On her latest single “Man I Need,” Olivia Dean admits, “I kinda like it when you call me wonderful.” In the accompanying Jake Erland-directed video, the magnetic British singer-songwriter effortlessly earns her praise. On a filming lot, she mingles with seven prospects who do their best to impress her and land the role of the man she needs.

“‘Man I Need” is a song about knowing how you deserve to be loved and not being afraid to ask for it,” Dean shared in a statement. “It’s forward, sexy,...

Olivia Dean delivered her debut performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with the persuasive, no-strings-attached single “Nice to Each Other.”

Accompanied by her band and a breezy wind machine, the British musician brought Seventies glam to the stage with modern romance. “Meet me on the mountaintop/I’ll be in the shallow end/And wait for you to call it off/’Cause I don’t want a boyfriend,” Dean sings. “But we could be nice to each other/Nice to each other/Wrong for each other/Right for each other.

EnergaCamerimage, the cinematography-focused film festival that will take place in Torun, Poland, Nov. 11-18, has announced three more films for its Main Competition: “El Conde,” “Filip” and “Ferrari.”

“El Conde,” helmed by Chilean director Pablo Larraín, is billed as a dark comedy/horror picture that imagines a parallel universe in which Chile’s late fascistic dictator Augusto Pinochet is a vampire hiding away in a ruined mansion.

The film was lensed by Ed Lachman, the only Dp to have completed a Camerimage trifecta, having collected a Golden Frog for “Carol” (2015), a Silver Frog for “Far From Heaven” 2002) and a Bronze Frog for “I’m Not There” (2007).

Lachman was also nominated for “Wonderstruck” (2017) and in 2011, together with Todd Haynes, he was recognized with the Camerimage Cinematographer-Director Duo Award.

Lachman and Larraín will attend the fest to introduce the “El Conde” screening and participate in a Q&a.

Chaitanya Tamhane’s “The Disciple,” the first Indian film in Venice Film Festival’s competition since 2001, is set across three different time frames. It follows an aspiring classical music performer, Sharad Nerulkar, played by debutant Aditya Modak, on a journey that resembles that of a monk following a guru, experiencing sacrifice and solitude along the way.

People who are not familiar with it often think it is a niche, dying subculture,” he said. “But on the contrary, it is an ever-evolving artform, rich, non-static tapestry that has impressed and inspired many Western musicians, including Philip Glass, John McLaughlin and The Beatles.”

Tamhane started the project with zero knowledge on the subject, he said, but two years of reading, traveling, interviewing and attending concerts made him “obsessed with it.
