Industry’s Harper Stern may have reached a new low at the start of Season 3, but in Sunday’s episode, a budding relationship with portfolio manager Petra and an incredibly bold strategic move caused the pendulum to swing in her favor.

“Harper is very lucky,” her portrayer Myha’la tells TVLine. “Anna Gearing hires her as a desk assistant at FutureDawn, which is the paycheck that will keep her in London. So of course she’s grateful for that, but she’s also wildly depressed because her mind is not being exercised. And she’s not very good at her job either.

The Cannes Film Festival has named the eight members of its main Competition jury who will join previously announced president Greta Gerwig in deciding the Palme d’Or and other key prizes at 77th edition running from May 14 to 25.

They are Turkish screenwriter and photographer Ebru Ceylan, U.S. actress Lily Gladstone, French actress Eva Green, Lebanese director and screenwriter Nadine Labaki, Spanish director and screenwriter J.A. Bayona, Italian actor Pierfrancisco Favino, Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda and French actor and producer Omar Sy.

The wife and long-time collaborator of Nuri Bilge Ceylan, screenwriter and photographer Ceylan co-wrote 2014 Palme d’Or winner Winter Sleep and also took co-writing credits on Cannes selected films Three Monkeys (Best Director Prize 2008), Once upon a time in Anatolia (Grand Prix 2011), The Wild Pear Tree (2018) and About Dry Grasses (2023).

Ceylan also appeared as an actress and took art director credits on her husband’s early films...

The series will be led by ABC News’ chief meteorologist and climate correspondent, Ginger Zee, along with the ABC News weather and climate unit. Power of Us...

Nuri Bilge Ceylan likes to take his time. The Turkish director is one of the greatest living practitioners of slow cinema. The filmmaking ethos — pioneered by Russian auteur Andrei Tarkovsky and taken up by the likes of Theo Angelopoulos, Albert Serra, Béla Tarr, Kelly Reichardt and Lav Diaz — eschews the rapid editing and relentless nonstop forward-driving plots of the Hollywood blockbuster (looking at you, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny) for a more contemplative, metaphysical approach.

The characters in a Ceylan movie don’t do much. There’s little action or traditional suspense, and the storylines are fairly basic. In 2002’s Distant, a rural factory worker visits his cousin in Istanbul. Homicide police unearth the body of a murder victim and take a long drive back to the city for the autopsy in 2011’s Once Upon a Time in Anatolia. An old actor, his wife and his sister sit...

The film is Picturehouse Entertainment’s second acquisition at the Cannes Film Festival.

Picturehouse Entertainment has acquired UK and Ireland rights to Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s Cannes Competition title About Dry Grasses from France’s Playtime.

Ceylan’s seventh Competition film follows a teacher doing a mandatory stint at a small village in Eastern Anatolia. He loses hope of escaping the grim life he seems to be stuck in, but an encounter with another teacher could help him overcome his angst.

Co-­producers include France’s Arte France Cinéma and Sweden’s Film i Väst — both served as co-­producers...

A lengthy shoot, a lengthy post-production process and a lengthy runtime mean it’s business as usual for our favorite Turkish auteur. A mainstay on the Croisette, Nuri Bilge Ceylan has been very fortunate in the South of France landing several prizes over the years. After his first pair of films premiered at the Berlinale, he has been here with Uzak (Distant) which was awarded the Grand Prix and Best Actor prize in 2003, 2006’s Climates, 2008’s Three Monkeys, Once Upon A Time in Anatolia (2011), Palme d’Or winner Winter Sleep and finally The Wild Pear Tree in 2018.…...

Rarely one finds a friend on the Criterion Channel—discounting the parasitic relationship we form with filmmakers, I mean—but it’s great seeing their March lineup give light to Sophy Romvari, the <bias>exceptionally talented</bias> filmmaker and curator whose work has perhaps earned comparisons to Agnès Varda and Chantal Akerman but charts its own path of history and reflection. It’s a good way to lead into an exceptionally strong month, featuring as it does numerous films by Pier Paolo Pasolini, the great Japanese documentarian Kazuo Hara, newfound cult classic Arrebato, and a number of Criterion editions.

On the last front we have The Age of Innocence, Bull Durham, A Raisin in the Sun, The Celebration, Merrily We Go to Hell, and Design for Living. There’s always something lingering on the watchlist, but it might have to wait a second longer—March is an opened floodgate.

