dream. Believe. Achieve.," on
Saturday, January 1, 2022, followed by the
108th Rose Bowl Game.

The 26th Shanghai TV Festival with focus on story's quality
& energy took place Aug. 3 - 7,
2020
On the morning of August 5, the
meeting of judges for Magnolia Award of the 26th Shanghai TV
Festival (STVF) was held, including Chinese judges for
Dramas, Documentaries and Animations.
Due to COVID-19 epidemic, the
selection of the Magnolia Award was conducted in a way that
the Chinese judges concentrated in Shanghai and the
international judges participated online for the first time.
Zheng Xiaolong, chairman of the jury said at the meeting
that the Magnolia Award judges are under heavy pressure this
year. He said, "As this year's TV series first broadcast on
major video website also joined the selection of Chinese TV
drama, the Magnolia Award considers more works with various
subjects. Obviously, the overall shows a higher level. So,
Judging TV series this year is a difficult thing, which is a
test for our judges."
The 26th STVF had collected more than
800 works from 48 countries and regions, among which, 60
works or dramas won the Magnolia Award, including 15 series
from China and 10 from other countries. The five judges of
Chinese TV series have won the Magnolia Award at previous
STVF, even including the chairman of the jury. Zheng
Xiaolong, who has served as chairman of the Magnolia Award
TV series jury for the third time, said that Shanghai is a
modern and fashionable city, with the spirit of contract and
responsibility of Shanghai residents, as well as their
warmth and tolerance. He added, "So I am willing to come to
Shanghai, to cooperate with my friends here, and to do
something for the development of Chinese films and TV
series."
The Shanghai Television
Festival ( STVF), also known as the Shanghai
International Television Festival is the first and one of
the largest television festivals in East Asia. Held
since 1986, STVF has become one of the most influential and
prestigious international television festivals in Asia,
strengthening the cooperation and communication between the
Chinese media industry and the world.
The festival is also home to the
annual Magnolia Awards. Awards are handed out to both
international and national productions through voting by a
panel of award-winning actors, producers, directors and
writers, and are the highest industry honours given. It is
considered to be one of the most prestigious television
awards, alongside the Feitian
Awards and Golden Eagle Awards. Since 2004, the
Magnolia Awards have been held every year.
In
1986, with the commission of the Shanghai People's Congress,
the film festival opened with entries from 16 countries.
There were no awards presented.
In
1988, the film festival created the Magnolia Awards, named
after the floral emblem of Shanghai. It awarded
Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Documentary and Best
Director. Until 2004, it has held an awards ceremony every 2
years.

of Telluride. Now, L.A.'s own AFI Fest will officially
be a virtual event when it takes place Oct. 15-22.
Continuing their Thursday to Thursday
run but moving up a month from their most recent dates in
November, festival organizers plan to have much of the same
programming structure as in past years, including sections
dedicated to world cinema and new auteurs. According to
Michael Lumpkin, director of AFI festivals, where other
festivals are drastically scaling back the number of films
being screened, AFI Fest will likely only have a 10% to 20%
reduction in the number of titles presented, if any
reduction at all. (The event screened more than 140 titles
in 2019.)
The organizers of AFI Fest have one
advantage over other fall fests making the switch to virtual
events -- they have already done it. The AFI Docs festival,
based out of Washington, D.C., took place in June with
ticketed virtual screenings and events. Michael Lumpkin,
director of AFI Festials, noted that attendance was actually
higher than in years past, drawing viewers from all 50
states, without the logistics of theater bookings and seat
capacity.

Los
Angeles Festival Of Books Goes
Virtual
The Los Angeles Times Festival of
Books is opening a virtual chapter this year amid the
COVID-19 pandemic. After being postponed from April to
October, the 25th Festival of Books, Stories & Ideas
will take place as a communitywide gathering online instead
of being held on the University of Southern California
campus, The Times announced.
The virtual event launches Sunday,
October 18, and continuing over the course of four weeks,
The Times will celebrate storytelling with author panels,
readings, and other events.
Over the years, festivalgoers have
listened to Eric Carle read about a ravenous caterpillar;
the late Congressman John Lewis discuss his lifelong work
for racial equality; Julie Andrews reminisce about the Swiss
Alps; Luis J. Rodriguez wax poetic about life in Los
Angeles; Viet Thanh Nguyen expound reclaiming historical
narratives; Padma Lakshmi dish on food and life.
This year, the festival will make
that kind of inspiration accessible from home.
The programming schedule will be
announced in mid-September. For details, go

CES
2021 Canceled Over COVID-19, Moves to Online
Format
The Consumers Electronics Show (CES) 2021, originally
slated for January 6-9-2021 will not be held in Las Vegas,
but presented "an all-digital experience," according to the
show organizer, the Consumer Technology Association (
CTA).
The show takes place at the Las Vegas Convention Center,
which is located just off the Strip and attracts thousands
of attendees every year, bolstering the economy and
employing many along the way.
Industry professionals get a look at the latest and greatest
in consumer technology and products before they're available
for purchase to the general public. Typically, Las Vegas
hotel rooms are filled to capacity and restaurants, casinos,
and other nearby businesses reap the benefits.
"With the growing global health concerns about the spread of
COVID-19, it is not possible to safely convene tens of
thousands of people in Las Vegas in early January 2021 to
meet and do business in person.
"An all-digital CES 2021 will allow the entire tech
community to safely share ideas and introduce the products
that will shape our future. You'll be able to participate in
all the awe-inspiring moments of CES wherever you are in the
world. We are designing a unique experience for the tech
industry."
The digital CES experience will include keynotes and
conferences, an online product showcase, meetings, and
opportunities for networking. It will take place the first
week of January.
Any show planned for 2020 has been
canceled," says President of Creative Strategies Tim
Bajarin, who has attended 46 CES shows. "I don't think we'll
see live shows coming back until mid-2021 at the
earliest."
Apple successfully moved its Worldwide Developers Conference
online.
The Black Hat USA security conference, which provides
security consulting, training, and briefings to hackers,
corporations and government agencies, has moved online; it's
set for early August. Dreamforce, the meeting put on by
Salesforce that has previously taken over San Francisco, is
set for November. And the bulk of the Republican and
Democratic political conventions are expected to occur
online
Virtual shows, however, haven't found
their usual assortment of buzz and media coverage online.
The recent Comic-Con convention, a huge draw for fans of
sci-fi and geek culture, was a "bust" according to
Variety.

