While it’s impossible to say which role Natalia will play we can safely assume that it has nothing to do with the projects scheduled to be released in 2024, ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ and ‘Agatha: Darkhold Diaries’ since the casting for those...

Well-established docu sales outfit Cinephil has acquired world rights to the U.S. doc “Black Snow,” directed and produced by New York-based Alina Simone of Prettier in the Dark Productions.
For her doc feature debut, due to world premiere at Copenhagen’s Cph:dox in the F:act competition program, Ukraine-born Simone has teamed up with Academy Award-nominated producer Kirstine Barfod (“The Cave”).
“I was in the U.S. for the promotion of Feras Fayyad’s ‘The Cave’ when I heard about this project about the ‘Erin Brockovich of Russia.’ I got immediately intrigued,” says New York-based Barfod, involved in her first U.S.-produced documentary through her banner Nordland Pictures.
Director Alina Simone
The film is both an eco-thriller, and an awe-inspiring portrait of Russian mother-turned-environmental journalist Natalia Zubkova. We follow her as she embarks on a perilous crusade in the heart of Siberia, in the name of truth and healthy living,...

The first episode of Full Circle set the story up for the viewers to get a grasp of what the Guyanese syndicate is up to. Their men botched up the kidnapping, and they don’t know it yet. Jared is safe and sound for now, but his family is concerned about the boy who got kidnapped, their safety, and the money. The mafia was targeting Chef Jeff, and his family was not sure why they were after his money. The second episode will draw more conclusions on this and provide details about the family as well.
Spoilers Ahead
Saving Nicky
The Browne family has taken it upon themselves to save Nicky out of guilt and pay the kidnappers. The family has enough capital, and they could withdraw on behalf of Jeff from the casinos as well. The family is disturbed by what happened, and they’d never felt the threat...

HBO has been known for bringing out some groundbreaking television shows over the years. Television shows in the mafia genre like The Sopranos were HBO’s flagship stories, which remain cult classics. Full Circle, created by Ed Solomon and directed by Steven Soderbergh, gives us a glimpse into a Guyanese family living in New York City and the mafia ring they have been running for some time. The crimes they are committing and who they are targeting is what the first episode is all about.
Spoilers Ahead
The Guyanese mafia
The opening credits’ begin with a picture of a rich family, and from the shot, it is clear that the plot of the show will revolve around this family. They would either be the target of some crime, or part of a crime syndicate. The show kicks off with a person being murdered, and the killer runs off with a bag of money.

With “Full Circle,” Steven Soderbergh once again immerses us in a multi-character crime caper. Typical of the director’s work, it’s intricate, obsessed with money, cognizant of sociopolitical realities and astute about human nature (if not super illuminating). This six-episode Max limited series is on the more serious end of the Soderbergh spectrum, “Traffic”-like rather than an “Ocean’s” romp, mousetrap-plotted as opposed to experimental. The overall effect is one of the smart, showy filmmaker doing donuts, but spinning the wheels of a well-tuned Escalade.
Written by Ed Solomon, who also provided the scripts for Soderbergh’s earlier mystery projects “Mosaic” and “No Sudden Move,” “Circle” transfers the basic idea of Akira Kurosawa’s procedural “High and Low” to a contemporary New York City with a much denser population of key characters. A scheme to kidnap the son of a wealthy family gets royally and morally screwed up...

At a time when overall deals are getting the side-eye, no disapproving stares need be sent toward Steven Soderbergh. The Oscar- and Emmy-winning director signed a three-year deal with WarnerMedia in 2020, when Max was still HBO Max and HBO still had exclusive rights to its original library, and he’s continue to deliver throughout the streamer’s tumultuous transition — one film per year, including the third in his trilogy with Channing Tatum (“Magic Mike’s Last Dance”), a buzzy thriller starring Zoë Kravitz (“Kimi”), and a little movie featuring the one-and-only Meryl Streep (“Let Them All Talk”).
For an artist who once thought he was done with filmmaking for good, Soderbergh has become the portrait of reliability. People can quibble over quality — none of his films have garnered the awards attention seen in his early career or the critical adoration of, say, HBO’s “Behind the Candelabra” — but he’s produced thoughtful stories,...

With the presumptive demise of physical media, there’s nothing I’m going to miss quite so much as DVD commentary tracks. It’s less the banal puffery and hagiographic nostalgia of 95 percent of them and more the occasional recording on which somebody would unload with two hours of candor, whether it’s Ben Affleck talking Armageddon or the delicate dance performed by Steven Soderbergh and screenwriter Lem Hobbs discussing The Limey.
That Limey commentary track is a spectacular illustration of how great movies can still be made even if two key creative forces aren’t on the same page regarding much of anything. It’s also a reminder of how often the things that Soderbergh does behind the camera aren’t always aligned with whatever might have been the initial goals of whoever wrote the screenplay — and nor need they be, necessarily.

Panchito is missing. Nobody knows what happened to him. He disappeared before Nino (Nicolás Díaz) and his family arrived in the village. His shadow hangs over everything. Nino and his sister Natalia (Martina Grimaldi) are told not to go into the forest. Their mother wants them to stay close to the house, the school, the church. But something in Nino is attracted to the wilder places, and he already knows that being part of the community is no guarantee of safety.
The family has moved out to the village, close to where Nino’s father works tearing down trees to build houses, because Nino has suffered a violent homophobic assault. We see this in the film’s opening scenes: the frightened 12-year-old pursued by a mob of other kids, knocked down, punched and kicked repeatedly, then dumped into the back of a truck which is, obscurely, full of toads. The village isn’t exactly.

Like a peckish panda let loose in a showroom for bamboo patio furniture, the modern audience’s craving for true-life stories is seemingly insatiable. And like said ursine gnawing greedily on a flavorful teakwood club chair, nonfiction has been steadily gobbling up narrative filmmaking, with almost every major news item of the last 40 years being dutifully reimagined as a prestige limited series. And sure, projects like HBO’s Love and Death or Hulu’s The Dropout can help fill the void abdicated by the mid-budget studio drama, but where does that leave actual documentary movies—or documentary filmmakers for that matter?
While there’s certainly not an overabundance of industry support out there for emerging nonfiction filmmakers, there is at the very least the Film Independent Documentary Lab. And today, we’re thrilled to welcome seven new Fellows and six new projects to the 2023 Doc Lab cohort. “Documentary filmmakers remain...