February 2022 is a big month for Prime Video. We’re talking “hands the size of dinner plates” big.

Highlighting Amazon Prime Video’s list of new releases for February 2022 is Reacher, the saga of one very large boy. Reacher premieres on Feb. 4 and is based on the Jack Reacher book series by Lee Child. The titular hero (played by Alan Ritchson) is a former major in the U.S. Army Military Police Corps who now travels the country looking for trouble to get into. His hands are very large.

YouTube Global Head of Original Content Susanne Daniels has resigned after over six years, during which she built the original content division of the company. YouTube Originals is coming off Q4 2021 as its most-watched quarter ever with 1.3 billion views.

Daniels, a respected veteran TV executive, joined YouTube Originals in 2015 when the video-sharing giant had announced the launch of a premium subscription tier with high-end original scripted programming. She developed and launched such series as Cobra Kai, which set YouTube viewership records before moving to Netflix and earning Emmy nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series, Step-Up (now on Starz), On Becoming A God In Central Florida (moved to Showtime) Wayne (available on Prime Video) and Impulse from Doug Liman.

In 2018, the Google-owned streamer pivoted away from scripted and SVOD to focus to their core unscripted content under the existing AVOD model. Daniels, who had started her career in unscripted at NBC decades ago,...

Blue Fox Entertainment has acquired U.S. rights to Studiocanal’s adventure family film “The Wolf and the Lion” from French director Gilles de Maistre (“Mia and the White Lion”).

Released from 2018 in over 50 countries around the world, “Mia and the White Lion” earned north of $40 million at the worldwide box office, an outstanding figure for an independent film.

“The Wolf and the Lion,” starring Molly Kunz (“Colony”), Graham Greene and Charlie Carrick (“Reign”), will be released by Blue Fox in U.S. theaters in early 2022 on over 300 screens. The movie, which recently won best children’s film at the Zurich Intl. Film Festival, was co-penned by Prune de Maistre, whose screenwriting credits include “Mia and the Lion.”

The film kicks off when 20-year-old Alma (Kunz) rescues two helpless cubs, a wolf and a lion, which forge an inseparable bond. Taken away by the forest ranger, the cub brothers embark...

This article contains light spoilers for The Many Saints of Newark.

Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta have a Goodfellas reunion, of sorts, in The Sopranos prequel, The Many Saints of Newark. No, the former Tommy DeVito isn’t in the credits, and he doesn’t bring his shine box. He is slipped in like contraband at a federal penitentiary.

Both David Chase, the creator of The Sopranos and co-writer of The Many Saints of Newark, and Alan Taylor, the film’s director, revel in film references. The esteemed filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock is renowned for making small appearances in his own films. For the film Lifeboat, which had a very limited cast and set, he makes his cameo on the page of a newspaper. Pesci shows up on classic vinyl.

The Many Saints of Newark focuses on Dickie Moltisanti (Alessandro Nivola), father of Christopher (Michael Imperioli) in the series. Liotta plays his uncle,...

Production designer Laura Fox, who transformed the Four Seasons Maui into an uneasy pineapple-bedecked paradise for HBO’s “The White Lotus,” faced some similar challenges when creating the world of Tammy Faye Bakker for “The Eyes of Tammy Faye.”

Neither director Michael Showalter, nor producer-actress Jessica Chastain, who plays the title character, wanted to make fun of the flamboyant televangelist, yet parts of her life were undeniably over-the-top, such as her creepy doll collection. Fox says “research, research, research” was the key, although very few detailed descriptions of her surroundings existed, which allowed her to have creative license in building key sets such as the Bakker house and their studio. “It was about weaving ideas together and how to make them rich knowing they really had no exposure to taste or a decorator,” she says.

Fox shared sketches and insight into how she built the world of Tammy Faye and...

In 2014, the year that he turned 84, Clint Eastwood had two movies in theaters — his 35th and 36th as a director.

The Jersey Boys film came out in June, earned about $47 million at the…...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched the Season 5 premiere of “The Good Fight,” streaming now on Paramount Plus.

The fourth season of “The Good Fight” was cut short because of the Covid-19 pandemic, running for only seven episodes last spring instead of its planned 10. Yet, it ended perfectly, with the final moments of the season lingering on a shot of Jeffrey Epstein’s undiscovered, disembodied brain and penis encased for time immemorial. Below the floating penis was a plaque that said “Bud.”

