The CinemAsia Film Festival in Amsterdam has unveiled titles from seven different Asian countries for its competition section.
The festival will play at the Studio/K, Rialto De Pijp and Rialto Vu venues March 5-10, 2024. The event will close with the out-of-competition screening of “Gaga,” a drama about indigenous communities in Taiwan, directed by Laha Mebow.
“Gaga” documents the challenges faced by a commune after the death of a respected tribal elder who, while alive, had held things together. Following his death problems that emerge include a land dispute, financial difficulties, an unwanted pregnancy and the risk of over-riding ‘Ga Ga’ or old tribal norms. It debuted at the 2022 Golden Horse festival and won the best director and best supporting actress awards. In 2023, it won a trio of awards including best narrative feature at the Taipei Film Festival.

Four years ago, it was announced that Ben Wheatley would be writing, directing, and executive producing Generation Z, a “hilarious, frightening, and political” series that would consist of six hour-long episodes that would “mix flesh-eating zombies into a story that satirizes how Brexit has divided the UK.” That project didn’t make it into production when it was originally supposed to because of the pandemic shutdown… but after making his latest film Meg 2: The Trench (you can read our review at This Link and check out our interview with the filmmaker Here), Wheatley has circled back around to Generation Z and is now knee-deep into filming it! To celebrate the fact that Generation Z is finally being made, Channel 4 has unveiled a batch of first look images, and you can check those out at the bottom of this article.

Showing no signs of slowing down as summer ends, British DJ-producer James Hype has teamed up with Grammy-winning powerhouse Kim Petras on new single ‘Drums’, out now. The track comes as Hype completes his final ‘Our House’ at Hï Ibiza residency set, alongside Italian DJ collective and label mates Meduza, which saw him play to hundreds of thousands of ravers throughout September.
In typical Hype style, ‘Drums’ sees a genius re-working of the instantly recognisable Justin Timberlake classic ‘Like I Love You’, elevated further by Petras’ alluring vocal. An instant set essential, this four-to-the-floor anthem is a production masterclass in stripping back to the fundamentals.
Speaking on the new single, James said: “I came up with the idea for ‘Drums’ in 2019. It was an instrumental called ‘Everybody Dance’, which I played in my sets. The Hypefam heard it and not only demanded I release it, they had already renamed it ‘Drums’ of their own accord!

A finger pokes a small hole through a fusuma (Japanese-style sliding door). A girl bends down and peeks through the hole. She sees something. A woman notices a hole on one of the fusuma in the apartment. Bewildered by this, she moves closer to the door and tries to see through the small crack if there is anything on the other side. Coincidence? Or is there a larger mystery behind the doors?

One of the most intriguing, well-accomplished debuts I saw back at New Directors/New Films in 2018 was Yui Kiyohara’s mysterious drama Our House. The Japanese director returned to the festival this year with Remembering Every Night, a serenely beautiful and humorous ode to summer living near Tokyo following the journeys of a few women. Shot by Yukiko Iioka (Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy)––and, like Ryusuke Hamaguchi, Kiyohara is also a student of Kiyoshi Kurosawa––the Berlinale selection was picked up by KimStim for a theatrical release starting September 15th, alongside Our House, at NYC’s Film at Lincoln Center. Ahead of theatrical release, we’re pleased to exclusively debut the first trailer and below.
Here’s the synopsis: “A film that moves on the rhythms of a gentle breeze, Yui Kiyohara’s follow-up to her acclaimed Our House is an evocatively quotidian film that’s as mysterious and beautiful as everyday life.

“Remembering Every Night” is Yui Kiyohara's second feature-length film. The movie was presented in the 2023 “Berlin International Film Festival” Forum section and is currently showing at the Japanese Film Festival “Nippon Connection” in Frankfurt. The very young director had already presented her debut feature film “Our House” at the 2018 Berlinale, a work that also earned her the Grand Prize at the “Pia Film Festival” and the Best Director award at the 2018 “Asian New Talent Awards” in Shanghai.
Remembering Every Night screened at Nippon Connection
From the very first sequences – shot with a fixed camera – of empty streets, trees, the chirping of birds, and shots of anonymous Japanese buildings, the quite lonesome tone of the work is established. The protagonists are three women: one is searching for a job (Kumi Hyodo), another is a gas meter inspector (Minami Oba), and the third (Ai Mikami) is dealing with university studies and the processing of recent grief.

Cissé was born in Bamako in 1940, encountering cinema as a child and captivated from the first instance, eventually joining the ranks of African filmmakers emerging in concert with the 1960s decolonization and national liberation struggles on the continent.A drama about a rural and an urban worker which doubles as a searing diagnosis of the labor movement in Mali, Baara is...

He’s responsible for several classic rock hits, but several rock stars still hate Neil Young. Maybe not as much as he hated sharing a streaming platform with Joe Rogan (Young pulled his catalog from Spotify), but it’s a close race. Though several bands revere the Canadian singer and guitarist, several musicians hate Young’s music, including Beatles legend George Harrison.

