The 2022 Tribeca Festival rounds out its lineup with the official games selection, announced on April 26. The events will celebrate the convergence of games, entertainment, and culture through nine interactive experiences.
Each selection will vie for the Tribeca Games Award, which honors an unreleased game for its excellence in art and storytelling through design, artistic mastery, and highly immersive worlds.
The games program features the world premieres of “Immortality,” an interactive trilogy in which players can explore the legend of Marissa Marcel, a film star who disappeared, through her work; “Oxenfree II: Lost Signals,” the mind-bending follow up to the critically acclaimed narrative adventure “Oxenfree,” from Night School Studio; and “Cuphead – The Delicious Last Course,” another helping of classic “Cuphead” action with new weapons, magical charms, and more.

"You have to try to be invisible." 1091 Pictures has unveiled an official trailer for a documentary film titled Havana Libre, about surfing in Cuba. It first premiered at the Big Sky Film Festival last year, and will be on VOD to watch later this month. Just five years ago, if you flew above the 3,500 miles of pristine coastline that surrounds Cuba, you likely would not have seen a single surfer. Surfing was outlawed—thanks to highly policed borders and pervasive skepticism of Western culture. A spirited 29-year-old with chin-length wavy hair, Frank Gonzáles Guerra started "surfing" in his teens on a scrap of plywood roofing he stole off a building. He taught himself how to craft his own out of discarded refrigerator doors. Over time, a tightknit underground community formed. Over six years of filming, co-star Yaya Guerrero - an inspiring woman who confronted machismo culture to become respected...

When HBO Max drops the fifth and final season of Neapolitan gangster saga “Gomorrah” on Jan. 27, it will also mark the end of a convoluted seven-year journey for Italy’s most widely exported TV show.
“In Italian TV, there is a before and after ‘Gomorrah,’” says Nils Hartmann, senior VP of Germany and Italy for Sky Studios, the production arm of the pay TV operator that originated the gritty, hyperrealistic crime skein.
Besides attaining megahit status in Italy, the show has traveled to 190 countries, including the U.S., where it ran into snags due to the misdeeds of Harvey Weinstein and The Weinstein Co.’s 2018 bankruptcy.
“It was a big mess,” says Oliver Bachert, sales chief at Germany’s Beta, which was selling the show.
He notes that on top of thorny rights issues, the moral quandaries and the stigma of the bankruptcy effectively blocked “Gomorrah” on its U.S.

The basic idea at the heart of the animated “Hotel Transylvania” movies has never exactly been dignifying toward some of cinema history’s most feared classical monsters. The blood-thirsty Count Dracula reimagined as a fretting, overprotective dad straight out of “Father of the Bride”? A shy Invisible Man, a phobic Frankenstein, a toilet-clogging Bigfoot and a gang of other famous beasts vacationing at their vampire pal’s secluded gothic resort, just to escape the terrors of ordinary humans that they somehow fear?
Still, Genndy Tartakovsky’s wildly successful first film was winsome enough with its amusing albeit one-note witticisms about monster-verse clichés and Adam Sandler’s wickedly spirited voice performance as the bleh-bleh-bleh-averse Drac, before a pair of bland cash-cow sequels (also helmed by Tartakovsky) sucked all the life out of a decent premise. Releasing on Prime Video this week, co-directors Derek Drymon and Jennifer Kluska’s pointless chapter “Hotel Transylvania: Transformania...
