When a movie ends, Jim Jarmusch almost always gets sick. Which illness varies it could be a cold, the flu, or worse. The phenomenon has taken place for years. In his filmography, the director tends to post more questions than answers. In contrast, when it comes to his health, he has arrived at a clear conclusion: It's fucking hard to make a movie. And that's equally true if it's good or bad. It requires a lot of resistance and concentration.
Before he was a filmmaker, David Lynch was a painter and, if you're familiar with his esoteric filmmaking practice - peppered as it is with some of cinema's most indelible imagery - it all makes a lot of sense. A year after the auteur's passing, a newly opened show at Pace Gallery's Berlin space, Die Tankestelle, foregrounds Lynch's career-spanning fine art practice and its inextricable link to his cinematic oeuvre.
I do have tremendous amounts of peace and acceptance around what happened because of how we were able to make it for her. Winslet's eldest son, Joe, was then 13. For him as a child, seeing that love poured into this moment was huge. And then he discovered through conversations with friends that that's so rarely the case. Six years later, in 2023, Joe decided to turn the experience into a screenplay.
Born in Beijing, in 1982, she wound up at New York University's film school, where she studied under Spike Lee. Starting in 2015, she directed three small-scale, slow-burn features set in the American heartland: "Songs My Brothers Taught Me," "The Rider," and "Nomadland." All three capture the expansive beauty of the West-in particular South Dakota, with its moonlike badlands and wide, grassy plains-while using local nonprofessional actors to achieve documentary-like naturalism.
Though I haven't loved all their films, Norwegian director Joachim Trier and his writing collaborator Eskil Vogt remains among the hopes of the medium-an accomplished team whose work is intelligent, involving, thematically ambitious but very human in scale. Their latest Sentimental Value won the Grand Prix at Cannes, and it again largely revolves around Renate Reinsve, the star of their last effort The Worst Person in the World.
At December's event, you can expect talks from Charlotte Mei, a London-based contemporary artist, painter and illustrator who has worked with Sony Music, Hermés, Panasonic and the New York Times, as well as having her work exhibited in London, Hong Kong, Berlin and New York.

The right way to describe the project and our reasons behind it will reveal itself through process. Let's slow down. Let's open the windows. In the afternoon, the air from the windows is so soft and gentle. The crows are back, talking to the dog again, and the other birds are singing in the trees. They are all a part of this. The best way to write this would be
"We made this in an academic space," Magbanua says. "To have it be screened and experienced in a space surrounded by professionals and people who are established, seasoned and esteemed, it's really surreal, because we were just making this in a classroom a couple months ago."
In "Nouvelle Vague," a new film from the director Richard Linklater, an impassioned young movie critic expresses his belief in what cinema could be-and frets about what he himself may never be. It's 1959, and the critic is Jean-Luc Godard, a soon-to-be leader of the French New Wave, a nascent movement of journalists who are trading in their typewriters for film cameras, aiming to ignite a cinematic revolution. But Godard, unlike some of his comrades, has yet to direct his first picture.
In a sad case of tragic irony, a 34-year-old filmmaker struck and killed by a driver who blew a red light in Brooklyn last Sunday was the son of a famous Dominican documentarian - who was also killed in a car accident seven years ago.
Tim Blake Nelson is a celebrated actor, writer, and director. His nearly 100 screen credits include The Thin Red Line, Lincoln, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Watchmen, and O Brother, Where Art Thou? For his latest, the independent film Bang Bang, he plays an aging boxer whose glory days are long past. On this episode, he details how his process has changed by comparing the patience he has now to his approach for O Brother, Where Art Thou? where "fear inspired hubris" fueled him.
"I've always really loved storytelling. When I discovered I was queer at a very young age, the YouTube film community was a huge kind of anchor for me, which inspired me to go more into film. But I also think just generally, I've always had a love of movies."
I was born in a small town in the Mekong Delta in 1986. My parents left Vietnam through the Humanitarian Operation program, which helped former re-education camp detainees immigrate to the US.
Jurassic World Rebirth reimagines the dinosaur-inhabited world on Ile Saint-Hubert, combining real-world locations in Thailand with sets in Malta, New York City, and London. The story follows operatives, including Zora Bennett and Dr. Henry Loomis, infiltrating the island to acquire DNA samples from dinosaurs while encountering a shipwrecked family. The island features a deserted InGen research facility that bred dinosaur hybrids, striving to feel advanced yet reminiscent of the original film.
"The secret to his success? Instead of begging for development deals, he decided to chase something more practical: money. I found it way easier to find people with money than it is to get a company to say 'Yes,' Grashaw said."
