Vietnam talent showed strong presence at the 12th QCinema International Film Festival in Quezon City, Philippines, as Trương Minh Quý’s “Viet and Nam” claimed the top prize, while compatriot Dương Diệu Linh’s “Don’t Cry, Butterfly” secured the Grand Jury Prize.

“Viet and Nam,” which made its debut in Cannes Un Certain Regard, emerged victorious in the Asian Next Wave competition. The jury, comprising Babyruth Villarama, Gabor Greiner, Ming-Jung Kuo and Nguyen Le, praised the film for “conjuring the haunting presence of trauma and memories that are embedded within the landscape, and tenderly following a romance that unfolds deep within the coal mines.”

“Don’t Cry, Butterfly,” Dương’s debut feature, follows a middle-aged wife who, upon discovering her husband’s infidelity, embarks on a mystical journey in search of a better life. The film previously won three prizes at Venice.

Elizabeth Lo took home the Best Director award for “Mistress Dispeller,...

“This film is important, but the most important [thing] for us right now is to bring the hostages back home and for the Israel-Middle East conflict to stop as fast as possible,” says Nir Bergman, one of Israel’s most esteemed filmmakers, in a conversation with Variety about his Tallinn competition entry “Pink Lady.”

Bergman, whose credits include the multi-awarded pics “Broken Wings,” Cannes selected “Here We Are” as well as the original Israeli series “BeTipul,” later turned into HBO’s “In Treatment,” has peaceful messages of tolerance and acceptance in many of his works.

His latest drama, “Pink Lady,” running in the official selection of Tallinn’s Black Nights Film Festival, tackles the topic of hidden sexual desires and homosexuality in an ultra-Orthodox community in Jerusalem.

The story turns on Bati, a young woman seemingly happy with her husband, Lazer, and their three children. However, cracks in their relationship start...

“Dahomey,” “Ernest Cole: Lost and Found,” “The Remarkable Life of Ibelin,” “Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat” and “Sugarcane” are among the 20 nonfiction films that have made the shortlist for the International Documentary Association’s 2024 IDA Documentary Awards, the IDA announced on Thursday morning.

The shortlisted features come from 21 different countries and include works by Mati Diop (“Dahomey”), Raoul Peck (“Ernest Cole: Lost and Found”). The IDA’s feature shortlist is typically idiosyncratic in that it doesn’t include several of the most acclaimed and highest-profile nonfiction films of the year, including “Will & Harper,” “Daughters,” “Piece by Piece,” “Mountain Queen” and “Union.”

Of the 20 films on the IDA shortlist, eight also appeared on the Doc NYC list of likely awards titles: “Black Box Diaries,” “Dahomey,” “Ernest Cole: Lost and Found,” “No Other Land,” Queendom,” “The Remarkable Life of Ibelin,” “Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat” and “Sugarcane.”

On October 22, 2024, the QCinema International Film Festival announced its much-anticipated lineup for this year, with The Gaze as its central theme. With 76 titles—22 short films and 55 full-length features—spanning across 11 distinct sections, the festival invites audiences to explore diverse perspectives through film. The Gaze seeks to challenge and expand how we view the world, from traditional masculine and feminine perspectives to new and transformative ways of seeing.

Quezon City Mayor Maria Josefina Belmonte officially opened the occasion, emphasizing QCinema’s vital role in advancing the city government’s cultural policies. She highlighted the festival’s contribution to Quezon City’s vision for sustainability and environmental friendliness, underscoring the partnership between the city and the festival to fulfill these goals.

The 12th edition of QCinema will open with Directors’ Factory Philippines, an omnibus film project in collaboration with Cannes Directors’ Fortnight. The project features four films created by Filipino directors alongside filmmakers from neighboring countries.

The Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (known as PÖFF) has unveiled the full lineup of its flagship Official Selection, whose 18 features from 23 countries will compete for the coveted €20,000 Grand Prix.

