Kirsten Niehuus, CEO at Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, which funds films and TV series production in the Berlin region, and Simone Baumann, managing director of German Films, which promotes and supports the release of German films abroad, welcomed a wide array of guests to their garden party at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday.
Three Medienboard-funded films are in this year’s Competition: Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania’s “Four Daughters,” Austrian filmmaker Jessica Hausner’s “Club Zero,” and U.S. helmer Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City.”
Niehuus told Variety: “Those are three very different productions, but it shows the spectrum [of films] that Medienboard supports.” Tunisian films, like “Four Daughters,” need international co-production funding to get made, she said, and “we believe in world cinema, so were very happy [to back it].” Hausner is “one of the most impressive female filmmakers [in the world], and I think there should be more female filmmakers on the Croisette and every other ‘A’ festival,...

The 33rd edition of the International Dortmund | Cologne Women's Film Festival came to a successful conclusion after six days of films and events. At the awards ceremony on Sunday evening held in Cologne's Odeon Cinema, four prizes were awarded with prize money totaling €16,000.
The Ecuadorian director Ana Cristina Barragán convinced the international jury with her debut work "Alba" and was in Cologne in person to pick up the €10,000 prize. The jury consisted of screenwriter, director and producer Ana Cruz Navarro (Mexico), director and screenwriter Angelina Maccarone (Germany) and producer and director Marilyn Watelet (Belgium). They explained their decision as follows
"Ana Cristina Barragán creates the intimate portrait of a girl on the verge of adulthood struggling to balance the yearning to belong against the price she has to pay for it. Thanks to the cinematographic verve and a tenderness of view, no explanatory dialogues are required to get under our skin. From the very first moment of the film, we see the world radically only through the eyes of this serious young girl – wonderfully played by Macarena Arias. Barragán tells a coming-of-age story that goes far beyond itself and thus becomes a strong expression of love."
Endowed with €1,000 and sponsored by choices, a listings magazine, the Audience Prize 2016 was awarded to film director Leona Goldstein for her documentary film "God is Not Working on Sunday!" (Rwa/De). Eligible for nomination was any film longer than sixty minutes to be shown at the festival.
The winners of the National Competition for Women Directors of Photography had been selected in the run-up to the festival. The award is shared by the directors of photography Katharina Diessner in the documentary category for the film "Arlette. Courage is a Muscle" (dir. Florian Hoffmann) and by Julia Hönemann in the feature film category for "Porn Punk Poetry" (dir. Maurice Hübner). Prizes were worth €2,500 each this year with the feature film award being sponsored by the Dfg German Film Insurance Pool. The jury comprised Sophie Maintigneux and Bella Halben, both directors of photography themselves, and Christiane Schmidt, last year's winner
Festival Director Silke J. Räbiger was more than pleased with the general feedback and the all-round successful collaboration with cooperation partners such as the Cologne Academy of Media Arts, medica mondiale, the Cologne International Film School Cologne, Gold + Concrete and the local cinemas – the Odeon, the Film Forum at the Museum Ludwig, the Filmpalette and the Altes Pfandhaus.
The next festival will be taking place from 4 to 9 April 2017 in Dortmund.

This will be the year that revenue from streaming passes revenue from DVD sales, according to a recent article in the Hollywood Reporter.
How do we feel about this? I ask as a movie-watcher who subscribes to Netflix, Hulu and Fandor, and also rents online from Amazon and Vudu. iTunes gets none of my business because the iTunes Store has been misbehaving on my computer. I average three streaming movies a week and three or four on DVD. I'm not an average consumer, because a lot of my viewing is for work. But often of an evening I'll stream for pleasure. All of my streaming happens through a Roku Player on HDTV.
Does anyone recall the time when HBO was first test-marketing Movies on Demand? There was much hilarity when it was learned that their Florida test market wasn't exactly a model of digital automation. Apparently actual employees were taking...

With three selected films in the Main Comp (Yousry Nasrallah’s After the Battle, Abbas Kiarostami’s Like Someone in Love, Walter Salles’ On the Road) and one in the Un Certain Regard section (Xavier Dolan’s Laurence Anyways) you could say that French sales/production/distribution company MK2 are spoiled this year. Where buyers might want to focus their attention is the film that wasn’t yet ready and is posed for a Venice showing in Olivier Assayas’ Something in the Air (see pic above).

Price: DVD $29.95, Blu-ray $34.95
Studio: Kino Lorber
The 2011 documentary film The Look focuses its eye on the brains and beauty of French actress Charlotte Rampling (Never Let Me Go).
Director Angelina Maccarone’s method finds Rampling engaging in candid conversations with many of her closest friends, including author Paul Auster and photographer Juergen Teller. Very much at ease with these old acquaintances, Rampling reveals her views on aging, beauty, desire and death with disarming frankness. Often these conversations veer into the questions raised by her films, like the taboo sexuality of The Night Porter (1974) and Max mon Amour (1986), or the tough moral choices of Sidney Lumet’s The Verdict (1982).
Featuring a number of clips from Rampling’s films (including Woody Allen’s Stardust Memories and Francois Ozon’s Swimming Pool), The Look played a limited run in a couple of U.S. theaters in November, 2011.
The Look is presented in English,...

