Dutch Film Festival 2024 Review: LIKE TEARS IN RAIN, A Loving Portrait Of A Private, Adventurous Man

For film actor Rutger Hauer, the bravado of his early Dutch films as Turkish Delight, Soldier of Orange and the thoughtful villainy of Blade Runner were his signature as an actor. In the 1982 science fiction film made by Ridley Scott, Rutger Hauer played the role of ‘replicant’ Roy Batty. Hauer said much later, in 2012, about it: ‘I saw the future but I didn’t know what I was looking at yet’. And the future in Blade Runner takes place – twist of fate – in 2019, the year the actor passed away. ‘I saw the future’. It is almost the same sentence that Rutger Hauer came up with the night before filming for his character Roy, a sentence that will remain in film forever:…

Combustible Substances: Pete Ohs Filmed ‘Erupcja’ with Charli XCX & Jeremy O. Harris in Poland

Combustible Substances: Pete Ohs Filmed ‘Erupcja’ with Charli XCX & Jeremy O. Harris in Poland

Micro-budget American indie filmmaker Pete Ohs really doesn’t miss a beat. When he’s not directing—keeping up a steady pace with Youngstown (2021), Jethica (2022) and Love and Work (2024) — he might be on the editing dock with (e.g. Slave Play. Not a Movie. A Play.). And when he’s not in those functions, he is serving as a cinematographer — look out for Albert Birney’s OBEX, set to release in 2025. Now comes word that Erupcja (which was recently selected to participate in this year’s U.S.in Progress in Wroclaw) had a bitr more mustard on it. Players include Lena Góra (Roving Woman), Will Madden and two artists now firmly getting into the acting game in playwright Jeremy O.… Read the rest

Injustice Comes Home In U.S. Trailer for Mohammad Rasoulof’s The Seed of the Sacred Fig

Few titles at Cannes carried greater weight than The Seed of the Sacred Fig, Mohammad Rasoulof’s first project to debut since an exile from his native Iran––little wonder in light of its focus on injustice and unrest as they reflect on the country’s women. Following a special award from the festival and pitstops in Toronto […]

Tennis Anyone?: Film Movement to Serve Leonardo Van Dijl’s Cannes Fave ‘Julie Keeps Quiet’

Tennis Anyone?: Film Movement to Serve Leonardo Van Dijl’s Cannes Fave ‘Julie Keeps Quiet’

A new voice in Belgian cinema emerged earlier this year when the Cannes Critics’ Week section premiered Julie Keeps Quiet – the directorial debut by Leonardo Van Dijl who until that point had worked on docu, shorts and music vids. With some notably filkm fest premieres (namely TIFF) and a major push forward being his country’s Best International Feature Film selection, now Film Movement has landed the U.S. theatrical rights for what will be an early 2025 release. We think this could be among the first wave of films to make it to the final noms. We were at the Critics’ Week world premiere – see below.… Read the rest

Sound And Vision: Gore Verbinski

In the article series Sound and Vision we take a look at music videos from notable directors. This week: Gore Verbinski’s music videos. Gore Verbinski has had an erratic career, going from big blockbusters to weird passion projects. With genres that run the gamut from comedy, to horror, to swashbuckler, even dipping his stylistic toes into animation. Still, there are many visual and thematic throughlines in his oeuvre, some of which also showed up in his music video days. By looking at three music videos, I want to highlight three different Verbinski-isms. Over the course of his career several images return. One of those is creepy crawlies, like pill bugs (Rango) or crabs (Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End) or mice (Mouse Hunt) carrying…

EMILIA PÉREZ, A DIFFERENT MAN, BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE and More at SCAD Savannah 2024

Regional film festivals are the unsung heroes of the film circuit. They bring smaller titles to a local audience that might not otherwise get to see them, and they can also bring the larger films with their stars, directors, and producers, to help shine a light on the industry. It gives audiences a chance to engage with films large and small, fiction and non-fiction, live action and animated, as well as the people who make them. SCAD Savannah Film Festival has been doing that for nearly 30 years, in its beautiful corner of Georgia. Being a university-run festival means that there is a focus on education and enlightenment as much as entertainment. And the festival teams have outdone themselves this year, with a range of…