David Crosby spent years playing alongside Young in the sporadically active folk rock supergroup Crosby, Still, Nash & Young. The collective made some beautiful songs together, but Crosby hated Young.
“Well, he’s probably the most self-centered, self-obsessed, selfish person I know,” Crosby told The Guardian in 2021. “He only thinks about Neil, period. That’s the only person he’ll consider. Ever!”

The film Children of the Corn, based on the Stephen King short story, spawned a franchise of considerable durability, but rather dubious quality. The first film was released in 1984 and the series sputtered to a halt in 2018 after the tenth entry, Children of the Corn: Runaway. But nothing ever really dies in the corn and two years later Children of the Corn got its second reboot following the TV version in 2009.
Or rather a reboot was written and directed by Kurt Wimmer. Wimmer who has directed Equilibrium and Ultraviolet is no stranger to reboots having written the new versions of Point Break, The Thomas Crown Affair and Total Recall. But after filming it seemed to disappear back into the cornfields for three years of vague mentions of release dates that came and went.

Exclusive: Sam Mendes has picked Johnny Flynn, Tuppence Middleton and Sherlock’s Mark Gatiss to portray legendary stars Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor and John Gielgud in The Motive and the Cue, a mouth-watering new play by Jack Thorne that explores how acting giants Burton and Gielgud staged Hamlet on Broadway in 1964.
Burton, newly wed to Taylor after their affair on the set of epic film Cleopatra, signed on to play the Danish prince in a fabled production directed by Gielgud in New York.
On opening night in April, 1964, scores of police hemmed in crowds who were as eager to catch a glimpse of Taylor entering the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre as they were to see her husband as the depressed Dane.

"Barbarian" has been out for a couple of weeks now (read our review of it here), but as word-of-mouth about the movie continues to grow, the surprise horror hit of the fall is looking to lure new prospective viewers and rental home guests out to the theater. If you're just now joining us, "Barbarian" stars Georgina Campbell as Tess, a young woman who arrives at the home she booked on 476 Barbarian Barbary Street, only to find that there's another guest already there. It happens to be a guy named Keith, played by Bill Skarsgård, the same actor who brought Pennywise the Clown to life in "It". Keith invites Tess in out of the rain on this proverbial dark and stormy night, and what could possibly go wrong?
"Barbarian" isn't yet playing in my neck of the woods, so if you haven't seen it yet, we're in the same boat. From what I've heard,...

The second series of Jane Austen adaptation Sanditon debuts on PBS Masterpiece Sunday and BritBox Monday but, were it not for a fan-led campaign that the original author would have been proud of, the show could easily have slipped off TV altogether.
A Sanditon Sisterhood campaign kicked into gear when the show was axed by original broadcaster ITV after just one season and, more than a year after the cancellation, Sanditon, which is based on an unfinished Austen manuscript, was revived for a second and third run by co-producer PBS Masterpiece and ITV-owned streamer BritBox.
The Austen-obsessed Sisterhood were energizing, launching a website, Instagram page and even bombarding execs and commissioners with Sanditon gifts including a Saving Sanditon egg box (an oft-quoted line from the show goes “Sanditon will rise from the ashes as sure as eggs are eggs”) and a clutch of Saving Sanditon facemasks.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read this story if you haven’t watched Episode 4 of “Our House.”
As London’s Machiavellian property market continues to feel like a real-life thriller, U.K. broadcaster ITV’s drama “Our House” capitalizes on every buyer’s worst fear of losing their hard-earned home.
Starring Tuppence Middleton (“Downton Abbey”) and Martin Compston (“Line of Duty”), the four-part Hitchcockian thriller from “Sanditon” producers Red Planet Pictures is adapted from Louise Candlish’s 2018 novel of the same name, and may actually be the only thing more anxiety-inducing than closing on anything larger than a garden shed within the M25.
Middleton stars as Fi Lawson, a woman who returns home after a weekend away to discover strangers moving into her house — and her husband Bram (Compston) and children nowhere in sight. The new owners insist that Bram and Fi have been across every part of the sale, but...

During an interview with Radio X show “The Chris Moyles Show,” “Line of Duty” star Martin Compston weighed in on the future of the popular British police procedural.
Compston was asked by host Moyles about updates on “Line of Duty,” which last aired its sixth season in May. Compston shared his belief that the show would return, clarifying that an extended hiatus between seasons isn’t new for the series, which has aired a new season once every two years since its premiere in 2012.
“I’m delighted with the response,” Compston said. “People are now really intrigued to see if there is another one, but there’s nothing changed for us in terms of where we’re at after we finish a series… We always take a year between [seasons] at least. The dust settles and [creator Jed Mercurio] figures out whether there’s a story to tell. So I’m delighted...
