The 32nd Hamptons International Film Festival (Hiff) has officially unveiled its 2024 winners.

The festival, which took place from October 4 through October 14, marked the U.S. premiere of John Crowley’s “We Live in Time,” with screenings of “Nightbitch,” “A Real Pain,” “Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point,” and R.J. Cutler’s Martha Stewart Netflix documentary “Martha” among the acclaimed features.

“Silence is not emptiness. It is not the absence of something. It is the presence of the self, and nothing else,” says the riveting titular protagonist in “Viktor.” “In this silence, I find my peace.”

One of the unexpected gems of this year’s fest, “Viktor” is a (Darren Aronofsky-produced) doc from the multi-award-winning director/Dp Olivier Sarbil, a globetrotting conflict photojournalist who’s now chosen to set his latest in Ukraine., a nail-biting investigative look at the former Philippines strongman Rodrigo Duterte’s deadly “war on drugs” through both its mostly addict victims and chillingly remorseless perpetrators.) But what makes the film so extraordinary is that the ongoing invasion is not the focus but merely backdrop for a window into a truly unique Pov on the Russian assault.

For like Sarbil, Viktor is himself a photojourno and cinephile, his taste leaning towards samurai flicks, which he watches on...

Fox Sports 1 will shake up its morning schedule following the exit of hot-talk host Skip Bayless, charting a new era in its bid to vie with Disney’s ESPN.

Two new shows, “Breakfast Ball” and “The Facility,” will anchor mornings on the cable network, starting in the fall. They lead into FS1 mainstays “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” and “First Things First” in afternoons. “Speak,” a retooled program, will air afterwards.

“The Facility” takes over the slot previously hosted by Bayless and his program,...

Director James Jones brings to light powerful stories of dissent with his compelling new documentary, Antidote. Through his insightful lens, we bear witness to the brave actions of those risking everything to hold Russia’s authoritarian government accountable.

Their fight is against a formidable foe in Vladimir Putin, who has tightened his grip on power over decades. Anyone who challenges the regime’s control or corruption faces dire consequences. We learn of political leaders murdered through poisoning and journalists threatened with the same sinister fate for their work exposing the Kremlin. Facing such a ruthless machine, speaking the truth is a perilous act of courage.

Jones introduces us to three individuals on the frontlines. There is the scientist who helped develop dangerous poisons, only to become a whistleblower when learning of their use against dissenters. To escape retaliation, he must flee at all costs. A political activist who survived two...

The world of Game of Thrones is complicated enough, but its prequel House of the Dragon seems to be making it further complicated by taking more than a few liberties with the source material. Ever since the series first premiered, fans have found several differences and distinctions between the books and the on-screen adaptation.

The film celebrates what it is to be Irish with celebrities and politicians offering their take on the Emerald Isle.

Interviewees include Navan-born Pierce Brosnan, Bob Geldof, Andrew Scott, Sharon Horgan, Oscar winner Jeremy Irons, and Prince Albert II of Monaco, discussing the Irish heritage of his mother, the Oscar winning actress Grace Kelly.

Rory Guinness — the great-great-great grandson of Guinness founder Arthur Guinness, former Man Utd owner John Magnier, Grand National-winning jockey Rachael Blackmore, Celebrity Masterchef winner Riyadh Khalaf, and Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt are also interviewed.

Serving the entertainment industry for more than two decades is a big deal, and Christopher Nolan has been doing it flawlessly. But there are several filmmakers, who played a major role in Nolan’s success. One such inspiration is Terrence Malick, who has unknowingly influenced Nolan’s works to such an extent, that today the Tenet director has turned into one of the most celebrated filmmakers.

Although the visionary director, Terrence Malick has been overlooked by the Academy Awards for years, his works have reached out to people and fans like Christopher Nolan.

In honour of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Et Canada is highlighting Indigenous Canadian TikTok stars who are shining light on Indigenous culture, history, representation and more, ultimately making a difference in creating a better future for Indigenous youth.

James Jones a.k.a Notorious Cree

Traditional hoop dance artist, James Jones, also known as Notorious Cree, rose to fame on TikTik and uses his platform to shine a spotlight on Indigenous representation in the media, which he never saw growing up.

