As “Reykjavik,” a look at a critical summit between the U.S. and the Soviet Union that helped determine the fate of the two superpowers, begins shooting in Iceland this week, the drama has brought on Hope Davis, Branka Katic and Aya Cash. They join the Sk Global feature, which has already lined up an impressive ensemble that includes Jeff Daniels as Ronald Reagan, Jared Harris as Mikhail Gorbachev and J.K. Simmons as Secretary of State George Shultz.

Davis, who appeared on Broadway opposite Daniels in “God of Carnage,” will star as Nancy Reagan. Katic is set to play Raisa Gorbachev, wife of the Soviet leader, and Cash has been tapped to portray a young journalist covering the Reykjavik Summit. Production officially commenced Tuesday on location in Reykjavik, where the cast and crew started filming in and around Höfði House, the actual site of a 1986 meeting that happened as the...

“In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony.” (The quote is from Friedrich Nietzsche, but don’t hold that against it.) When it comes to the group of folks living under the same North Macedonian roof in Goran Stolevski’s Housekeeping for Beginners, those same sentiments apply, though we’d amend that it’s a shared animosity toward the world supplies the lubrication and the bonding, while the music that’s bringing them harmony consists of...

MK2, the venerable family-owned film group which operates a leading arthouse multiplex chain in France and Spain, is emerging from the pandemic stronger, cooler and more ambitious than ever.

Nathanaël and Elisha Karmitz, who succeeded their father Marin at the helm of the company in 2005, have galvanized the MK2 brand with activities ranging from films, art, publishing, technology and lifestyle. The common threads between all these ventures are a taste for singularity, curation and a socially-minded approach.

After scoring big at Cannes in 2019 with Mati Diop’s “Atlantics” and Celine Sciamma’s “Portrait of a Lady on Fire,” which competed and won prizes, MK2 Films will again boast a fairly large presence for the festival’s comeback edition with nine films across several selections, including the competition with Joachim Trier’s “The Worst Person in the World,” the new Cannes Premiere section with Andrea Arnold’s “Cow,” Un Certain Regard...

MOSCOW -- Leading Serbian film directors including Goran Paskaljevic (Midwinter Night's Dream) and Emir Kusturica (White Cat, Black Cat) are taking the head of the country's film funding agency to court after the lion's share of nearly $1 million in subsidies was handed out to foreign co-productions. The action, supported by the Serbian Association of Film Directors and Screenwriters -- which is also calling for the resignation of Djordje Milicevic, head of funding agency the Serbian Film Center -- follows a public outcry after €800,000 ($991,00) of public money was given to just four productions, two of which were co-productions with neighboring Romania and Croatia. Serbian filmmakers allege that rules dictating matched spending of funds within Serbia by co-productions were not followed and that other irregularities and conflicts of interest call the grants into question. They also question the choice of an international distributor for three of the films they say have close ties to the funding agency chief.
