To the consternation of some fans, Lostdidn't resolve all of its mysteries by the time the series ended. To others, this means still being able to ponder, theorize and wonder about "what it all means." One of the most controversial and confusing narrative devices was the "Flash-Sideways World" in Lost Season 6, but one of the final episodes may have offered up a clue about it. Interestingly, the first scene in Season 6 subtly spoils the Flash-Sideways World twist, when Rose tells Jack he needs to "let go." Later, Bernard returns from the bathroom, saying, "remind me to hold it next time."

Seemingly a throwaway line, it gives away...

LOSTremains one of the most popular, influential shows in the history of TV. With such importance comes endless debating and polarizing opinions. Lost's finale, "The End," often finds itself on the receiving end of complaints and criticisms.

All criticisms are valid -- if one doesn't like a show or a story, they're more than in the right to voice that opinion. However, some criticisms of Lost's finale -- and the series in general -- aren't always entirely based on what the show itself provided. Nearly two decades following Lost's premiere on ABC, every argument has been thrown into the ring when it comes to how the show ended. Many of those arguments fail to hold water.

Marrakech International Film Festival (Miff) is deploying a twofold tactic for its upcoming 21st edition to give a boost to its local theatrical distribution sector, and fuel wider global releases for Moroccan, Arab and Pan-African films.

“The idea is not to launch a market, but to create a platform whereby international distributors can discover films premiering in the festival’s selection and the projects at the Atlas Workshops,” the festival’s artistic director Remi Bonhomme tells Screen of the bespoke initiatives spanning both the festival(November 29 – December 7) and its parallel talent incubator the Atlas Workshops (December 1 – 5).

For the first time in its history,...

A star-studded edition of the Seville European Film Festival wrapped up over the weekend, with Ludovich and Zoran Boukherma’s French coming-of-age drama “And Their Children After Them” taking home the Giraldillo de Oro, the Festival’s top honor. Its lead, Paul Kircher, also scored a best actor win.

This year’s Official Selection jury included legendary British producer David Puttnam (“Chariots of Fire”) as president alongside Oscar-winning actor Jeremy Irons, Rome Film Festival artistic director Paola Malanga, Algerian filmmaker Mounia Meddour (“Papicha”) and Yelmo Cines programming manager Eva Rekettyei.

Now, in its second year under director Manuel Cristobal, Seville has expanded its selection to include all types of European cinema, from the most experimental arthouse indies to broad four-quadrant fare. The festival also aims to increase its influence on the awards season with the addition of the Puerto América Award – given to the best Oscar-submitted film in the program...

And the winner is: “Simon of the Mountain.”

The film, directed by Federico Luis – and marking his feature debut – was awarded Cannes’ Critics Week Grand Prix.

Sold by Luxbox, the Argentina-Chile-Uruguay production stars Lorenzo “Toto” Ferro, the lead in breakout “El Angel,” as Simon, 21, a lonely only son who falls in with a group of discapacitated kids, feigning a discapacity. Thanks to their friendship he flowers, discovering love, sex and a sense of belonging.

“I am thinking not only about what it means to us, but also about what it means to the people in Argentina who, over the course of the next four years, will struggle, trying to make local films,” said Luis, accepting the award.

“At home, there are people who still think we make films no one wants to see. I hope this will change it and that Argentinian people – and then the whole world – will watch Argentinian cinema.
