This year’s New York Film Festival has just unveiled a slew of Special Events to round out its already full-to-bursting lineup, and it includes some late-breaking entries to previously announced sections and a selection of brand new events that are very special indeed. Highlights include a trio of documentary premieres, including Susan Lacy’s “Spielberg” (focused on the eponymous director, with both Lacy and her subject set to appear at the festival), along with Jennifer Lebeau’s Bob Dylan concert film “Trouble No More,” and Susan Froemke’s “The Opera House,” a history of the Metropolitan Opera and a love letter to the art form that will (appropriately enough) screen at the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center.
Other standouts include four brand-new films from Claude Lanzmann, a sparkling new restoration of G.W. Pabst’s “Pandora’s Box.” Elsewhere, Kate Winslet will be on hand for a career-spanning chat...

Raymond Depardon’s documentary follows a judge who must decide whether psychiatric hospital patients can be allowed back into society
A young woman stares across a table at the judge who is reviewing her case. Her gaze is both searingly intense and curiously blank. Holding herself preternaturally still, muscles tensed against the turmoil of emotions, she pleads to see the two-year-old daughter who has been removed from her care. “Not all the time, I accept that. But just to change her diaper, to love her.” If there’s a more achingly sad moment in any film of the 2017 Cannes film festival, it’s hard to imagine what it could be. For 12 Jours, veteran documentarian Raymond Depardon (Modern Life, Journal de France) turns his lens on to the desperate, broken souls of the patients who have been involuntarily committed into the care of a Lyon psychiatric institution.

Pattinson turns in a strong performance as a career crim in the Safdie brothers’ exciting, if sometimes bewildering take on Elmore Leonard-style crime dramas

Law And Order is a favourite TV show for a lot of people in this film. But what can those two exotic concepts mean to them? The Safdie brothers have directed a sometimes funny, sometimes bewildering odyssey of crime-chaos and crime-incompetence, co-written by Josh Safdie and Ronald Bronstein; they borrow some tropes and images from Elmore Leonard.

Another day in May, more cheers and jeers for the competition films. Only five competition films are yet to screen: Fatih Akin's In the Fade (starring Diane Kruger), Good Time from the Safdie brothers, Sergei Loznita's A Gentle Creature, François Ozon's L'Amant Double (with two of his favorites Marine Vacth and Jérémie Renier), and Lynne Ramsay's You Were Never Really Here (starring Joaquin Phoenix).
Previously: Day 1, Days 2-4, and Days 5-6
And Don't Miss: Nicole in Cannes Pt 1 and Pt 2
So it looks like the frontrunners for the Palme d'Or, barring any of those five landing in a major way, are France's 120 Battements Par Minute, Sweden's The Square, or Russia's Loveless. But with Cannes and the mysteries of the group dynamics of juries, you never really know until the awards are announced. Pundits always forget that. People who assume that the Palme is a given for ___ are wrong nearly every year.

One year ago in Cannes, the festival’s first Friday night brought the first press screening of Maren Ade’s “Toni Erdmann,” a long, scathing, brilliantly funny film with some jaw-dropping set pieces. This year, Ade is on the jury, and Friday night brought a pretty good substitute: Swedish director Ruben Ostlund’s “The Square,” which happens to be a long, scathing, brilliantly funny film with a jaw-dropping set piece. “The Square” doesn’t sustain its level of invention and bite for its full two hours and 22 minutes, which ties it with “A Gentle Creature” as the longest film in this year’s main competition.

For such a highly anticipated event, the Cannes Film Festival tends to contain a fairly predictable lineup: The Official Selection focuses on established auteurs whose work lands a coveted slot at the flashy gathering on autopilot. That was certainly the case last year, when the 2016 edition opened with a Woody Allen movie and featured new work from the likes of Pedro Almodovar, Nicolas Winding Refn, the Dardennes brothers and Olivier Assayas.
But we live in unpredictable times, and judging by today’s announcement of the Official Selection for Cannes 2017, even the world’s most powerful festival isn’t impervious to change. This year’s Cannes is filled with surprises: television and virtual reality, some intriguing non-fiction selections, and a whole lot of unknown quantities that push the festival in fresh directions.