2021
Roseparade canceled because of the
coronavirus
PASADENA, CA,
(July 15, 2020) The 132nd
Tournament of Roses Parade will not take place on Jan. 1,
2021, because of the coronavirus pandemic, parade officials
announced Wednesday morning. It's the first time in 75 years
that the parade has been
canceled.
The last time the parade was canceled
since its inception in 1891, was only three times &endash;
the wartime years of 1942, 1943 and 1945.
"Like most people having never lived
through a pandemic before parade officials initially hoped
they'd be able to hold the parade safely but after weeks of
assessment it became clear such a feat would be impossible.
Instead the Tournament of Roses is looking into options for
celebrating the new year in a new way.
With reluctance and tremendous disappointment, the Pasadena
Tournament of Roses Association announces that, in
accordance with Governor Newsom's Phase IV re-opening
schedule, and after thoughtful consideration of the
restrictions and guidelines in place as a result of
COVID-19, we are unable to host the 2021 Rose Parade.
"The health and well-being of our parade participants and
guests, as well as that of our volunteer members,
professional staff and partners, is our number one
priority," said Bob Miller, 2021 President of the Pasadena
Tournament of Roses Association.
While the parade itself is more than five months from now,
the preparation for such a large event typically begins in
February. "In addition to the advance planning required by
our band and equestrian units, the construction of our
floats takes many months and typically requires thousands of
volunteers to gather in ways that aren't in compliance with
safety recommendations and won't be safe in the coming
months," said David Eads, Executive Director/CEO. "While we
are extremely disappointed that we are unable to host the
parade, we believe that not doing so will prevent the spread
of COVID-19, as well as protect the legacy of the Rose
Parade for generations to come."
The Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association also hosts the
Rose Bowl Game each January 1. The planning for this year's
Rose Bowl Game, which will serve as a College Football
Playoff Semifinal, is still ongoing. "We continue to work
with the College Football Playoff and our collegiate
partners to explore what this year's college football season
will look like amidst COVID-19 and social distancing
guidelines. While the safety and well-being of the student
athletes, university personnel and fans is our top priority,
we remain hopeful that the Granddaddy of Them All will take
place on New Year's Day," continued Eads.
"I know that I speak on behalf of our 935 volunteer members,
and the hundreds of thousands in our community for which the
Rose Parade is an annual tradition, when I say we will miss
the joy of coming together and the making of memories," said
Miller. "But know that we will not miss this opportunity to
celebrate a New Year and healthy new beginnings on January
1, 2021."
"We all know what the Rose Parade means to us here in
Pasadena, as well as to New Year celebrations around the
world. To know that we won't get to experience this great
tradition on January 1, 2021, is extremely disappointing.
However, we also know that we must act responsibly to
protect our community in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic,"
said Pasadena Mayor Terry Tornek. "We look forward to
working with the Pasadena Tournament of Roses on their
reimagined New Year celebration, as well as the return of
the Rose Parade on January 1, 2022."
In considering the options for the 2021 Rose Parade, the
Tournament of Roses commissioned a feasibility and safety
report for hosting the Rose Parade during the COVID-19
Pandemic, conducted by public health experts from the Keck
School of Medicine of USC. That report showed that even with
intensive effort to ensure compliance with public health
measures such as six-foot distancing and face masks, it is
likely that Rose Parade activities before, during and after
the event would inevitably lead to large numbers of
individuals (many of whom represent high risk groups for
COVID-19 complications, such as retirees over age 60) in
close proximity to each other, potentially, in some cases,
without masks. This creates a high-risk environment for
viral spread, including super-spreader events.
Although the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association will
not be hosting its 132nd Rose Parade, they will
celebrate the New Year on January 1, 2021. Working in
conjunction with our broadcast partners and sponsors, the
Tournament of Roses has plans underway for a new kind of New
Year celebration for those across the country and around the
world. "Each year, the country turns its eyes to Pasadena
for America's New Year celebration and we plan to deliver on
that important promise," said Eads. "We may not be able to
host our traditional five-mile march down Colorado
Boulevard, but we are exploring new and safe ways we can
collectively share in the celebration, and we look forward
to announcing further details about our exciting new plans
in the coming weeks."
Decisions regarding some other traditions, such as the
crowning of the Tournament of Roses Royal Court, haven't
been made yet. A spokeswoman said "in the next few weeks,
we'll make an announcement about the Royal Court and the
theme and the tournament leadership."
The Rose Bowl football game on Jan. 1, however, is still
planned, whether it is with a socially distanced audience or
an empty stadium, Eads said.

SMPTE Transforms Its Annual Technical Conference and
Exhibition Into an Immersive, Interactive Remote
Experience
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- June 22,
2020 -- The
Society of Motion Picture and Television
Engineers®,
(SMPTE®) the organization
that is defining the future of storytelling, will host its
annual technical conference and exhibition on Nov. 10-12 as
an interactive and immersive remote experience with a rich
array of learning and networking opportunities. Within this
highly customizable online format, SMPTE 2020 will provide
unparalleled opportunities for attendees to explore the
variety of new technologies and business models shaping the
future of media and entertainment. The theme for this year's
event is "Game On," with one full day focused on the
convergence of esports/gaming and media technology and the
unique requirements of the thriving esports industry.
"By eliminating traditional barriers to participation such
as travel, the cost of accommodation, and scheduling
conflicts, we're making SMPTE 2020 a broadly accessible and
truly global conference," explained SMPTE Executive Director
Barbara Lange. "We look forward to increased participation
from all SMPTE Sections around the world."
Attendees will be welcomed into an immersive environment
that incorporates a main conference hub, meeting rooms for a
chance to "ask the experts," theater space for sessions and
the annual Awards Gala, and an exhibition hall with private
meeting space. SMPTE 2020 will offer flexibility in
accessing technical presentations, practical hands-on
training, product and technology demonstrations, peer-group
discussions, virtual panels, and sponsored roundtable
discussions, as well as networking events, social hours, and
even trivia and esports competitions.
Like last year's conference, SMPTE 2020 will include the
popular SMPTE Storytellers series, expanded technical
tutorials and training, and programming from SMPTE partners.
New content will include bite-sized keynotes, quick
"Standards 101" sessions, and shorter hot-topic discussions
that allow attendees to build a custom conference experience
that suits their own schedules and interests.

