“Unconditional,” set to woo buyers at the London TV Screenings on Feb. 26, might be Keshet’s biggest project to date and, distributed internationally by Keshet International, one of its biggest plays at the event, but creators Adam Bizanski and Dana Idisis started out small.
“For us, it really started with this mother whose daughter was arrested. She’s a normal woman and she’s never really left her neighborhood before, and now she needs to embark on this massive adventure. That’s how the show got so big,” says Bizanski, who also wrote the script.
In the thriller, produced by Spiro Films and directed by Jonathan Gurfinkle, a mother-daughter vacation turns into a nightmare when 25-year-old Gali is arrested for drug smuggling during a layover in Moscow. But Orna refuses to give up on her child.

The life cycle of a Foo Fighters song doesn’t always end with a track being recorded, released, and performed on tour. They have records that have made it onto albums, but never onto a tour setlist. They also have some that never made it past the early recording stages, but have been performed live on tour — this is the case for “Unconditional,” a demo the band largely forgot about until they began rehearsing for their current run of live shows. Thursday night, at the Everything or Nothing at All U.

Foo Fighters kicked off the UK run of their 2024 tour in Manchester on Thursday night with a major surprise: the debut of a long lost song called “Unconditional.”
Reached for more information, a representative for the band said the song was “partially written and demo’d during home studio sessions years ago — but ultimately left unfinished. The band’s rediscovery of ‘Unconditional’ happened in true spontaneous Foo Fighters fashion: The song came up in conversation during rehearsals for the UK tour, and all it took was one run-through — The decision was made instantly to share it with everyone in the same way – live.”

Spoiler Alert: The story includes details about The Good Doctor Episode 709, “Unconditional.”
It’s the beginning of the end as ABC’s The Good Doctor tonight kicked off its two-part series finale. The first hour had hallmarks of a happy series closer — a wedding and a fan-favorite couple rekindling their romance after years apart — before the episode took a double dark turn at the end.
Things got off to a great start when Claire Browne (returning original cast member Antonia Thomas) reunited with Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore) as she came by to get a lump in her breast checked out. It had been ruled benign in Guatemala where she heads surgery but it turned out to be cancerous. A surgery to remove it led by Claire’s ex Jared Kalu (Chuku Modu) and Shaun was initially unsuccessful but a followup did the trick, and Claire was on her way to...

New York’s Tribeca Film Festival is turning 22 this year, and from June 5-16 will be bringing another bumper crop of American and international indies to film screens in lower Manhattan. And sure, we’d all like to eat cannolis with Robert De Niro at one of those fancy bakeries they have down there, but unfortunately not all of us are talented enough to create a Tribeca-worthy feature or short. Luckily, we have proxies available in the form of three Film Independent Fiscal Sponsorship-supported projects!

The Good Doctor season 7, episode 9 brings back the character Claire Browne, but her joy is short-lived with a shocking diagnosis. The trailer hints at a potentially tragic ending for Claire as the series finale approaches, fitting with the show's themes. While the fate of Claire remains uncertain, her storyline will likely revolve around her diagnosis and its impact on Shaun.

"I get way more scared and embarrassed having to talk about my personal life in interviews than saying it in a song," Prince Royce admits during an interview in Los Angeles for his new album, "Llamada Perdida," which dropped Friday. With a decade-plus career that has generally been free of controversy, the Dominican American bachata artist and pop star is wearing his heart on his sleeve in his first LP since a very public divorce. Prince Royce says he has found healing through music while re-prioritizing himself and pushing the bachata genre to new places.
"Right now, I feel like I'm in a good place," he tells Popsugar. "Everybody has problems. It's just how you deal with them, and I think it's all part of growth. That's how I took in this experience in my personal life that happened in the last two years."

Prince Royce has a “weird relationship” with his new album, Llamada Pérdida, out today. The new album has 23 songs that he describes as “bachata in 4K,” as he explores genre fusions while getting in touch with his emotions. The lyrics show a more vulnerable side of the singer, including some of the difficult moments surrounding his split from his longtime partner Emeraude Toubia in 2022.
Though the music captures the singer dealing with both the heartbreak and the healing after the breakup, he’s in a much happier place now. (When...