Ukrainian director Sergei Loznitsa, at International Film Festival Rotterdam (Iffr), has revealed details of his new projects.
Loznitsa is at work on Austerlitz, a new feature doc looking at museums in former concentration camps. The film is partly inspired by the Wg Sebald book of the same name. Loznitsa has been shooting in several former camps.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian director’s new dramatic feature, to shoot in Latvia, is A Gentle Creature. Dostoevsky-Inspired, this is the story of a woman desperately trying to discover news of her imprisoned husband.
It has previously been reported that Arte, Slot Machine, Looks Film & TV are all aboard the project. To make the film, Loznitsa has filmed in Dachau, Bergen-Belsen, Ravensbrück, Sachsenhausen, and Mittelbau-Dora
Loznitsa also has another Second World War-themed feature in development, following on from his 2012 feature In The Fog, which screened in competition at Cannes.

Le-Van Kiet's Gentle starts with an unexpectedly drastic scene, as if trying to wash away the tranquility so pleasantly accentuated by the film's opening credits and its intriguing title, inspired by Fyodor Dostoyevsky's 1876 short story 'A Gentle Creature'.From the viewpoint of someone who has never read the aforementioned piece it seems all the more fascinating to observe how the profound, often distressing story of emotional disconnect in a marriage without any real future prospects unravels on the big screen.Dostoyevsky's short has been adapted into feature films a few times before (most notably by Robert Bresson in 1969, under the French title Une femme douce), and it's actually not the first time that a director from a country that's still undergoing massive changes, both cultural...

Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s short story “A Gentle Creature” is transplanted from 19th century Russia to contemporary Vietnam highlighting the story’s enduring universality and providing writer-director Le Van Kiet with a solid foundation for a melancholy story about the inevitable collapse of a marriage that was doomed from the start. Staying faithful to the source material with only minor changes in the main character’s background, Gentle is a resonant and elegant examination of the distances between people and the sometimes tragic consequences of not bridging them. Le met with astounding success in Vietnam with his take on horror (House in the

Award winning Sri Lankan director Prasanna Vithanage’s With You, Without You is releasing in Indian theatres on June 20. Set in post-war Sri Lanka, the film revolves around two characters who meet accidentally amid the unbridgeable chasm of conflict. The film explores whether love will help them cross the bridge or will their past continue to color their present.
Featuring Indian actor Anjali Patil, the film won her the award for Best Actress at the International Film Festival of India 2012. With You, Without You has screened at several international film festivals including BFI London, Chicago, Hong Kong and Kerala.
Vithanage, who was a pioneer of the Sri Lankan New Wave cinema of the 90s, talks about the Indian connections of his latest film and what a theatrical release in India means to him.

“We are still coming to terms with Robert Bresson, and the peculiar power and beauty of his films,” Martin Scorsese said in the 2010 book “A Passion For Film,” describing the often overlooked French filmmaker as “one of the cinema’s greatest artists.”
But while he may be revered by some as the finest French filmmaker bar Jean Renoir, outside hardcore cinephile circles he and his films are virtually unknown (perhaps regarded as too opaque or nebulous). Just consider the fact that almost every definitive book on the elusive director was published during the aughts to feel the full truth of Scorsese's statement about how we're still in the process of appreciating and understanding his life and work. Even Bresson’s actual birthdate is contested, adding further the ambiguities surrounding the director.
“Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen,” the meticulous Bresson once famously said, hinting at...

First the history, then the list:
In 1969, Jerome Hill, P. Adams Sitney, Peter Kubelka, Stan Brakhage, and Jonas Mekas decided to open the world’s first museum devoted to film. Of course, a typical museum hangs its collections of artwork on the wall for visitors to walk up to and study. However, a film museum needs special considerations on how — and what, of course — to present its collection to the public.
Thus, for this film museum, first a film selection committee was formed that included James Broughton, Ken Kelman, Peter Kubelka, Jonas Mekas and P. Adams Sitney, plus, for a time, Stan Brakhage. This committee met over the course of several months to decide exactly what films would be collected and how they would be shown. The final selection of films would come to be called the The Essential Cinema Repertory.
The Essential Cinema Collection that the committee came up with consisted of about 330 films.