115- "We Are One' Online Film Festival" will kick off on
Youtube, May 29.
There are around 3,000 film festivals currently
active (i.e. ran in the past two years) 9,706 film
festivals have run at least once in the last 15
years.
The majority of film festivals do charge for
submissions (an average of $27 for short films and
$40 for feature films), but this isn't their main
source of
income.
One reason
advertisers like film festivals is that festival attendees
tend to have plenty of money to spend. For example, at
Sundance, over 50% of attendees have a household income of
$100,000, while 26% have a household income of over
$200,000.
Arguably there is not a single major film
festival but, the most prestigious film
festivals include Cannes, Berlin, and Venice film
festival, sometimes called "The
Big Three."
The major
film festivals
include
"Venice International Film Festival"
"The Cannes Film Festival" -- France; "Tribeca Film
Festival" -- New York.; "Taormina Film Fest" -- Sicily;
"Sundance Film Festival"-- Park City, Utah; "SXSW Film
Festival " -- Austin, Texas; "Berlin International Film
Festival" and "TIFF" Toronto,
Canada.
The oldest
film festival in the world, founded in 1932, is the
Venice Film Festival. Since World War II, film
festivals have contributed significantly to the
development of the motion-picture industry in many
countries.
Tribeca
And YouTube Join Forces to stream 'We Are One' Online Film
Festival.
With
the film festival calendar thrown into chaos
by COVID-19 and major events canceled, Tribeca
Enterprises and YouTube are teaming up to present
a 10-day streaming event drawing from 20 global fests,
including Cannes, Toronto, Sundance and
Venice.
The online
showcase, dubbed "We Are One: A Global Film Festival,"
will kick off on YouTube on May 29. Its lineup of films,
shorts, documentaries, music, comedy, and conversations will
be released at a later date, organizers said.
All programming will be free for
audiences to stream. Donations will benefit the World Health
Organization's COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund and local
relief partners in various parts of the world.

Cannes Film Festival Finally Admits It Won't Happen This
Summer
APR. 16, 2020 -- As
huge theme parks and whole sports
leagues around the world pause operations to mitigate
the spread of COVID-19, the Cannes Film Festival, as the
essential pillar for the film industry, has been reluctant
to make an official declaration about this year's event.
Today, though, organizers finally acquiesced and released a
statement saying that even a delay until the summer (Cannes
was scheduled to begin on May 12) would not allow the
festival to go on with all its typical pageantry.
"We acknowledge that the postponement
of the 73rd International Cannes Film Festival, initially
considered for the end of June to the beginning of July, is
no longer an option," reads a statement released by the
organizers. Cannes "must explore all contingencies allowing
to support the year of Cinema by making Cannes 2020 real, in
one way or another."

Venice Film Festival is going forward as planned
With conventions, festivals, albums,
concerts, and more being pushed to the fall or canceled
entirely due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Venice Film
Festival is sticking to its plans for September 2 - 12.
In a recent interview with the
Italian wire service ANSA, Venice Biennial president Roberto
Cicutto once again confirmed the September 2 to12 dates for
the 77th Venice Film Festival and downplayed plans for a
Venice without Cannes Film Festival collaboration.
Strict social distancing regulations
forced the Cannes Film Festival to postpone this
year's event, once to mid-July and a second time
indefinitely. While Cannes director Thierry Fremaux
suggested that Venice Film Fest and Cannes may
combine their efforts, Roberto Cicutto told ANSA that there
is no "hypothesis" for a collaboration at this time. "We are
going forward with our program, and if Cannes is still
thinking (about their course of action) then there is no
dialogue."
Meanwhile, Venice is exploring
options to make sure its September festival can still
happen, including a digital option for foreign press and
potentially using cinemas. They've given themselves until
May to figure all that out, which seems to be the new rule
of thumb for all coronavirus-related timelines. Remember
back when it was April? As the oldest film festival in the
world, Venice may be at a higher risk for the coronavirus,
but it is not going down without a fight.

"My Salinger Year,"
kicked off the Berlin Int'l Film Festival - 18 films are
vying for the Golden
Bear
BERLIN --
The 70th annual Berlin
International Film Festival known as "the Berlinale" is
currently taking place from 20 February to 1 March 2020. It
is the first under the leadership of new Berlin Film
Festival heads, business administration director Mariette
Rissenbeek and artistic director Carlo Chatrian who
took over from Dieter Kosslick last year.
The Berlinale is a
unique place of artistic exploration and entertainment. It
is one of the largest public film festivals in the world,
attracting tens of thousands of visitors from around the
globe each year. For the film industry and the media, the
eleven days in February are also one of the most important
events in the annual calendar and an indispensable trading
forum
The Festival got off to a somber
start after news of a racially motivated mass shooting
Wednesday night in the Frankfurt neighboring German city of
Hanau rocked the country.
"I
wanted to say something about the 70th anniversary of the
Berlinale, but events in Hanau hit us all hard," said
Berlinale executive director Mariette Rissenbeek.
Artistic
director Carlo Chatrian added: "We stand here as a
community. When we sit in the cinema, there is no
distinction between class or religion. Cinema brings us
together."
The
opening night kicked off with the screening of Philippe
Falardeau's "My Salinger Year," starring Sigourney Weaver
and Margaret Qualley, who attended the premiere.
Philippe
Falardeau also paid respects to the Hanau shootings, which
claimed 11 lives, telling the audience, "I want to convey my
unflinching solidarity with the German people in these
troubled times," adding his hope that the film might "give
you a little light."
Hosting
the show, actor Samuel Finzi offered an often politically
pointed speech that focused largely on the plight of
immigrants and on his own life as a Bulgarian native in
Berlin.
"We
shouldn't isolate ourselves and build walls," Finzi
said.
"Perhaps there is someone trying to come here that will be a
great German hope. Cinema is about shared experiences."
Finzi
replaced long-time host Anke Engelke, a Canadian-German
comedian.
Some
pointed out the change in tone between last year and this
year's ceremony. Dieter Kosslick was known for his
larger-than-life personality, and his antics seemed to be
missed on stage, in contrast to the more serious, nature of
the festival's new co-directors.
Later
in the evening, German culture minister Monika Grütters
also took the stage and delivered a rousing anti-terror
message that brought the crowd to its feet -- one of
the ceremony's few highlights.
Also in attendance was Johnny Depp who arrived at
the Berlin Film Festival Friday to support the
film "Minamata," in which he plays celebrated war
photographer W. Eugene Smith. In the film, based on real
events, Smith is pitted against a powerful corporation
responsible for poisoning with mercury the people of
Minamata in Japan in 1971.
At the film's press conference, Depp said he had a "strange
fascination" with Smith and his photography, which was
enhanced when he'd "read a bit about his life and what he'd
gone through, what he'd experienced, what he'd sacrificed to
capture those moments, to capture those photos."
Over
the next 10 days, the Berlinale will screen 18 films that
are vying for the Golden Bear, among them Kelly Reichardt's
"First Cow," Mohammad Rasoulof's "There Is No Evil," Natalia
Meta's "The Intruder," and Burhan Qurbani's "Berlin
Alexanderplatz."