@notoriouscree

Im always curious to know what people see within the hoopdance?

Jones, who is from the Tallcree First Nation in Alberta, has taught his 3.9 million followers everything from different styles of Indigenous dances and the importance of long, braided hair in Indigenous culture to Indigenous music recommendations and more. He also recently made a TikTok with Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas,...

Indigenous Canadian TikTok star and musician, Tia Wood, is readying her debut album.

The 24-year-old opened up to Et Canada for our upcoming special in honour of National Truth and Reconciliation Day on September 30 about the creative process, which has so far been two and a half years in the making, since Wood left the Reserve.

Wood — who is TikTok famous with a following of 2.3 million — has the social media platform to thank for playing a big role in sharing her Indigenous culture and educating others online. The singer said “bringing awareness and the beautiful opportunities” that have emerged from creating content have been the best parts about sharing her truth on TikTok.

“I started realizing that there was a lack of awareness, and that’s when I became more meaningful in the stuff I was posting.”

“I’ve been invited to tables and to spaces that I’ve never been invited to before,...

The fundamental thing about documentary filmmaking is telling a story in a manner that is exciting enough to grab the attention of the audience. Otherwise, why would you watch something about which you can find basically everything on the internet itself? Apple TV’s latest documentary series about former Nissan and Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn, titled Wanted: The Escape of Carlos Ghosn, follows this fundamental thing to a tee. As a result, watching the four-episode docuseries feels like watching a big-budget Hollywood thriller. The story itself is something that any filmmaker would grab to make cinema out of it. Someone like Michael Mann or Ben Affleck would do proper justice to it, for sure.

The documentary series is helmed by James Jones, who also happens to be a big deal. The BAFTA-winning documentary filmmaker has done many great works in the past that have covered grave international matters like the...

Fred Zinnemann’s sturdy adaptation of James Jones’s army melodrama remains an underrated slice of homoerotic, bittersweet war-is-hell film-making

Seventy years ago, in the midst of mass critical adulation and storming box office for From Here to Eternity, the Guardian published one of the film’s few tepid reviews. “No doubt no army in a free country was at its best in pre-war years,” wrote the paper’s unnamed film critic, “but surely no unit of the American Army was quite so corrupt as this account would have us believe.” The acting and directing were “first-class”, the critic acknowledged; the film itself “[defied] credibility”.

Viewed in 2023, Fred Zinnemann’s big, muscular melodrama of Hawaiian barracks life in the months leading up to the bombing of Pearl Harbor has inevitably dated a bit – though perhaps not as much as the Guardian’s concern that it did the US army a bit dirty.

Apple TV+ has dropped the trailer for the four-part documentary series ‘Wanted: The Escape of Carlos Ghosn,’ telling the riveting story of CEO-turned-fugitive Carlos Ghosn and his relentless climb to the top of the corporate ladder, shocking arrest, and unbelievable escape that stunned the world

The series features in-depth access to all of the key players in the saga, including Mike Taylor, the former Green Beret who orchestrated Ghosn’s harrowing escape, and the man in the middle of it all – Carlos Ghosn – who, for the first time, tells his side of this ongoing, global news story, from start to finish.

Inspired by the acclaimed book “Boundless,” by The Wall Street Journal reporters Nick Kostov and Sean McLain, the series includes never-before-seen interviews and footage with the prime players who lived in the Ghosn orbit, his rise to corporate power in Japan, his several arrests and the details of his harrowing escape to Lebanon.

Christopher Nolan is one of the most acclaimed and influential filmmakers of our time. His movies are known for their complex narratives, stunning visuals, and innovative use of sound and music. But what are the movies that inspire and influence him? In this article, we will explore some of the films that Nolan has recommended or praised in various interviews and podcasts. Whether you are a fan of his work or just curious about his cinematic tastes, this article will help you discover some great movies that you may not have seen before.

Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, this epic drama tells the story of a ruthless oil tycoon (Daniel Day-Lewis) and his conflict with a charismatic preacher (Paul Dano) in early 20th century California. Nolan said that this is “an excellent film” and “Paul’s best”, referring to the director.

Traditional hoop dance artist and TikTok star James Jones, a.k.a. Notorious Cree, reveals he has a music album on the way — a project that has stemmed from finding fame through his entertaining yet educational TikTok videos.