They include 11 world premieres. The jury is helmed by acclaimed German director Christoph Hochhäusler.

Tiina Lokk, the founder and director of the festival, said “the Official Selection Competition has it all! There’s a psycho-thriller that approaches horror, a psychological family drama, and sci-fi genre is represented. The selection is broad, and so is the range of countries. We’re not trying to highlight a certain theme or a particular region, we are free in our choices,” she noted.

Emphasizing the various topics covered, Lokk cites old age, the end of life and euthanasia “perhaps due to the influence of Covid,” domestic violence and war, “not tackled in the traditional form” but rather via psychological dramas.

“Last year there were...

Oscar-nominated Rosamund Pike will make her debut at London’s National Theatre in 2025, and they’ve given her the starring role in the world premiere of a new work by Suzie Miller, the playwright who created Prima Facie, the legal drama that catapulted Jodie Comer to Olivier and Tony Award trophies.

Pike has been cast in Miller’s Inter Alia, in which she’ll play a British High Court judge forced to reckon with conflict in her private and professional life. The production will reunite Miller with director Justin Martin, who also directed Comer in Prima Facie in the West End and on Broadway.

Inter Alia will be part of the final season of National Theatre director and co-chief executive Rufus Norris, who steps down from his post on March 31, 2025 after a decade at the helm of the UK’s flagship theatrical institution. Norris...

On Tuesday, March 5, Foo Fighters will take a rare detour from stadium, arena and amphitheater stages to perform at a private, one-night-only concert in Washington, D.C. hosted by Power to the Patients, a non-profit fighting for a more affordable, accessible, and equitable healthcare system through true price transparency.

Find out more about the concert here.

Hip hop legends Fat Joe and Chuck D will also be in attendance.

“When we were asked by Power to the Patients to help raise awareness of the need for transparency in healthcare pricing, we immediately said yes. People suffering from illness and injury shouldn’t have to worry about being bankrupted by surprise charges for their treatment.” — Foo Fighters

With lawmakers, government officials, and their dedicated staff in attendance, Foo Fighters will join the drive to raise awareness about the inequality and uncertainty created for millions of patients when hospitals and insurers hide actual upfront prices.

Today, the Recording Academy is handing out all of their 2024 Grammy Award trophies!

Steven Pasquale and Jeremy Shamos started working on the new Stephen Sondheim musical, Here We Are, seven years ago, while others, like Denis O’Hare, were asked to join the project last summer.

But for everyone now starring in the show, which opened Off-Broadway at The Shed on Oct. 22, joining the project was an immediate yes, largely due to the novelty of being in a new Sondheim piece, which ended up being the composer’s first new show in decades, as well as his last.

“I know all [his] shows. I know the music. I didn’t even have to read it. I said yes before I read it,” said Bobby Cannavale, who is part of the show’s ensemble cast, which also includes David Hyde Pierce, Micaela Diamond and Rachel Bay Jones.

Here We Are, which features a book by David Ives and direction by Joe Mantello, is based on two surrealist films by Luis Buñuel,...

“Sometimes people leave you halfway through the wood,” Cinderella sings in “No One Is Alone,” Stephen Sondheim’s clear-eyed reassurance of support and survival at the end of Into the Woods. Sondheim himself, who passed away in November 2021, left artistic companions, including book writer David Ives and director Joe Mantello, halfway through a wood they were constructing together: the musical Here We Are, now playing off-Broadway at the Shed’s Griffin Theater. With his final offering, Sondheim sends one last jolt of structural inventiveness coursing through the veins of the musical theater form. Here We Are may not operate on the grand scale of Sweeney Todd or Into the Woods or Follies, but it is, to quote the composer-lyricist, small and funny and fine.

Here We Are adapts two films by Luis Buñuel. The first act riffs on 1972’s The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie. Ives borrows the basic premise...