Homage
and Honorary Golden Bear 2020 for Helen
Mirren
The 70th Berlin International Film
Festival honored Oscar-winner Dame Helen Mirren with
its Homage and awarded her the Honorary Golden
Bear (German: Goldener Bär) for her lifetime
achievement.
The award ceremony included a
screening of "The Queen" (2006, dir: Stephen
Frears).
With the Honorary Golden Bear, the
Berlinale pays tribute to important figures in the world of
film. The award is presented for an exceptional artistic
career and is given to the guest of honour of
the Homage.
Not only is Helen Mirren one of the
world's most renowned actresses, she was also one of the
youngest ever to join the famed Royal Shakespeare Company.
Over the decades, her range as an actress have been amply
demonstrated in a wide variety of genres.
Among the many accolades Mirren has
received the 2007 Academy Award for Best Actress and Golden
Globe for her performance in The Queen. In addition to
many international film prizes, her stage work has also been
honored with the leading theatre tributes &endash; the
Olivier Award, Tony and Drama Desk Awards. In 2003, Helen
Mirren was awarded the title of Dame Commander of the Order
of the British Empire (DBE) for her services to drama.
After working mainly in theatre,
including with the Royal Shakespeare Company, Mirren's first
major film role was in Michael Powell's 1969 comedy Age of
Consent. She subsequently made her mark in 1980's "The
Long Good Friday" (dir: John Mackenzie), playing the
assertive girlfriend of a top gangster. Her portrayal of
Georgina in Peter Greenaway's "The Cook, the Thief, His
Wife & Her Lover" (1989) was also legendary.
Beginning in the 1990s, Helen Mirren increasingly expanded
and diversified her roles in both film and television, among
them Robert Altman's 2001 Gosford Park (Berlinale 2002). Her
flair for comedy was once again in evidence with "Calendar
Girls" (2003, dir: Nigel Cole). Between 1991 and 2006, she
headed up the seven instalments of the TV series "Prime
Suspect" as police superintendent Jane Tennison.
In "The
Last Station" (2009), directed by Michael Hoffmann, she
played Leo Tolstoy's wife Sofya. She was at the Berlinale in
2015, alongside co-star Ryan Reynolds, with "Woman in Gold"
(dir: Simon Curtis). Since then, she has appeared onscreen
in "Eye in the Sky" (2015, dir: Gavin Hood) and "The Leisure
Seeker" (2017, dir: Paolo Virzì) among others.
Mirren
gives another terrific performance in the thriller "The
Good Liar" (dir: Bill Condon), co-starring with Ian
McKellen, which recently opened theatrically in Germany and
will also be shown in the Homage section.
The Homage films:
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her
Lover, UK / France / Netherlands 1989, director: Peter
Greenaway
The Good Liar, USA 2019, director: Bill Condon
The Last Station, Germany / UK / Russia 2009, director:
Michael Hoffmann
The Long Good Friday, UK 1980, director: John Mackenzie
The Queen, UK / France / Italy 2006, director: Stephen
Frears
As a partner of the Berlin
International Film Festival for many years, the Deutsche
Kinemathek has, since 1977, mounted
the Homage section in addition to
the Retrospective.
The
Retrospective is the Berlinale's film history programme. In
Berlinale Classics, digitally restored film classics and
rediscoveries celebrate their premieres. The Homage and the
Honorary Golden Bear pay tribute to a great film personality
for their lifetime's achievement.

Billie Eilish makes history, sweeping all four major
categories at 2020 Grammy 115-
Grammy Awards focuses on new
stars
January, the month of awards in Hollywood, is ending with
the 62nd Grammy Awards taking place on Sunday, January 26,
at the Staples Center, Los Angeles. The live awards will air
at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on
CBS.
The 2020 Grammy Awards is focusing largely on up-and-coming
stars but that may become overshadowed by controversy
surrounding allegations made by Deborah Dugan, the former
head of the Grammys, in her lawsuit against the National
Academy of Recording Arts.
This was set to be the first edition
of the Grammy Awards that the new Recording Academy
President Deborah Dugan would have presided over;
however, she was relieved of her duties as President and CEO
and placed on administrative leave from the organization on
January 16, 2020. Recording Academy Chairman Harvey
Mason Jr. took over as interim President and Chief
Executive Officer. He is currently slated to preside over
the ceremony instead of
Dugan
After her critically
lauded run as emcee of last year's
GRAMMYs,
15-time
Grammy winner Alicia
Keys is returning to host the main
telecast.
She is only the fifth woman to host
the Grammys and the first woman of color to host it twice.
Before Keys, Queen Latifah hosted in 2005, while Rosie
O'Donnell took on the duties in 1999 and 2000. Ellen
DeGeneres hosted in 1996 and 1997. During last year's Grammy
Awards, Keys stole the show as host. The theater audience
and viewers at home raved over the musician's melodic
performance, during which she impressively played two pianos
at once. Whoopie Goldberg was the first woman ever to host
the event, in
1992.
Aerosmith was honored
as the MusiCares Person of the
Year two nights prior to the telecast.