During our exclusive interview with Jones, the Canadian artist from the Tallcree First Nation in Alberta, told Et Canada’s Morgan Hoffman that he didn’t expect his videos would teach so many people about indigenous culture, admitting it made him realized how ignorant people in North America are to Indigenous culture.

BAFTA gave out their Craft Awards on Sunday, 23 April. As with the Primetime Emmys, the British academy also devotes a weekend to celebrating the creative arts. The BAFTA TV Craft Awards are split into 20 categories, with six devoted to fictional programming, six to factual programming, and a further four in combined fields.

The BBC medical drama “This is Going to Hurt” won three awards — Editing (Fiction), Scripted Casting, and Writer (Drama) for show creator Adam Kay. Kay adapted his best-selling memoir, which chronciled his experiences as a doctor in the NHS. Kay won in a stacked category that included Pete Jackson (“Somewhere Boy”), Alice Oseman (“Heartstopper) and Tony Schumacher (“The Responder”). “This is Going to Hurt” will contend at the Emmys in the limited series categories.

Meanwhile, Writer (Comedy) went to Lisa McGee for her work on “Derry Girls,” which follows a teenage girl and family in friends in 1990s Northern Ireland.

Just as the Primetime Emmys recognize a slew of categories during a weekend devoted to celebrating the Creative Arts, so too do the BAFTAs. The BAFTA TV Craft Awards honor various achievements across 20 different categories. An even dozen of these are devoted to fictional programming, another six to factual, and four are in combined fields. Winners of these awards were handed out in a ceremony on Sunday, April 23, three weeks before the main event. (Here’s the full list of BAFTA TV Awards nominations.)

The first episode showed Matt Blankinship, Sarah Wade, and Lauren Harpe going on the journey. They all had to pick one of three packages to either lose their vote or gain an advantage.

Someone who loses their vote could draw again at the risk of losing their vote for two Tribal Councils. Sarah lost her vote and tried again. That time she got the inheritance advantage. The new advantage allows you to secretly inherit all advantages and idols played at one Tribal Council.

“That’s awesome,” the management consultant said. “I think that’s totally worth losing one vote.”

Updated with full winners’ list and more details, including a leading three awards for Fire of Love: All That Breathes and All the Beauty and the Bloodshed — the two frontrunners for best documentary at the Oscars — split the top awards at the 16th annual Cinema Eye Honors in New York tonight.

Filmmaker Laura Poitras won Outstanding Direction for her work on All the Beauty and the Bloodshed. But it was All That Breathes, directed by Shaunak Sen, that earned Outstanding Nonfiction Feature, the Cinema Eye Honors’ equivalent to the Oscars’ Best Documentary Feature (see full list of winners below).

Sen’s film examines the work of Nadeem and Saud – two brothers in Delhi, India – who have devoted their energies to rehabilitating birds of prey like the black kite, which suffer in the polluted air of the metropolis.

“I was just asking Nadeem today how many birds he thinks they would have saved so far,...

“All That Breathes,” a documentary about two brothers who run a refuge for birds that have been injured by the pollution in New Dehli, has been named the best nonfiction film of 2022 at the 16th annual Cinema Eye Honors ceremony, which took place on Thursday night at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens, New York.

“All That Breathes” previously won the top award at the International Documentary Association’s IDA Documentary Awards, the other major award devoted to nonfiction film. It is also on the 15-film shortlist for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

Laura Poitras won the award for directing for “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed,” while “Navalny” won the award for production.

After 26 days of swollen ankles, last gasps and shocking betrayals, the winner of “Survivor 43” was crowned during the December 14 season finale on CBS. (Read our minute-by-minute live blog to see how it all went down.). The episode began with just the Top 5 finalists left in the running to win the 1 million prize: Cassidy Clark, Mike Gabler, Jesse Lopez, Karla Cruz Godoy and Owen Knight. But only one of them had what it took to outwit, outplay and outlast the others and join the “Survivor” winners list.

By the end of the second hour, Karla and Jesse had both been eliminated from the game, leaving the Top 3 castaways to face the jury. Host Jeff Probst then read the jury votes aloud in dramatic fashion. Gabler ended up winning the title of Sole Survivor with seven votes, while Cassidy came in second place with one vote and Owen placed third with zero votes.