How could the finale have been better?

But what creators Michelle and Robert King didn’t get to resolve in the abbreviated season was tying up the arc about Memo 618, the mysteriously sinister cabal of corrupt Chicago judges that seemed to be run by people in the highest echelons of power in the United States — and which Diane (Christine Baranski) and Julius (Michael Boatman) were trying to expose.

The Steve Miller Band have unearthed a 1977 live album and concert film, out May 14th via Sailor/Capitol/UMe.

Steve Miller Band Live! Breaking Ground: August 3, 1977, was recorded at the Cap Center in Landover, Maryland. “[It] captures the band right at the peak after The Joker, and in the middle of Fly Like an Eagle and Book of Dreams, a stream of hits,” Miller said in a statement. “We decided to call it Breaking Ground because that’s exactly what we were doing.”

To a certain population of sitcom enjoyers, the worst thing that could possibly ever happen is set to happen on Dec. 31, 2020: NBC’s The Office will be leaving Netflix forever. Thankfully, this living nightmare will be pretty brief as The Office will come right back to the streaming world on Jan. 1, 2021.

Fresh NBC streaming service Peacock today confirmed all the details of The Office’s impending arrival to its streams. In the form of a very clever Dunder Mifflin memo from David Wallace to “All Employees,” Peacock made their big plans for the classic mockumentary known. And they are as follows.

All nine seasons and all 201 episodes of the series will be available on Peacock. The first two seasons (which amount to 28 episodes due to the first season’s short six-episode run) will be free and available to all. Seasons three through nine will be available with a Peacock...

In 2018, “Bohemian Rhapsody” blew past everyone’s expectations, becoming one of the top 10 highest grossing films of the year off the love that Queen fans have for the late Freddie Mercury. Now, “Rocketman” will try to have the same charm on Elton John fans, though it will be a tall order for it to knock “BoRhap” off the top of the music biopic charts.

10.) “All Eyez On Me” (2017) $44.9 million: Critics were not impressed by Benny Boom’s biopic on the life and career of Tupac Shakur, but fans of the late rapper showed up en masse on its opening weekend to beat box office expectations and earn nearly $45 million at the box office.

9.) “Jersey Boys” (2014) $47 million: Clint Eastwood is more well known as a director for making grittier films like “The 15:17 to Paris” and “The Mule,” but he also contributed to musical history with a 2014 jukebox drama about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons,...

All streaming services go through a down period after the excitement of Spooky Season, it’s only natural. Thankfully with its list of new releases for November 2020, Hulu is making the best out of a barren pop culture landscape.

For starters, Hulu is premiering one of its major 2020 reboots this month as Animaniacs arrives on Nov. 20. Yakko, Wakko, Dot, and the rest of the Warner gang are set to return for this long-awaited revival of the animated classic. That’s about it as far as original series go but Hulu is also premiering original movies Greta, about climate activist Greta Thunberg on Nov. 13; and Run, a horror film starring Sarah Paulson, on Nov. 20.

Still, despite all the Animaniacs, Gretas, and Sarah Paulsons, the biggest hits this month might just be on the library content side of things. November 1 sees the arrival of some major TV properties. For starters, racy British...

Hulu is out with its list of everything new coming and everything leaving the streaming service in the month of October.

The atmosphere was palpable during Justin Bieber: Seasons’ virtual Paleyfest LA panel. Justin Bieber and his fellow panel members let raw emotions flow freely while reflecting on the docu-series filming process. Panel members, most of whom compose Justin Bieber’s inner circle of confidantes, spoke to Justin and Hailey’s bravery for letting themselves be vulnerable on camera. For the Biebers, the experience making the tell-all special was a grueling but cathartic ordeal.

Justin Bieber lives a life like no other. He grew up in the spotlight since his teenage years where his every minutiae landed front-page headlines. In spite of his fame and success, his existence is inseparable from the human condition. The 10-episode series documented Justin’s battle with Lyme disease, mental health issues and drug addiction. In Seasons he wanted to tell an intimate, authentic story of his trials and – in the process – help others deal...

Justin Bieber was supposed to be on tour this summer, but the coronavirus pandemic changed all that. Instead, the 26-year-old pop star was able to spend some quality time with his wife, Hailey Bieber. “Well, we didn’t make any babies, so that’s that,” the 23-year-old model quips during a virtual panel discussion for PaleyFest LA about their YouTube docuseries, “Seasons”.