"Bigger and here to stay, Doc NYC returns for its second year to spread the gospel of nonfiction, showcasing 52 features in what's becoming the city's mainstream fall complement to Moma's more international and experimental Documentary Fortnight," writes Nicolas Rapold in the Voice. "Boldface names Werner Herzog, Barbara Kopple, and Jonathan Demme come bearing new work; anticipated favorites such as The Island President and an Eames doc will be rolled out; a memorial tribute to the late Richard Leacock burnishes another vérité legend; and a host of often issue-oriented other films await presumably sympathetic perusal."
The festival opens this evening with Into the Abyss, "Herzog's best documentary in many years," at least for Amy Taubin, writing for Artforum. "Herzog's subject is state-mandated execution, which he addresses via a case of triple homicide that took place in Conroe, Texas…. The movie is all the more haunting for being so straightforward in its narrative organization,...

Actors spend their lives being defined by other people: the characters they play, the directors who shape their performances, the photographers who light them, the journalists who analyze them, and the fans who love them. Angelina Maccarone’s documentary Charlotte Rampling: The Look gives the acclaimed British actress an opportunity to turn the tables. Maccarone provides the frame, but Rampling fills it, talking about her life and art, and giving her opinions about aging, beauty, sexuality, passion, and pretense. Rampling knows she was fortunate to be born photogenic—with heavy eyelids that give her a look of perpetual world-weariness—but ...

This final wrap comes with a reminder that all our reviews, interviews and coverage of the coverage is indexed right here.
"Throughout her nearly half-century career, actress Charlotte Rampling has rarely shied away from exposing herself onscreen," writes Jordan Mintzer in the Hollywood Reporter. "In the new bio documentary The Look, she bares it all yet again, but this time in a series of compelling discussions with different artists, writers, photographers and filmmakers." Karina Longworth for the Voice: "Director Angelina Maccarone intersperses well-chosen clips from Rampling's greatest acting hits, which hammer home the larger themes, and also offer a much-needed reminder that Max, Mon Amour exists. It's breezy and entertaining, but only occasionally more than superficially insightful. Ideal catch-it-on-cable-on-a-hungover-Saturday viewing."
More from Mark Adams (Screen) and Boyd van Hoeij (Variety). Catherine Shoard interviews Rampling for the Guardian. Clips: 1 and 2. Until The Look hits cable, we have the Charlotte Rampling gallery at everyday_i_show.

Charlotte Rampling has confirmed that she had complete control over Angelina Maccarone's documentary about her. The actress told The Guardian that she insisted on having final cut on The Look, which screened this week at Cannes. Rampling said: "It was simply a condition of my involvement. If this film is about me then I have to accept it, and if I can't accept it, I have to know it can be destroyed. I'd rather it didn't exist if it wasn't something I couldn't recognise as being in some way close to who I am." Asked about how the film would be received in the UK, she added: "Possibly England might not like it. Although it's (more)...

Her chilly sensuality has hooked directors from Woody Allen to Lars von Trier. Charlotte Rampling talks to Catherine Shoard about her no-go areas, Hollywood 'crap' – and why we might not like her new documentary
If you were to create an installation that captured the essence of Charlotte Rampling, it would almost certainly involve a stuffed lion and a king-sized bed. And you'd probably place them not in a room, but by a bar, on a beach, at the French Riviera. In this way you'd convey the imperious gloss, the fearsome sensuality, the hint of the ridiculous in Rampling's eat-you-for-breakfast pose.
As luck would have it, this is exactly the scene when we sit down to talk in Cannes. There is a stuffed lion, there is a king-sized bed. Impervious to the taxidermical horror behind her, Rampling perches on a pouffe and fixes me with her laser gaze. The lion peeps over her shoulder; by comparison,...

2008 will always be known as an historic year — for the passing of gay marriage laws in two states (and the tragic reduction of those rights in four), for the election of the nation’s first president of color, and for the downturn of the economy.
Years from now, when we talk about 2008, it’s likely that we’ll be discussing these events, rather than any specific lesbian film that came out.
But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a banner year for lesbian cinema.
While there were still extremely few mainstream movies with notable lesbian/bi characters, the overall quality of representation was decidedly — and dramatically — on the rise.
2008 saw an encouraging dearth of murderous, victimized or man-hating lesbian characters in any level of production (from smaller indie flicks to big-budget movies).
Women of color were better represented than in many years past, gross stereotypes were avoided, and new talents emerged.
