A24’s “A Different Man” won best feature at the 2024 Gotham Awards Monday night at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.
Meanwhile, “Sing Sing” swept the acting categories, with Colman Domingo winning for best lead performance and Clarence Maclin for best supporting performance.
Each category for nominations is decided by a different jury of critics, journalists and other industry professionals, and screening links must be provided to all its jury members. An entirely different group determines the winners. That’s in contrast with the Oscars or the BAFTAs, which are determined by actors, filmmakers and other artists who are in the entertainment industry.
In addition to the nominees, the Gothams bestowed special tributes to some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, including Oscar winner Angelina Jolie (Performer Tribute) for “Maria,” Emmy winner Zendaya (Spotlight Tribute) for “Challengers,” Timothée Chalamet and James Mangold (Visionary Tribute) for “A Complete Unknown,” and the...

Updated to clarify that Little, Big, and Far is a hybrid fiction-nonfiction film. Exclusive: Grasshopper Film has acquired North American distribution rights to Little, Big, and Far ahead of its world premiere at the New York Film Festival.
The hybrid fiction-nonfiction film from award-winning director Jem Cohen will bow on Saturday evening as the Centerpiece selection of NYFF’s Currents section.
“Jem Cohen brings the same meditative elegance and intellectual curiosity he did to Museum Hours (2012) with his stargazing new feature, again using the cinematic form to patiently interrogate ways of seeing and being,” the festival writes in its program. “The principal subject of Cohen’s film is an Austrian astronomer named Karl who has been re-evaluating his work and life after turning 70, and who travels to a mountaintop on a Greek island in search of the darkest sky against which to view the cosmos. Yet the real matter of the singular Little,...

Oksana Karpovych’s haunting documentary Intercepted shares grim yet brutally honest glimpses into the human experiences unfolding during conflict. The Ukrainian filmmaker presents a compelling patchwork of landscapes and voices from the ongoing invasion, piecing together a sobering portrait of war through its audiovisual contrasts.
Karpovych draws from cellular intercepts between Russian soldiers and their loved ones, recorded from March through November 2022 by Ukrainian authorities. Against the backdrop of the director’s native country, we hear this cross-section of perspectives as their owners grapple with the horrors of combat and the distance from home. While some cling to propaganda, others question what they’ve been told. Fear and disillusionment mingle with acts of staggering cruelty.
Complementing these testimonies are scenes of places bearing the war’s imprint. Destroyed dwellings sit amid rubble and debris, an eerie stillness pervading the damage. Yet resilience also shows itself as the locals persevere amid the ruins.

Ukrainian filmmakers and producers, including Mstyslav Chernov, the Oscar-winning director of 20 Days In Mariupol, are attending Cannes in significant numbers despite the ongoing war in Ukraine following the Russian invasion.
Against heavy odds, fictional films are being made in Ukraine.

Despite the war, the company is still trying to make “entertaining content” that will attract international buyers.

The experience of life in Ukraine since the Russian invasion and the attitude of the Russian aggressors is brought sharply home by Oksana Karpovych’s stark documentary Intercepted. The locked off camera gazes at scene after scene - mainly domestic and showing evidence of lives left behind and Russian attack - as we hear phone calls made by Russian soldiers to their loved ones back home, intercepted by the Ukrainian authorities. The conversations are, for the most part, chillingly revealing of the soldiers’ opinions and prejudices, as well as their often horrific tactics. The film also captures the everyday resistance of Ukrainians in the face of the onslaught.
Oksana Karpovych: 'I made this film because I was feeling deeply that it's not just Putin’s war' Intercepted has played a succession of festivals since its premiere at the Berlinale in February, including New Directors/New Films, Hot Docs and Thessaloniki International.