PaleyFest, like everything else in this world, is taking its lineup online: The annual event will host a virtual panel series in August, featuring Outlander, Schitt’s Creek and Ozark, among others.

All of the virtual discussions will be made available to the public via the Paley Center’s YouTube channel on Monday, Aug. 10, while Citi card members and Paley Center members will get an early viewing window starting Friday, Aug. 7 (as well as exclusive access to the Schitt’s Creek panel).

As if 2019 had not already been bad enough, it was looking like it was going to be the first year since 1995 in which neither Hong Sang-soo nor Johnnie To released a feature film. Hong, after putting out five movies in the previous two years, was taking a well-deserved break: his The Woman Who Ran wouldn’t premiere until the Berlin Film Festival in the early months of 2020. To, on the other hand, hadn’t released anything since Three in the summer of 2016. In the meantime, there were rumors of failed attempts to get his long-gestating Election 3 off the ground, the hold-up being its probable incompatibility with Mainland Chinese censorship requirements. There was also talk of an ambitious omnibus film To was producing in collaboration with a Mount Rushmore of Hong Kong directing legends called Eight and a Half. It was finally announced as one of the films that were slated...

Celebrated Turkish auteur Nuri Bilge Ceylan, winner of the Cannes Palme d’Or in 2014 for “Winter Sleep” among many other accolades, is known to be rather reclusive. But he had no hesitation in accepting to preside over the jury of the International Migration Film Festival’s first edition, thus contributing significantly to its launch. He took questions from Variety about what moved him to participate.

You have been on several film festival juries before, also as president, including Cannes, Venice, Sarajevo and Shanghai. But this festival is different for various reasons. First off it’s a thematic event. The theme being migration, of course. How important was this aspect in your decision to head this jury?

I can really say that the urgency of the issue and a feeling of guilt that derive from the fact that I do not or cannot do anything despite frequently encountering the tragic dimensions of the matter,...

Former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay is speaking directly to the “Bachelor” franchise about “acknowledging their systemic racism” in a heartfelt essay posted to her blog Monday.

The message, which was published to her website RachelLindsayOfficial.com under the blog section “Honestly Rach,” elaborates on statements Lindsay made last week during a virtual interview for “AfterBuzz” in which she vowed to quit the “Bachelor” franchise if real efforts to solve its diversity problems are not made soon.

“Black people know historically and presently that the show is not formatted for their success,” Lindsay wrote Monday, explaining that she had applied to be on her first season of “The Bachelor” on a whim and later accepted the role of “Bachelorette” — making her the first and only person of color to hold a lead role on the long-running franchise — in order to be a “trailblazer” who might steer the future of the show in a more diverse direction.

Justin Bieber is rolling from one digital service to another with his latest documentary series.

The popstar and his wife Hailey Bieber are to star in The Biebers on Watch for Facebook Watch. The 12-part series, which launches today, will follow the pair as they open up their home and marriage in a series of intimate conversations and activities with famous friends and family.

This comes after Justin Bieber: Seasons, which launched in January, became YouTube Originals most watched debut episode ever on the platform.

The Biebers on Watch will be filmed on go-pros positioned around their Toronto home, and features self-shot segments, where fans will get a glimpse into the day-to-day lives and relationship of the couple.

Three episodes of the show will be available weekly on Facebook Watch, including a Facebook Live episode.

In the first episode, the couple head out to the lake and get candid about...

Much like during his Purpose era, Justin Bieber is dropping dance visuals for some of his Changes tracks. “Habitual” and “All Around Me” are the first two songs to help roll out Changes: The Movement.

The video for “All Around Me” features a male and female dancer performing an intimately choreographed routine in a room with moving walls. The video ends with the pair holding each other close in between the two walls, which have closed in on them.

“Habitual” features a different pair of dancers, one male and one female.

Pop star Justin Bieber surprised a superfan, Lynsey Mickolas, 10 years after serenading her with the song "One less lonely girl" on stage.

It was back in 2010 that the two met during a concert.

The singer surprised Mickolas once more during a special moment in the finale on his YouTube docuseries "Seasons", reports dailymail.co.uk.

While Mickolas recalled her unforgettable Bieber moment, the singer prepped for another special performance.

Mickolas, now a forensic chemist living in Virginia, spoke about her August 31, 2010 night at Madison Square Garden.

