When the lights came up after a screening on the Walt Disney lot of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," Steven Spielberg was incredulous.Damn!" he said."I thought I was the only one who knew how to make one of these!Dial of Destiny, which premiered Thursday at the Cannes Film Festival, is the first Indiana Jones film without Spielberg behind the camera.

Apple's "Shot on iPhone" Lunar New Year short films always get to me.I've said before that I know that these short films are iPhone ads, but that doesn't change the fact that they are effective at communicating the importance of the intersection of technology and liberal arts, as the late Steve Jobs was fond of bringing up.

Steven Spielberg said he truly regrets the decimation of the shark population following the success of his 1975 film Jaws.Joining Lauren Laverne on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs he discussed his successful directing career, including his latest project  semi-autobiographical film The Fabelmans.Spielberg, 75, is known for Hollywood blockbusters including ET, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park and Jaws.

"I've been hiding from this story since I was 17 years old," Steven Spielberg told the audience as he accepted the directing prize for The Fabelmans at this year's Golden Globes ceremony.Hiding in plain sight, let's note, since he's been making movies pretty much non-stop in the ensuing years, including such era- and genre-defining smashes as Jaws, Jurassic Park, the Indiana Jones films, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan and Lincoln.

In February, when the Berlin International Film Festival takes place, the German capital is reliably what meteorologists term bloody cold.The overriding fashion aesthetic is puffer jackets, the puffier the better, accessorized with a scarf and a scowl.That might be one reason that, contrary to other major European festivals in Venice or Cannes, the Berlinale, as it's also known, has never acquired much of a reputation for glamour: One can't expect too many stars to hazard shoulder-frostbite in red-carpet gowns, especially as Oscar night looms in a couple of weeks.

Berlin already is a film city.Countless productions are being written, prepared, funded, shot, edited, post-produced, screened, awarded and reviewed in the German capital.Now, the situation for the film biz in Berlin is supposed to improve.Governing Mayor Franziska Giffey is on the case.Berlin, November 23rd, 2022 (The Berlin Spectator) - When you go to the cinema, you usually don't do so on a Wednesday morning at 9:00 a.m., unless Governing Mayor Franziska Giffey invites film biz representatives and journalists to the Delphi, in order to announce a new policy.
