Tfl announce 20 new projects for 2018 ScriptLab, with a strong focus on genre movies.
The TorinoFilmLab (Tfl) has announced the 20 new projects selected for the 2018 ScriptLab. 50% of this year’s projects have female directors (ten will be directed by women, nine by men, and one co-directed by a man and a woman).
The ScriptLab is a nine-month scriptwriting programme hosted by the TorinoFilmLab, involving a number of feature films at an early stage of development. Composed of two week-long residential workshops, one in Greece (March) and one in France (June), the ScriptLab also feeds in to TorinoFilmLab annual industry event the Tfl Meeting (this year running on the 23-24 November, as usual in parallel to the Torino Film Festival).
“We noticed a new yearning for genre cinema” comments TorinoFilmLabartistic director Matthieu Darras. “Several of these projects either explore the recent past, the 90s or early 2000s, or an imagined near future in various sci-fi survival stories”

A special event capped off Friday November 3 at the Trieste Science + Fiction Festival, namely the 21st Golden Méliès ceremony. This culmination of the European Fantastic Film Festival Federation's (Effff) Méliès competition saw 8 feature films and 17 short films - silver Méliès winners of either affiliated or adherent festivals - compete for the top prize. The jury, comprised of film critics Beatrice Fiorentino, Fabrizio Liberti, and Jean-François Rauger awarded the feature film Méliès d'Or to Joachim Trier's supernatural love story, Thelma, while Magali Magistry's dystopian fantasy Expire took home the short film award. It's only fitting that the award ceremony was followed by a live piano concert during which famous Méliès shorts like Le Voyage Dans La Lune (1902), Les Quat'cents Farces du...

I have been adding titles that will play the 2013 Cannes Film Festival to the database periodically since they were first announced last week as well as updating the complete line-up as more and more titles have been added. Last week it was announced Ari Folman's The Congress would serve as the opening night film for the Directors' Fortnight selection and today the fest organizers announced the complete Critics' Week (Semaine de la Critique) line-up, which will open on May 16 with Katell Quillevere's Suzanne and a selection largely made up of names I'm not personally familiar with. The most notable name is Sundance stand-out Ain't Them Bodies Saints from director David Lowery. Personally I expected this film to be among the Un Certain Regard selection after the love it received at Sundance, but its inclusion is a welcome one as Rooney Mara's performance is one that's been much talked...

This morning the official 2013 Cannes Film Festival line-up was announced from Paris, France. The committee saw 1,858 films submitted this year and while additional titles will continue to be announced, this morning we got the full Competition and Un Certain Regard lineup and it looks amazing so far. Among the films announced In Competition so far, many were expected including Nicolas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives, Steven Soderbergh's Behind the Candelabra, Roman Polanski's Venus in Fur, Asghar Farhadi's The Past and Joel and Ethan Coen's Inside Llewyn Davis. Additionally James Gray's once titled Lowlife starring Marion Cotillard, Joaquin Phoenix and Jeremy Renner will play, but under the name The Immigrant and Takashi Miike's cop thriller Wara No Tate (Straw Shield) has also made the competition list. However, the biggest "surprise" is the inclusion of Alexander Payne's black-and-white film Nebraska, which is sure to be a big attention getter,...