All season long, Gold Derby readers have been making their predictions for who they think will take home the 1 million grand prize on “Survivor 43.” With just hours left to go before the season finale airs December 14 on CBS, the overwhelming favorite to win is Jesse Lopez. This 30-year-old survey methodologist from North Carolina was solely responsible for ousting his biggest threat, Cody Assenmacher, during the penultimate episode. Jesse also holds a secret immunity idol that should theoretically bring him to the Final 4, at which case he’d truly be vulnerable for the first time ever.

Here are Gold Derby’s current “Survivor 43” winner predictions for the Top 5:

1. Jesse Lopez — 23/50 odds

2. Karla Cruz Godoy — 8/1 odds

3. Cassidy Clark — 10/1 odds

4. Owen Knight — 12/1 odds

5. Mike Gabler — 28/1 odds

If you’re taking bets on which of the final five on “Survivor 43” is going to make it to the three chairs at the final tribal council, your safest bet is Owen Knight. And yet if you’re betting on who is the most likely to actually win, put him at the bottom of your list. Left out from the majority in many post-merge votes and without much agency to make decisions, Owen has been the string-along goat of the season. Still, we think he’s locked and loaded to make it to the end. Below, we take a look at why he we don’t think he’ll win in our “Survivor 43” finale spotlight.

As it stands in the final five, Owen is strongly aligned to Mike Gabler and loosely aligned to Jesse Lopez. Gabler is a safe bet for Owen to go to the end with, but after...

With two immunity and one fire-making challenge left to play out in the “Survivor 43” finale, wins are going to be a huge factor in determining who takes home the million dollar prize. Having already proven herself as a threat in both physical and mental challenges and coming off the heels of an important immunity win at final six, Cassidy Clark is poised to mount a late-game challenge streak that could turn the heads of the jury. She is the best dark horse candidate to win. Below, we take a look at how she could pull it off in our “Survivor 43” finale spotlight.

Cassidy’s journey to the final five has been one of the quieter ones. Her early game was defined mostly by her antagonizing of tribe mate Ryan Medrano and the vengeance she sought against him for voting for her week five. When the merge hit, Cassidy fell into...

Up until a few weeks ago, Karla Cruz Godoy was one of the most powerful players in “Survivor 43,” but poor decisions and ill-conceived lies have left her at the back of the pack heading in to Wednesday’s finale. Tricked into playing her immunity idol a week too early and deceived by her now former allies, Karla goes into the final five without protection and seen as the least trustworthy player left. In order to make it to the final tribal council she’ll need to repair the damage. Below, we take a look at where she might find support in our “Survivor 43” finale spotlight.

Two weeks running Karla’s name has come up as the person that needs to be taken out, but she’s still in the game with only two tribal councils to go until the end. Much of her threat level was based on her close...

All that Breathes topped the 2022 IDA Documentary Awards, winning best feature and two other competitive awards. The film was previously selected as the winner of the Pare Lorentz Award.

In addition to the top prize, the HBO title, which follows two brothers who run a bird hospital dedicated to rescuing injured black kites that are often affected by air pollution in New Delhi, won best director for helmer Shaunak Sen and best editing.

Wednesday’s 10th episode of “Survivor 43” featured one of the most epic displays of determination when Noelle Lambert overcame a huge deficit to win the reward challenge. After the valiant feat, Noelle’s comrades in the game took advantage of a window of opportunity to blindside her at the next tribal council, sending her to jury as the fourth member. Read on for her “Survivor 43” exit interview from the end of the episode.

After two unanimous votes last week, Noelle’s elimination was a return to form for a group of players that have been maneuvering through votes with only slim majorities. Noelle was voted out 5-2-1 with a meaningful tip of scales against her from original tribe mates Jesse Lopez and Cody Assenmacher. The result for Noelle was a blindside that she attributes to them having “smelled it coming.” She says, “I came into this game wanting to...

If it’s true that liars end up with pants on fire, Cassidy Clark is going to need some new britches. In CBS’s latest “Survivor 43” secret scene (watch above), the 26-year-old designer from Texas lies right to Ryan Medrano‘s face about who voted him during the tribal council when Jeanine Zheng ultimately went home. Ryan received two votes that night: one from Jeanine and one from Cassidy. But the 25-year-old warehouse associate from Texas had no idea who was responsible for that second vote.

