The TV shows Succession, Andor and The Underground Railroad. The movies Moonlight, Don’t Look Up and The Big Short. And the list goes on. Few composers, if any, have made a bigger mark on 21st century screen entertainment than Nicholas Britell. In recognition of his prodigious achievements, the 44-year-old Emmy winner and Oscar and Grammy nominee will be honored by the Virginia Film Festival with its Achievement in Film Composition Award on Friday, Oct. 24, immediately following a screening of the latest film that he scored, Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly, and a live recording of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter…

The movie’s story is also an…

Joachim Lafosse’s San Sebastian-bound feature Six Days in Spring is admittedly a deeply personal project. French actress Eye Haïdara (The Nannies, C’est la vie!) leads the Belgian director’s new film. She stars as Sana, a mother struggling to provide her 10-year-old twins (Teodor and Leonis Pinero Müller in their film debuts) with a spring vacation. When their plans collapse, she secretly takes them to a luxury villa on the French Riviera owned by her former in-laws. Over six days, joy and anxiety collide as the family hides in plain sight in what can be described as a biographical piece of filmmaking…

“What I am trying to show is that, despite the changes of the times, the essential value of ‘going to the cinema’ never changes,” says director Lee Jong-pil.

Shu Qi has spent her career embodying other people’s stories — enigmatic drifters for Hou Hsiao-hsien, comic foils in international action franchises, or, more recently, the tragic heroine of Bi Gan’s Cannes award winner Resurrection. With Girl, Taiwan’s most acclaimed screen star, now 49, turns the camera on herself, mining her childhood in 1980s Taipei for a bracingly personal directorial debut. The result is not nostalgia but something darker: a stark coming-of-age tale about inherited sorrow, cycles of violence, and the fleeting possibility of friendship and escape. It is, as Shu says, “a story that opens up a conversation about…

The organizers of the Canadian Screen Awards, the country’s Oscars and Emmys, are to end nomination eligibility for foreign talent, including American actors, starting with the 2026 edition. “In order to best celebrate and honor Canadians working on Canadian productions, individuals must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada to be eligible for a Canadian Screen Award,” the Academy said as tightened eligibility and voting rule changes unveiled Wednesday come amid rising U.S.-Canada diplomatic and trade tensions. Making CSAs eligibility exclusively available to homegrown talent or those with residency follows a rise in Canadian nationalism countrywide after U.S.…

One of our very best actors, Brian Cox, makes a somewhat belated directorial debut with the Toronto world premiere Glenrothan, in which he also stars. Set in his native Scotland and lovingly photographed, the film tantalizes even without a terribly original story. Family conflicts ripple and get fairly predictably resolved. But the cast gallops right past the clichés. To tell the story of two estranged brothers, Cox turned to another Scottish-born actor, Alan Cumming, who gives the most surprising and resonant performance in the movie. The brothers have not communicated for many years. Cox’s Sandy runs a family distillery in…

The controversial and zig-zagging journey for the Oct. 7 rescue movie The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue had another twist on Sunday when it picked up the People’s Choice award for best documentary at the Toronto Film Festival. Director Barry Avrich’s documentary is about a retired Tel Aviv general driving through great danger to save his son’s family at a kibbutz near Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023. “To win this award is thrilling for Mark and I. The audience voted and I appreciate that. And we look forward to the rest of this journey,” Avrich said while accepting the doc…