Feeder have announced a new double album Black / Red for release on 5th April 2024 on Big Teeth Music via Townsend Music / Absolute Label Services. Black / Red completes a trilogy of albums joined to 2022’s UK Top 5 album Torpedo. New double A-side single ‘Playing With Fire’ / ‘Elf’ / is out now.
‘Elf’, which lead singer and guitarist Grant Nicholas describes as “a call to arms”, and ‘Playing With Fire’s “roller coaster ride of self-discovery”, reaffirm the band’s knack for sticky melodies and livewire riffs. Songs across Black / Red carry with them the same sense of wide-open space, freedom and possibility, aligned with an optimistic energy that first lit the fuse for Torpedo. Cohesive and connected rather than a concept, Black / Red is a continuation of Torpedo’s conversation but at the same time a full stop on a prolific songwriting period that encapsulates a very specific moment in time for the band.

Following special screenings of their films, the directors take the stage for a no-holds-barred conversation about the tough questions dominating communities of color: why aren’t they seen as American stories? Are they scared to tell their own stories?...

Half a century ago Hollywood was frantically trying to figure out the newly-dominant “youth market.” Since some of that market had recently found Jesus, there was a brief spate of related films: Zefferelli’s hippie-fied St. Francis biopic “Brother Sun, Sister Moon,” adapted stage musicals “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Godspell,” the Billy Graham-produced “A Time to Run” chief among them. But as the “Jesus Movement” got absorbed into more mainstream institutions, the brief vogue flickered out.
For a moment there, however, counterculture and Christ had a groovy thing going on, one that promised both salvation for those who’d gone overboard on sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll, as well as a healthy shakeup of churches that had lost touch with younger generations. Dramatizing that moment is “Jesus Revolution,” an engaging, upbeat new effort from co-directors Jon Erwin (“I Can Only Imagine”) and Brent McCorkle (“Unconditional”), adapted from Greg Laurie’s memoir.

We’re almost through the month of February, and while Marvel’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” should remain #1, it’s likely to have a pretty major drop based on its “B” CinemaScore, and the fact that it opened over a holiday weekend. Look for “Ant-Man” to bring in around $40 million or possibly even less on its second weekend. Read on for Gold Derby’s box office preview.

If you’re reading this, you’ve likely already listened to Arcade Fire’s sixth album We, which is not as phenomenal as the early hype may have suggested and not as disappointing as their last outing. One of the album’s highlights, however, is Unconditional I (Lookout Kid), perhaps the band’s ultimate dad rock ballad. Following the album, the band have now released the official music video.
Directed by Benh Zeitlin and edited by Affonso Gonçalves, the video features a swirl of youthful imagery and gives some anthropomorphic qualities to inflatable air dancers (clearly having a comeback this summer with Jordan Peele’s Nope as well), while also revealing that onstage “attack” at their recent show was, indeed, staged.
“Zeitlin’s approach employs fragmented images revolving around a set of thematic ideas — youth, loneliness, pleasure, pain — all converging around unconditional love, and all using wind as the central visual mechanism,...

British singer Shygirl teamed up with producer Arca on the new track “Unconditional,” which arrived Friday following a week of protests after the murder of George Floyd. Proceeds from the sparse two-minute song will benefit Black Lives America and Inquest UK.
“I felt overwhelmed this week,” Shygirl wrote of the track on Bandcamp. “Inundated with imagery and news that triggered emotions I was not immediately ready to deal with. I found myself reaching for a lifeline, a brief moment of reprieve to steady me before I inevitably returned to the news,...

Reflections in a Golden Eye
Blu ray
Warner Archives
1967 / 2.35:1/ 108 min.
Starring Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, Brian Keith, Julie Harris
Cinematography by Aldo Tonti
Directed by John Huston
“There is a fort in the South where a few years ago a murder was committed.”
That’s an oddly detached way to begin a story that thrives on hysteria. It’s the prelude to Carson McCuller’s novel with an equally blasé title, Army Post. Inspired by the “alien” atmosphere of Fort Benning during the writer’s childhood, the book was first serialized over two issues of Harper’s Bazaar in 1940. One can only imagine an unsuspecting fashionista browsing the latest styles and coming across this sordid tale of voyeurism, homosexuality and self-mutilation.
McCuller’s book was published the following year as Reflections in a Golden Eye – fifteen years later Burt Lancaster’s production company showed more than a passing interest,...