Years after, it seemed unreal for the fan who told cameras: "To be honest, I don't remember everything from that night because everything just happened so quickly and it was so overwhelming."

Justin Bieber’s comeback single, "Yummy," may have failed to debut at No. 1 despite some rather questionable promotional tactics, but an accompanying YouTube docuseries titled Seasons is breaking viewership records.

The first episode of the series is the most-viewed YouTube Original to date -- in terms of views within the first week of a series premiere, Variety reports. That places Seasons firmly ahead of Liza Koshy’s Liza On Demand, which scored 25.4 million views in one week for the debut episode of its second season. In third place is Cobra Kai, whose second season premiere nabbed 21 million views.

YouTube paid more than $20 million for the 10-part Bieber series, Variety reports, making it the company’s most expensive content acquisition to date. It’s something of an inevitable partnership, given that Bieber rose to renown on YouTube -- under the channel name Kidrauhl -- after his singing videos caught the eye of manager Scooter Braun.

Justin Bieber has made YouTube history two times over. The premiere episode of Justin Bieber: Seasons docuseries ranks as YouTube Originals’ most-watched debut episode ever in its first week, according to the video-sharing platform. Additionally, Bieber has become the first artist to reach 50 million subscribers on his YouTube artist channel, solidifying his status as the most subscribed artist on the platform.

The premiere episode of Seasons drew 32.65 million viewers reaching 97 countries, besting the season 2 premiere of Liza on Demand (25.4M) and Cobra Kai S2 (21M).

Justin Bieber: Seasons chronicles the making of Bieber’s first album in four years. The docuseries is directed and executive produced by Obb Pictures’ Michael D. Ratner with photographer Joe Termini set to direct additional episodes. The documentary is produced by Bieber Time Films, Sb Projects and Obb Pictures. Bieber serves as an executive producer. Scooter Braun, Allison Kaye and Scott Manson serve as executive...

“Justin Bieber: Seasons” has broken a record for YouTube: The docuseries’ first episode scored as the most-viewed premiere in its first week of all the platform’s originals to date.

Episode 1 of “Seasons” had 32.65 million views in the first week after its Jan. 27 debut, according to YouTube. That beat out YouTube’s original comedy “Liza On Demand” Season 2 debut (25.4 million) and the first episode of “Cobra Kai” Season 2 (21 million) over the same time periods.

YouTube paid upwards of $20 million for the 10-part Bieber docuseries, making it YouTube’s most expensive content acquisition to date, Variety reported. “Seasons” promises fans a revealing look at the making of the “Changes,” the pop star’s first new album in over four years.

Bieber, who famously got “discovered” on YouTube, is the most-followed music artist on the platform — and just surpassed 50 million subscribers for his channel. “Started as #kidrauhl and now this.

Justin Bieber’s “Yummy” may have struggled to beat out Roddy Ricch’s “The Box” on the pop charts, but Bieber has had no trouble getting a guest verse on his latest remix of the song.

Rising R&b star Summer Walker joins Bieber on the track, singing, “You already know, I got it/Can’t keep flexin’ on you when you can’t stop this/You already know, you want this/If you talkin’ then you ain’t doin’ nothing.”

Walker released her debut album, Over It, last October,...

Justin Bieber is revealing intimate details about his marriage to Hailey Bieber in his new docuseries, Seasons, including how their first interaction wasn't exactly love at first sight. While we've seen sparks fly between the on-again, off-again partners since 2015 during New Year's Eve parties and even on a low-key beach trip, it's hard to believe they were ever not a sexy duo with off-the-charts chemistry. Back in 2009, when Justin was just a pop star on the rise with a killer haircut and Hailey was a preteen with a modeling career ahead of her, the two were introduced by her dad, actor Stephen Baldwin, backstage at an early-morning show appearance, and it was all caught on camera.

In the video, Justin is thrilled to meet Stephen, who gave him a skateboarding DVD, but the most cringeworthy moment of all comes when a high-energy Justin meets Hailey with a handshake. We all had that awkward tween stage,...

The Biebers are officially a red carpet couple. You know what they say about newlywed bliss? Well, it certainly seems to have hit Justin and Hailey, who packed on the Pda during their first official public appearance as a married duo on Monday night at the premiere of his docuseries, Seasons. Justin and Hailey seemingly only had eyes for each other as they posed for photos together, as well as with family and friends.