17th
Brandon Tartikoff Award at NATPE, Founainebleau,
Miami Beach
The recipients of NATPE's 17th Annual Brandon Tartikoff
Legacy Awards are award-winning actress Christine
Baranski, ABC Entertainment President Karey Burke,
prolific television creator, producer and
writer Courtney A. Kemp, President of NBCUniversal's
Telemundo Global Studios, Marcos Santana, and Chairman,
WarnerMedia News and Sports & President, CNN
Worldwide Jeff Zucker. They will receive the
prestigious awards during the NATPE Miami 2020 convention
during a dinner gala on January 22, 2020, at the
Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. The dinner, with its
A-list attendees, benefits the NATPE Educational Foundation,
with a portion going to the Broadcasters Federation of
America (BFOA). Bob Holmes is returning as Executive
Producer of the show.
Named in honor of Brandon Tartikoff, one of television's
greatest programmers, the Brandon Tartikoff Legacy Awards
were created to recognize an exceptional ensemble of
professionals who exhibit extraordinary passion, leadership,
independence and vision in content programming. Brandon had
an unmatched love for television, life and family. He will
always be remembered among the most gifted programmers of
his generation.
Past honorees include Steven Bochco, James Burrows, Jon
Feltheimer, Jane Fonda, Bob Greenblatt, David Kelly, Norman
Lear, Chuck Lorre, Regis Philbin, Peter Roth, Josh Sapan,
Ted Sarandos, Dick Wolf, and Betty White, among others.
Proceeds from the program will be donated to the NATPE
Educational Foundation and the Broadcasters Foundation of
America.
The NATPE Educational Foundation was launched in 1978 by the
late Lew Klein to promote educational activities and focuses
on faculty development, recognizing that improving faculty
knowledge translates into a better classroom experiences for
students and thus has impacted thousands of students, some
of whom now have illustrious careers in the industry.
Christine Baranski is an Emmy, two-time Tony, Screen
Actors Guild, Drama Desk and American Comedy Award winner.
Baranski currently stars as Diane Lockhart in the critically
acclaimed CBS All Access original series "The Good Fight," a
role she originated on CBS' "The Good Wife." Other
television credits include her Emmy-winning role on
"Cybill," "The Big Bang Theory" and "Frasier." Film credits
include: "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again", "A Bad Moms
Christmas," "Mamma Mia!" "Trolls," "Miss Sloane," "Into the
Woods," "Chicago," "How the Grinch Stole Christmas,"
"Bowfinger," "Bulworth," "Cruel Intentions" and "The
Birdcage," among others. She will next be seen in the
Netflix feature "Christmas on the Square." A graduate of the
Juilliard School, Baranski received her big break in Tom
Stoppard's hit Broadway comedy "The Real Thing," directed by
Mike Nichols, for which she won a Tony Award and Drama Desk
Award.
Karey Burke is responsible for all development,
programming, casting, marketing, business affairs and
scheduling operations for ABC prime time and late-night. She
reports to Dana Walden, chairman, Disney Television Studios
and ABC Entertainment. One year into her tenure, Burke has
developed some the most buzzed-about live events of the
year, including "Live in Front of a Studio Audience: Norman
Lear's 'All in the Family' and 'The Jeffersons,'" which has
reached more than 23 million total viewers on broadcast
alone, and won the Emmy for Outstanding Variety Special
(Live), the only major category win this year for a
broadcast network; and "The Wonderful World of Disney
presents: The Little Mermaid Live!" &endash; the
highest-rated live broadcast musical in four years.
Additionally, The Oscars and CMA Awards have posted double
digits gains vs. the prior year. For the first time ever,
"The Bachelorette" was the No. 1 TV series of the summer,
and the network's "Summer Fun & Games" drove ABC to
regain the title as the No. 1 network for summer for the
first time in 24 years. Burke is also delivering on
her promise of female-forward programming, with new series
"Stumptown," "Emergence" and the No. 1 new comedy of the
season, "mixed-ish"; all three shows rank in the top five
new fall series (based on L7). Prior to her role as
President of ABC Entertainment, Burke was executive vice
president, Programming and Development at Freeform, where
she was charged with overseeing all scripted and unscripted
development and current original programming, in addition to
casting and talent development. Burke was also responsible
for creating and executing a cohesive programming strategy
for multiplatform distribution, and accelerating and
amplifying the high-quality, brand-defining content for
which Freeform is known. During her tenure, she had great
success building on Freeform's strong foundation, delivering
the No. 1 new cable comedy and No. 1 new cable drama of 2018
for the network's target audience of W18-34 with "grown-ish"
and "Siren." She also continued Freeform's dominance as the
No. 1 most social cable channel.
Courtney A. Kemp is a highly regarded creator,
showrunner, and producer in the television industry. Kemp is
the creative force behind Starz's critically acclaimed
gritty New York drama, Power which is currently in
its sixth and final season. Under Kemp's fearless leadership
as series creator and showrunner, Power has
consistently over-performed in viewership and continues to
elevate itself above its competition in an oversaturated
television landscape. Power, Starz's most watched
original series to date, currently boasts an average weekly
multiplatform viewership of over 10 million, making it the
second-most-watched series on premium cable. While the
series will soon wrap up its sixth and final season,
the Power cinematic universe that Kemp has built
will continue for many years to come, with the first spinoff
series, Power Book II: Ghost, written and created by
Kemp and starring superstar Mary J. Blige, set to debut next
year.
Marcos Santana is the President of NBCUniversal
Telemundo Enterprises' Telemundo Global Studios. In this
role, Santana leads the division's domestic and

Annual
Critics' Choice Awards, January
12
The
night's top prize for best picture went to "Once Upon A Time
... In Hollywood."
Hollywood gathered Sunday night at the Barker Hangar at
the Santa Monica Airport, to celebrate the best in
television and film at the 25th annual Critics' Choice
Awards, hosted by Taye Diggs.
Eddie Murphy received a lifetime achievement award, while
Kristen Bell, who was honored with the #SeeHer Award, moved
the audience with an inspiring speech.
"My
immediate reaction is always to answer with words like
'strong' and 'brave' and 'powerful,' but if I'm being
honest, to me, being a woman is not about being brave or
being strong or being powerful. It's not about being
anything specific," Bell said. "It's just about giving
yourself permission to be the things that you already are,
which seems very easy, but it is not. Because women have
been conditioned to fit into boxes; usually tiny, pretty,
sparkly boxes with bows on the
them."