A relatively quiet year in our Grammy predictions has been livening up with a few major releases and announcements. With less than two months remaining in this eligibility period (which ends September 15), the race for Album of the Year is continuing to take shape. Scroll down for our graph to see how our odds have changed over time.

SEECould Joni Mitchell be the next Grammys Album of the Year winner?

Taylor Swift (“Midnights“) and Sza (“Sos”) maintain a sizable lead in first and second place, respectively. Those are two of the year’s biggest hit albums with a combined 16 weeks atop the Billboard 200 albums chart, and both are still in the top 10 despite having been released last fall. But are they really the top contenders to win? Swift has already taken Album of the year three times, so the recording academy might be reluctant to give her a fourth so soon.

Updated, 11:20 Am: The producers of Here We Are have announced the cast for the first production of Stephen Sondheim’s final musical.

Francois Battiste, Tracie Bennett, Bobby Cannavale, Micaela Diamond, Amber Gray, Jin Ha, Rachel Bay Jones, Denis O’Hare, Steven Pasquale, David Hyde Pierce, and Jeremy Shamos are set for the show, which opens September 28 for a limited Off Broadway engagement at The Shed.

Read details of the show below.

Previously, March 16: Stephen Sondheim’s final, long-awaited musical Here We Are will make its world premiere September 28 in a strictly limited Off Broadway engagement to be directed by two-time Tony winner Joe Mantello.

Formerly known as Square One, the final musical composed by Sondheim before his death in 2021 will be staged at The Shed, the Manhattan arts center that opened in 2019.

Additional information including specific production dates and casting will be announced soon. Producer Tom Kirdahy made the premiere announcement today.

Have you been paying attention to the Best New Artist class of 2022 lately? The highly talented group of 10, ranging from indie darlings to pop powerhouses, has been quite active recently, with a couple having music that is either out recently or is slated to be released in the coming months. As such, perhaps it’s a good time to keep an eye on these nominees, because you might end up predicting them for awards in 2024.

Best New Artist winner Olivia Rodrigo releases a new single, “Vampire,” on June 30 and is rumored to be dropping her highly anticipated sophomore album soon. Rodrigo’s debut album, “Sour,” became an instant sensation; it was the second biggest album of 2022 and earned Rodrigo four top-10 smash hits. The album also won Rodrigo two additional Grammys besides Best New Artist: Best Pop Solo Performance (“Drivers License”) and Best Pop Vocal Album. Since her win Rodrigo...

Foo Fighters announced a release date for their new album, But Here We Are, the group’s first new music since the death of Taylor Hawkins in March of 2022.

The band also shared a lyric video for the first single, “Rescued,” from the album out June 2.

“It came in a flash / It came out of nowhere / It happened so fast / And then it was over,” Dave Grohl sings at the beginning of the song. “Are you thinking what I’m thinking? / Is this happening now? / Are you feeling what I’m feeling? / This is happening now.”

After honoring Hawkins with two tribute concerts in London and Los Angeles in September, Foo Fighters have been slowly easing back into the spotlight and are set to resume touring on May 24 in New Hampshire.

The group revealed at the end of 2022, “the most difficult and tragic year that our band has ever known,...

Foo Fighters will release the band’s first album since longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins died in March, the group’s label has announced.

The album, But Here We Are, will drop on June 2 on the Roswell Records/RCA Records label. The first single, “Rescued,” is available now (listen to it below).

The press release announcing the album calls But Here We Are a “brutally honest and emotionally raw response to everything Foo Fighters endured over the last year.”

“But Here We Are is a testament to the healing powers of music, friendship and family. Courageous, damaged and unflinchingly authentic, But Here We Are opens with newly released lead single “Rescued,” the first of 10 songs that run the emotional gamut from rage and sorrow to serenity and acceptance, and myriad points in between.”

Hawkins died March 25, 2022, just before the band was set to perform at a festival in Bogota, Colombia. The...

Foo Fighters have announced their new album, But Here We Are, which will release this summer.

