Clara was a visionary businesswoman and pioneer of early British cinema. I wish she could have known that her legacy would be The Rio, still programming for everyone in the borough.

The Silverlode Express Lift, built in 1996, is known for having long lines, servicing many popular runs and being the closest lift to the Quicksilver Gondola. The new proposal aims to upgrade it from a six-chair to an express eight-chair lift, increasing uphill capacity from 3,000 to 3,600 skiers per hour.

The Festival opens on Saturday, May 9, 2026, with Hermán Olivera y Orquesta Taíno to kick off its 26th season, featuring over 100 free performances from May to November.

The second season appears to go in a The White Lotus-esque direction with Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan as a couple whose fight is witnessed by two country-club employees.

"The films at this year's Festival represent a wide array of voices, regions, storytelling, and style. In our increasingly divided world, film is a medium that can close some of those gaps, and help us understand the universality of humanity."

Under her leadership, Jackson said, 'The most important thing is to make sure that Film Forum continues its mission.' This reflects her commitment to the organization and its role in independent cinema.

South by Southwest is not the only annual genre fest out there by any means, but its equal focus on film, music, and tech makes it nearly unmissable for many a genre fan. The Austin-set fest has almost too much to offer, however you slice it: Building one's schedule feels like a perpetual exercise in killing your darlings.

The Sundance Film Festival, a cornerstone of independent cinema, is poised for a significant relocation, sparking a wave of nostalgia and apprehension among its devoted attendees. As this year's event concluded, a pervasive question echoed through Park City, Utah: "Will you go to the festival when it moves to Boulder?" For many long-time festivalgoers, the answer is a resounding no. Butch Ward, a Sundance regular since the early 1990s, embodies this sentiment, declaring that he will not follow the festival to its new Colorado home

Each year, most films leave the festival without a distributor in place, and we've only seen a handful of sales so far despite Netflix, Neon, Searchlight, Focus, A24, and more all on the ground. Plus, newcomer distribution groups like Row K and Warners' independent label also landed in Utah to make an impression. Alas, many movies still need a home, and below, IndieWire rounds up the ones we think distributors will click with - some more intrepid than others, but all worthy of a hopefully big-screen landing place.

In a small Australian town, two queer kids-Naim (Joe Bird) and Ryan (Stacy Clausen)-share furtive glances and intense kisses in an abandoned mill. Oftentimes, violence, like the rough play fighting they often engage in, incites their sexual passions, which they must conceal in their fiercely religious town. Their adolescent passion turns deadly, however, when Naim discovers Ryan cheating on him with the preacher's son; so naturally the jilted teenager spitefully reports his lover's tryst.