AHHH.... Autumn in Cannes... where mild breezes blow as the
warm Mediterranean sun smiles over this beautiful spot on
the Cote d'Azur. There you can feel a timeless sensuality,
assuaging a nostalgia for the Mediterranean which since as
far back as the 16th century has been a constant theme in
many a Northern European's life.
"Now give us lands where the olives grow," Cried the North
to the South, "Where the sun with a golden mouth can blow
bubbles of grapes down the vineyard row!" Cried the North to
the South (to borrow a phrase from the English writer
Elizabeth Barret Browning.)
"Cannes," wrote Charles Lentheric, the indispensable and
erudite historian of maritime Provence, in 1880, " is a town
where you feel no need to work," and where the inhabitants
were not interested in the world that lay beyond their shady
gardens, or the sheltered balconys of their hotels. Now the
world has come to Cannes, chosen to be the Mediterranean
headquarters for its annual events, and when you stroll
along the Croisette on some warm October day you will hardly
share Mr. Lenteric's sentiments. Cannes has emerged quite
cosmopolitan.
115-
CANNES, the jewel among festival
towns
Cannes is host to the annual Festival
de Cannes, as well as MIDEM, MIP TV and MICOM
(Marché
International des Programmes de Communication,
owned and organized by Reed
MIDEM).
It's been 32 years since TVI under
Cory's ownership first covered MIPCOM in 1987.
Although Cannes has remained the quintessential market
place, despite enormous changes in the cinema, television
and social media landscape, it was more casual back in 1987,
of course. You could hang out with studio executives without
much planning or go see a performer in his hotel room and
spend the afternoon in discussing the latest video. There
was no "French day," the interview period now set aside so
French journalists can get their stories before everyone
else.
And many things were simpler. Though it sounds paradoxical,
even getting stories back to my TVI Magazine -- it was less
time-consuming in that pre-computer age. The festival
headquarters had a room where telex operators who spoke not
a word of English -- took your typewritten copy, grunted
something unintelligible and transmitted it to the U.S.
without a hitch.
Since then, Cannes has only gotten bigger. Though we now
live in an age when films can be viewed via links and
streamed on computers anywhere in the world, the number of
journalists covering the 4-day affair has multiplied.
Cannes got off the ground after World War II with the Cannes
Film Festival, and followed by tv markets MIPTV and VIDCOM,
later MIPCOM when the market festival also responded to the
advent of home video technology, including VCRs, DVDs and
Blu-ray. As those new formats drove interest in older films
and tv series and both French and American distributors
wanted a platform to publicize their plans to re-release
classics.
Cannes is not just a festival that screens rarefied films.
It also hosts a major market, known officially as the Marche
du Film (established in 1959) held annually in conjunction
with the Festival de Cannes, where about 4,000 films are
shown to buyers from more than 100 countries. Here, deals
are cut to bring movies to theaters in countries around the
world or to release them on video or in digital formats.
This kind of willingness and ability to literally pay the
price to keep the festival relevant is a through-line in
Cannes' response to challenges. The event's annual budget is
a staggering 20 million euros, roughly $26 million, and half
of that comes from governmental tax funds. The French public
considers film to be part of its cultural patrimony and is
quite willing to foot the bill to be the best.
Part of that money goes to making the city as pleasant as it
can be for festival visitors. Two months before the event
begins, flowers get planted so they will bloom on schedule.
One of the treats of getting to Cannes early is watching
enormous cranes place huge, blossom-filled concrete planters
into strategic positions along the Riviera.
Given how easy it is to see films these days without leaving
your room, why do people continue to spend such considerable
time, energy and money to go to Cannes?
Because, despite the billions of dollars involved, the movie
and television business remains a personal one, where
relationships count and seeing people face to face from time
to time is essential. Cannes has made sure that there's no
place better to do that than Cannes. What was true in 1946
is still true today: Everyone goes to Cannes because
everyone else is there. No other place can make that claim,
not even close.

began his film career in the 1980s together with Spanish
director Pedro Almodovar and films such as "Labyrinth of
Passion", "Matador", and "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!".
In
the '90s, Banderas arrived on the Hollywood scene after he
starred in film such as "Philadelphia", "Interview With the
Vampire" and "Desperado."
Martin
Campbell's "The Mask of Zorro" is, perhaps, the actor's most
commercially successful film till date.
Actor
Ralph Fiennes, the star of films such as "The English
Patient", "Harry Potter" franchise and "The Reader", is also
set to receive the award during the festival.
In 1995, he was cast in the role
of singer El Mariachi in Robert Rodriguez's action film
Desperado. Along the dusty border between the US and Mexico,
the gunslinger hunts down Bucho, a drug lord who killed El
Mariachi's sweetheart. In Alan Parker's Evita, Banderas
tells the story of Argentina's iconic first lady from the
perspective of revolutionary Che Guevara. The biggest
milestone of Banderas's career might well be the lead role
in Martin Campbell's The Mask of Zorro. Banderas stars as
heir to Don Diego de la Vega, the masked hero who seeks to
avenge his people. He never took himself too seri
ously: Playing with his image as loveable rogue the actor
took on the role of the Puss in Boots in Shrek 2.

CineMerit Award for Ralph Fiennes
FILMFEST MÜNCHEN welcomes Ralph Fiennes
as our guest on July 1st this year. The British actor and
director will be honored with our festival's special award,
the CineMerit Award. Fiennes will also participate in a
Filmmakers Live! talk in the Gasteig's Black Box, at which
fans and guests can pose questions of the Oscar-nominated
performer.
Whether as Lord Voldemort or as SS Hauptsturmführer
Amon Göth, Ralph Fiennes knows how to lend a personal
quality to pure evil. But he can also be an adorably
flirtatious concierge, as in Wes Anderson's "Grand Budapest
Hotel". In his acting roles, Ralph Fiennes reinvents himself
time and again, gives his characters unexpected facets, and
is never afraid to take risks. He's said that a life full of
contradictions helps him to make these characters come
alive. His unique and intense portrayals have defined such
Oscar-winning dramas as "Schindler's List", "The Constant
Gardener", and "The English Patient", and have earned him
several international awards. It's this versatility that
makes Fiennes an outstanding and multifaceted actor who in
recent years has also forayed into directing.
That's why FILMFEST MÜNCHEN is
showing all three of the films he's directed as well as
further movies that display his accomplishments as an actor.
The presentation of the CineMerit Award will include a
screening of his new film THE WHITE CROW. Fiennes not only
directed the film, but also played the part of renowned
Leningrad ballet master Alexander Pushkin. One intense look
from him, and he has everyone's attention. Dance instructor
Pushkin stands in an empty room with calm stoicism and a
gentle but determined look. At the ballet barre, his pupils
are waiting for his signal. A slight gesture, a terse "Get
ready" &emdash; and the tone is set. Just as gentle and
determined is Fiennes' signature touch. He takes a calm and
studious approach to the incredible story of legendary
Soviet ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev, who astonished the
world with his defection to France in 1961. Nureyev is
played by world-class Ukrainian ballet dancer Oleg
Ivenko.
In
CORIOLANUS, his first film as director, Fiennes brought his
appreciation of Shakespeare's works to the big screen. Prior
to his success in film, Fiennes was long renowned on the
English stage. At the young age of 27, he had notable roles
in Shakespeare plays at London's National Theatre and with
the Royal Shakespeare Company. Even though his career soon
led to film, he returned time and again to the theater,
playing Hamlet, King Lear, Julius Caesar, and the island
sorcerer Prospero. In CORIOLANUS, he plays the haughty,
vindictive general Gaius Marcius Coriolanus, who has drawn
the resentment of the Roman people upon himself.
In
THE INVISIBLE WOMAN, his second film as director, Fiennes
also played one of the main characters: legendary British
author Charles Dickens, who starts a complicated love affair
with a young actress named Nelly. Once again, the director
made use of a literary template, Claire Tomalin's novel of
the same title. In his relationship with Nelly, Dickens
appears dominating and assertive, but actor Ralph Fiennes
succeeds nonetheless in revealing the writer's uncertainty
and vulnerability when growing older.
Determined
and gentle, rebellious and subtle: that's the tone of Ralph
Fiennes' work as a director. His films, like his roles,
point out life's contradictions.