On Wednesday (19 April), the rock band dropped the record’s lead single “Rescued”, marking their first new music since the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins in March 2022.

The group’s 10-song album, produced by the band and Greg Kurstin, will release via Roswell Records and RCA Records on 2 June.

Other songs on the record include “Under You”, “Hearing Voices”, “But Here We Are”, “The Glass”, “Nothing At All”, Show Me How”, “Beyond Me”, “The Teacher” and “Rest”.

But Here We Are is a “brutally honest and emotionally raw response to everything Foo Fighters endured over the last year”, according to a press release.

The sentiment alludes to the unexpected passing of Hawkins last year while the band was touring South America.

At the time, the group, led by Dave Grohl, was scheduled to play...

After teasing their return to new music and lining up headlining festival gigs, Foo Fighters have announced that their new album But Here We Are — the band’s first album since the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins — will arrive in June.

Ahead of the LP’s June 2nd release, Dave Grohl and company have shared the lyric video for the first single and opening track “Rescued”:

“It came in a flash/It came out of nowhere,” Grohl sings in the opening. “It happened so fast/And then it was over.

Foo Fighters have announced a new album called But Here We Are, set for release on June 2nd. It marks the band’s first collection of music since the tragic passing of drummer Taylor Hawkins in March 2022.

Described as “the first chapter of the band’s new life,” But Here We Are is “the sound of brothers finding refuge in the music that brought them together in the first place 28 years ago, a process that was as therapeutic as it was about a continuation of life,” notes a press release. The album was produced by Greg Kurstin and Foo Fighters.

The first single, “Rescued,” is streaming below.

This summer, Foo Fighters will perform at upcoming festivals like Bonnaroo, Fuji Rock, Louder Than Life, and Ohana, as well as play a string of headlining dates with support from The Breeders. The shows mark their first tour dates after hitting the stage...

Prime Video has rounded out the fifth and final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel with a stellar list of guest stars and a key recurring. Hank Azaria (Brockmire), Sutton Foster (The Music Man), Darren Criss (The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story), Danny Strong (Dopesick) and Sean Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) are joining the fifth and final season as guest stars with David Paymer returning to reprise his role as Harry Drake. Additionally, Tony-nominated Alexander Gemignani (Carousel) has been tapped for a heavily recurring role in Season 5. Character details, other than Paymer, are not being revealed.

The roles will reunite Sutton, Strong and Gunn with series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino. Sutton recorded “I Enjoy Being a Girl” for season 3 of Maisel and also starred in Sherman-Palladino’s Bunheads. Strong and Gunn both appeared on Gilmore Girls, created by Sherman-Palladino.

Stephen Sondheim’s final musical will have its world premiere in New York this fall.

The musical, which was formerly known as Square One and is now titled Here We Are, is inspired by two Luis Buñuel films, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and The Exterminating Angel. Joe Mantello (Wicked, Assassins) directs the musical, which features a book by David Ives.

Performances will begin in September for a strictly limited engagement off-Broadway at The Shed’s Griffin Theater.

Sondheim, who died in November 2021 at the age of 91, had been working on this project for years. A production of a musical, created by Ives and Sondheim, was set to premiere off-Broadway at The Public Theater in 2017, but never made it to the stage.

In September 2021, the legendary composer told Stephen Colbert that he was writing Square One with Ives and hoped to stage it in the next season. In what...

Room, the stage adaptation of the bestselling novel and 2015 film, will not come to Broadway this spring as planned: Producers announced today that the show has been postponed indefinitely “due to a shortfall in capitalization” following the withdrawal of a Lead Producer.

Women Direct. Korean Indies! – Korean Women Independent Film Series

In South Korea, women have been voicing out loud through activist movements such as #EscapeTheCorset, #MeToo, #MyLifeIsNotYourPorn, and 4B. The first feminist political party, the Women’s Party, has also been recently formed to fight for more influence in the development of the deeply patriarchal and conservative Korean society.