"Seasons is out today," Hailey wrote on Instagram. "Grateful to let people in on our journey of the last year and a half. It was a tough road but we are stronger because of it . . and to @justinbieber you my love, are incredible. I love growing together! Thank you for sharing your story with the world . . I am so grateful to walk through this life with you."

The release of Seasons marks a new era of music for Justin,...

Justin Bieber will release his fifth album, Changes, on February 14th via Rbmg/Def Jam Recordings. The singer will support the album with a North American Summer tour, which goes on sale the day the new music drops. Bieber has also dropped a new song, “Get Me,” which features Kehlani.

The Changes Tour, presented by T-Mobile and promoted by Aeg Presents, will feature special guests Kehlani and Jaden Smith and kick off in Seattle at the CenturyLink Field on May 14th. The trek includes stops in Las Vegas, Chicago, Nashville,...

The run-up to Justin Bieber‘s fifth studio album has been an emotional Bieber-coaster.

First, he tried to galvanize his fanbase to stream his comeback single, “Yummy,” as it fell to the second spot the Rolling Stone Top 100 Songs chart and the Billboard Hot 100 thanks to the viral success of Roddy Ricch’s “The Box.” Then, last week, the pop singer cried next to his wife Hailey Baldwin and long-time manager Scooter Braun at the unveiling of his new project for music industry insiders.

Now, the latest move in the...

Today, YouTube premiered the first episode of Justin Bieber’s 10-part documentary Seasons, which mostly charts the creation of his forthcoming fifth album. For Bieber and his team, returning to YouTube is the perfect metaphor for his career: the video platform was how manager and confidant Scooter Braun accidentally discovered a 13-year-old Bieber on YouTube in 2007.

Now, at 25, Bieber has survived some of the lowest and highest points a pop star can endure: struggles with addiction, messy public break-ups, and career uncertainty have coexisted alongside hit singles, sold-out tours and becoming a household name.

New Amsterdam‘s hospital lockdown is just the beginning of Dr. Bloom’s many painful problems in TVLine’s exclusive sneak peek from this Tuesday’s winter premiere (NBC, 10/9c).

Following the escape of the Rikers patients, the facility goes into “Code Silver” mode, which is how Bloom and Dr. Ligon find themselves locked in a room with a young woman suffering severe abdominal pain. After having Ligon wheel her over to the patient’s bed, Bloom — who’s in a great deal of pain herself — realizes that she’s dealing with a case of an appendix that is ready to burst.

Angela Schanelec’s The Dreamed Path is one of the best films of the year, a film about healing and change, both of which are invisibly stripped in the images, all the while demanding a relationship between the bodies, one that appears and disappears, occurs and evades, succeeds and fails.The Dreamed Path seems to revolve around two relationships that brush against each other...

• I'm in transit in Dortmund and haven't reached my final destination Hamburg yet. I have posters and tons of pictures to share, so bare with me. I watched my last film on Friday at 8:30 which is called INDIGÈNES about the contribution of indigenous citizens from Africa in WWII to help free France from the Nazi occupation.I left Cannes gladly and was too drained and exhausted from the town and films but I will be back next year, Inshallah - but there's no doubt that it's the best festival in the world with the whole world in one small town. The locals are nice and friendly. The food is great. The town has the best theatres in the world with the Grand Lumiere at the top with 2400 seats. Another great thing about Cannes is you can catch up some of the films from Sundance, Rotterdam and Berlin among others.

• [Ed's note: This website is only possible with the help of some great folks - and before we get to the Cannes business - I'd like to intro y'all to our Cannes correspondent. Now in his second year attending the festival, Mr.Yama Rahimi will be our eyes and ears of the fest - relaying what we should be checking out in the near future. Yama was born in Kabul, Afghanistan; attended school in Germany; studied photography, web and graphic design before attending Los Angeles Film School to study film. He has written, produced and directed two short films. Prior to arriving on the Riviera, he was teaching students at Kabul University on Cinema. I'll be hard at work after this working holiday - he is currently developing several feature films. I asked Yama to list the films he is most looking forward to seeing at year's edition. Look for Yama's impression of this year’s slate – in easy capsule form reviews in the coming days. My two dollars for the Palme d'or goes to Fast Food Nation...I'm curious to see what Yama's pick will be...] The Official Selection 1. Volver by Pedro ALMODÓVAR 2. INDIGÈNES by Rachid Bouchareb 3.