Filmfest to honour international filmmaker Bong Joon Ho
Bong Joon Ho is not only one
of the most renowned international filmmakers of the moment
but also the winner of this year's Palme d'Or at Cannes Film
Festival. FILMFEST MÜNCHEN is honoring the 49-year-old
South Korean director with a retrospective in which the
complete works of his nearly 20-year career will be
presented.
Bong has been a very successful genre director, dealing with
quite varied topics, though solidarity and cohesion are
themes that come up time and again in his works. Now the
director is represented in this year's CineMasters
competition by his brand-new film PARASITE, which won the
Palme d'or at Cannes. Here, too, Bong uses creative twists
and turns to illustrate the difficulties of human
interaction, on the family level as well as the societal
level. A family and its sinister acts are at the center of
this allegorical drama with comedic undertones. This film
deliberately avoids categorization and holds a number of
dramatic surprises. This mixture of satire, suspense, and
social criticism is typical of Bong Joon Ho and is at the
same time something completely new. It's the ideal
starting point for discovering or rediscovering his
work.

22nd Shanghai Int'l Film Festival, June 14-
24
Cinema depicts all the vibes of human kind, while screen
encompasses all in the world. But the glory of film is not
only about the grandeur on the red carpet, but also about
the selfless efforts and devotion of filmmakers behind the
scenes. And it is the very latter that has made possible the
audio-visual shocks in theaters and the spiritual
satisfaction for the audience.
Under the guidance of State Film
Administration, the 22nd Shanghai International Film
Festival, held by China Media Group and Shanghai Municipal
People's Government, released its official poster "Creative
Heroes Behind the Scenes", which implies that it will
inherit the classics, pay tribute to behind-the-scenes
endeavor, seek after the future dreams, and inspire the wide
filmmakers to bear the original aspiration, keep true to
their hearts, carry on the craftsmanship, devote to creation
for the people and contribute to China's transformation from
a large film country to a film power.
As the only competitive feature film festival in China
recognized by the International Federation of Film Producers
Association (FIAPF), since its birth in 1993, Shanghai
International Film Festival (SIFF) has been dedicated to
inviting Chinese and foreign filmmakers to jointly build a
bridge between Chinese films and the world. The 22nd
Shanghai International Film Festival commissioned the famous
poster designer HUANG Hai to create a poster with the theme
of "Creative Heroes Behind the Scenes", whose inspiration
mainly comes from the film HAVOC IN HEAVEN by Shanghai
Animation Film Studios.
This
top Chinese film, released in the 1960s, greatly enriched
the audience's aesthetic imagination and influenced the
creation of countless filmmakers across the world. For this
work, the collective wisdom is all that matters, and there
is no difference between the front and the back of the
stage. SUN Wukong, symbolizing the spiritual totem of the
Chinese nation, is the incarnation of bravery, loyalty, and
ambition, which has such an overwhelming power as the
conviction held by thousands of Chinese filmmakers in the
wave of Chinese film development and transformation. The
vivid image of SUN Wukong has also become a typical symbol
of the Chinese culture that is recognized globally. The
design idea of this official poster is to display
traditional Chinese cultural elements to the world in the
contemporary art language through the specific connotation
of SUN Wukong's image.
Shanghai
Animation Film Studios has offer great support by image
authorization. And designer HUANG Hai has fully demonstrated
the power of creativity in the reinterpretation of SUN
Wukong's image. The color of the poster, designed to be
close to the original film, is to restore the same visual
effect. The unveiling waterfall curtain, appearing in
another form of the classic scene in the film, also
symbolizes the film festival to be inaugurated. The word
"22" ingenuously brings forth the era sense in the main
image. The "Monkey King", from the stage to the back of the
scene, with his wise and playful eyes on the audiences
watching the stage, is expecting the surprises by the film
creators. The picture featuring vivid colors and lifesome
image is thought provoking, which perfectly conveys the
theme of this film festival's poster "Creative Heroes Behind
the Scenes" - - the real glamour of films lies in collective
wisdom and devotion, while paying tribute to the
behind-the-scenes filmmakers.
The
theme "Creative Heroes Behind the Scenes" also integrates
SIFF's positioning of "Based in Asia, Focusing on Chinese
and Supporting New Generation", and the direction of
building China into a film power by encouraging contents,
respecting the behind-the-scenes work, and promoting new
talents. Inspired by the design of the poster of the film
festival based on the image of SUN Wukong, HUANG Hai hopes
that more young filmmakers will watch HAVOC IN HEAVEN, as
the craftsmanship in the behind-the-scenes workers of this
film is the heritage to be carried forward and innovated
with courage by all Chinese filmmakers.

The
55th Pasadena Showcase House of Design, April 21 - May
19
An all-volunteer organization, Pasadena
Showcase House for the Arts (PSHA) is a non-profit
California Corporation whose members donate their time and
talents to produce the annual Pasadena Showcase House of
Design. Founded in 1948, and formerly known as The
Pasadena Junior Philharmonic Committee, they adopted the
Pasadena Showcase House of Design as their annual benefit in
1965. It is one of the oldest, largest and most
successful house and garden tours in the nation.
A Los Angeles Times article, dated October 14, 1948, reads:
"A Pasadena Junior Philharmonic Committee has been
formed. Composed of prominent members of the younger
set, this organization came into being at a meeting and tea
on October 8, in the home of Mrs. John B. Callery, Jr., who
has been named president."
The committee was formed to raise money for the Continuance
Fund (later the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association) to
help pay for the Pasadena series of concerts of the Los
Angeles Philharmonic. The original 18 founding members
met their early donation goals with traditional affairs - a
shipwreck party, a casino night, an assortment of bridge
tournaments and a television party where guests dressed up
like their favorite TV stars, when television was a
relatively new phenomenon. In those early days,
between $3,000 and $5,000 was raised annually.
The idea of a Pasadena Showcase House of Design was
suggested in 1965 and the destiny of The Pasadena Junior
Philharmonic Committee, now known as Pasadena Showcase House
for the Arts, was uniquely changed. With creativity and
hard work from the committee, community support and
enthusiasm - more than $11,000 was raised the first
year. Admission to the first Showcase House was $1.50,
which included coffee and cookies, and approximately 7,500
visitors attended. Parking was in the neighborhood and,
in some cases, on neighbors' lawns. Today, tickets
range from $35 - $60 and approximately 30,000 visitors are
shuttled from a nearby location
"Art Sales" was added in 1970, beginning with two or three
artists. Today, about 25 vendors participate in the
Shops at Showcase. Refreshments evolved from
complimentary coffee and cookies, to lunches prepared by
members, to a cafeteria with light fare to a full service
restaurant with an additional Gourmet-to-Go station and al
fresco dining and sometimes a pub.
Due to the profound dedication of the members of PSHA who
volunteer their time, the talent and financial commitment of
the designers and the many others who donate their services,
products and money - the Pasadena Showcase House of Design
is now one of the oldest, largest and most successful house
and garden tours in the United States.

in Santa Monica, California. More than 7,000 people attend
the eight-day annual event to network and to sell, finance
and acquire films, making it the pivotal destination for
independent filmmakers and business people from all over the
world.
Participants come from more than 80 countries and include
acquisition and development executives, agents, attorneys,
directors, distributors, festival directors, financiers,
film commissioners, producers, writers, the world's press
all those who provide services to the motion picture
industry.
Unlike a film festival, the AFM is a marketplace &endash;
with over 200,000 square feet of exhibition space &endash;
where production and distribution deals are closed. In just
eight days, more than US$1 billion in deals will be sealed
-- on both completed films and those in every stage of
development and production.
The American Film Market uses all 15
movie theatres on Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade.
Participants may view
more than 500 screenings of 300+ films-- 29 new films every
two hours. Titles range from big budget blockbusters that
will be released by the major studios to lower budget art
and genre films recognized at international film
festivals.
The AFM is produced by the
Independent Film & Television Alliance (IFTA), the trade
association representing the world's producers and
distributors of independent motion pictures and television
programs.
The American Film Market held its
first event March 21&endash;31, 1981

115-China
will be MIPCOM's 2018 Country of
Honor
The world's entertainment content market, MIPCOM
takes place in Cannes, France, from 15-18
October.
"China has now emerged as a major producer and consumer of
film and television and will play a leading role at MIPCOM,
to present to the world great Chinese stories and work with
colleagues around the globe to usher in a better future,"
said Mrs. Ma Li, Director General of the International
Cooperation Department of the National Radio and Television
Administration, People's Republic of China.
"The Chinese television and entertainment sector has a
special place within the MIPCOM and MIPTV community going
back to 2004 when MIPTV welcomed the largest-ever delegation
of Chinese TV executives at an international television
market. As MIPCOM 2018 Country of Honour, China will be
showcasing its wide range of programme genre destined for
international television channels," commented Laurine
Garaude, Director of Reed MIDEM's Television Division.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of new industry data
reporting that China is now the second largest television
market in the world, overtaking the United Kingdom and
behind the United States.
According to a report from IHS Markit, China spent $10.9
billion on television programming in 2017 compared to $10
billion in the UK. TV broadcasters spent $6.4 billion while
online giants Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent invested $4.5
billion to provide programmes for their online entertainment
platforms. Original programming accounted for 49% of shows
aired in China with the rest being made up of acquisitions
(46%) and sports programming.
"In recent years we have seen the growth in Chinese shows
being presented at our events for sale to international
broadcasters and an increase in cross-border partnerships
between Chinese and international producers. We anticipate
that the trend towards Chinese content being exported to
international territories will speed up over the next two to
three years and we are very keen for MIPCOM and MIPTV to be
part of that process," noted Reed MIDEM's Laurine
Garaude.
"At MIPTV 2018 we showcased several Chinese formats
including 'National Treasure.' And in the documentary
sector, the agreement between Tencent and BBC to produce
high-quality documentaries is an indication of the desire to
develop bilateral production partnerships," added Laurine
Garaude.
The MIPCOM Country of Honour programme will include
conference panel discussions on the Chinese market during
MIPJunior and MIPCOM, multiple showcases of the latest
Chinese programmes, a Chinese-themed Opening Night Welcome
Reception, a look into the hottest shows from China in the
popular Fresh TV presentation and the largest-ever China
Pavilion.
Previous MIPCOM Countries of Honour include Japan, Russia,
Turkey and Mexico.

Showtime® limited series "Escape at Dannemora" to
premier at MIPCOM
2018.
PARIS -- CBS Studios
International will host the world premiere screening of the
new Showtime limited series, "Escape at Dannemora", at
MIPCOM 2018
Screening will take place in the Palais des Festivals on
Monday 15 October, with Ben Stiller, Executive Producer and
series director attending the event in Cannes.
"Escape at Dannemora" is based on the stranger-than-fiction
account of a prison break in upstate New York in the summer
of 2015 that spawned a massive manhunt for two convicted
murderers. The prisoners were aided in their escape by a
married female prison employee, with whom they both became
sexually entangled. It stars Oscar®-winners Benicio Del
Toro ("Traffic") and Patricia Arquette ("Boyhood"),
alongside Paul Dano ("There Will Be Blood") and Bonnie Hunt
("Life with Bonnie"). The show will premiere on Showtime at
the end of the year. "Escape at Dannemora" is written and
executive produced by Brett Johnson ("Mad Men") and Michael
Tolkin ("The Player"). Also executive producing are Bryan
Zuriff ("Ray Donovan"), Michael De Luca ("Captain Phillips")
via Michael De Luca Productions, and Nicky Weinstock for
Stiller's Red Hour Productions.
As an actor, director, writer, and producer, Ben Stiller's
global box office stands at nearly $3 billion, making him
one of the highest-grossing stars of all time. His directing
credits include the critically-acclaimed comedy "Tropic
Thunder," which won the Broadcast Film Critics' Award for
"Best Comedy" and the Hollywood Film Festival Award for
"Comedy of the Year"; cult comedy "Zoolander," in which he
also starred; iconic indie "Reality Bites"; dark comedy "The
Cable Guy"; and "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," which was
named one of the "Top 10 Films of 2013" by the National
Board of Review. Stiller has amassed one of the most
successful acting careers on record, from movie franchises
"Night at the Museum," "Meet the Parents," and "Madagascar";
to modern classics such as "The Royal Tenenbaums," "Flirting
with Disaster," "There's Something About Mary," and
independent features "Brad's Status," "The Meyerowitz
Stories," "While We're Young" and "Greenberg"; plus
"Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story," "Tower Heist,"
"Permanent Midnight" and Steven Spielberg's "Empire of
the Sun," among countless others.
"The ultra-premium programming from Showtime continues to
push boundaries, delivering some of the best production
auspices and most compelling stories on television today.
'Escape at Dannemora' is no exception, and we look forward
to premiering this highly anticipated limited series, with
the amazing Ben Stiller, at MIPCOM this October," said
Armando Nuñez, President and Chief Executive Officer,
CBS Studios International.
"With its star-studded cast and top-flight writing and
directing credits, we are thrilled to be showcasing 'Escape
at Dannemora' as the MIPCOM World Premiere Screening, and to
welcome series director Ben Stiller in Cannes," said Laurine
Garaude, Director of Reed MIDEM's Television Division.