“Guys, I thought I was going to get voted out and didn’t have my giant shells. I was going to be upset,” Ryan tells the group on Night 16 after they all return to camp. In a private confessional, he reveals, “So tribal was supposed to be an easy vote. Everybody was in unison with [voting out] Jeanine. But somebody other than Jeanine put my name down at tribal.

Wednesday’s ninth episode of “Survivor 43,” Jeff Probst surprised the top 10 with two immunity idol necklaces and two tribal councils. The players returned the favor by surprising us with two blindsides. In the first of the night’s two eliminations, James Jones was hoodwinked by Karla Cruz Godoy, Owen Knight, Noelle Lambert and Sami Layadi. Read his “Survivor 43” exit interview below.

In a long history of blindsides, the move against James will go down as one of the best planned and most satisfying for those that made it. The set up was perfected once James and Owen, his growing arch nemesis in the game, were sorted into the same group to attend a split tribal council together. In the prior week, James had lied to Owen about the group voting out Ryan Medrano, leaving him as the odd man out in what ended up being a vote against his ally Jeanine Zheng.

Following last week’s elimination of Jeanine Zheng from “Survivor 43,” only 10 players remained in the running to win the 1 million grand prize. The numbers consist of three players from the old Baka tribe, four from the old Coco and three from the old Vesi. Tonight’s episode ended with a dramatic double elimination, so which two castaways ended up having their torches snuffed by Jeff Probst?

On Wednesday’s ninth episode of “Survivor 43,” a battle looks to be brewing between Owen Knight and James Jones. “James is dangerous,” Owen proclaims, referring to when James lied to him about the recent vote. Even though the majority of players were planning on voting out Jeanine Zheng, James told Owen that Ryan Medrano was actually the target. Uh-oh! Watch CBS’s sneak peek video for “What About the Big Girls” above.

“I was at the well with Sami and James,” Owen whispers to Sami Layadi and Mike Gabler shortly after Jeanine’s ouster. “I said, ‘If it’s Jeanine, just tell me, I’ll do it.’ They said, ‘Nope, it’s Ryan.'” Owen then declares in a confessional that he is “pissed” with James because of the lie. This continues the feud between the two guys that started after the merge, when James wanted to target Owen but...

Even though “Survivor 43” is still weeks away from crowning a winner, that’s not stopping longtime host Jeff Probst from unveiling the “Survivor 44” premiere date in a social media video (watch below). Mark your calendars for March 1, 2023, as that’s when the new season will officially debut on CBS. And it’ll be a two-hour episode, too.

“Hey, ‘Survivor’ fans!” Jeff Probst announces from inside his vehicle. “Hope you’re excited for this week’s episode of ‘Survivor 43.’ I just want to let you know some exciting news. We have a premiere date for ‘Survivor 44’ — March 1st! Two-hour premiere. More details to come when we get closer, but ‘Survivor’ continues on. Hope you enjoy this week’s episode.”

Viewers of “Survivor 43” Episode 8 saw Ryan Medrano spending his time prior to tribal council fishing instead of scrambling for votes. As it turns out, he was completely unaware of the fact that he was *thisclose* to being voted out on Wednesday night. We now know a bit more about why the 25-year-old warehouse associate from El Paso, Texas chose to fish so much, as revealed in CBS’s “Survivor 43” deleted scene (watch above). And it’s all thanks to his late grandfather.

“I thought fish would be nice,” Ryan explains to the camera. “My muscles — I feel them fatiguing over the things we’ve eaten. We need protein, and fish is something that gets people excited.” After spending hours in the ocean, he was able to bring back 21 fish for his fellow tribe members to devour.

The eighth episode of “Survivor 43” aired on Wednesday night and concluded with host Jeff Probst snuffing out the torch of Jeanine Zheng. The 24-year old from San Francisco, California was the eighth castaway sent packing and became the first member of the jury after being voted out on Day 16. Did the tribe make the right decision by voting out Jeanine? And what were the dumbest, most shocking and most exciting moments of the last episode?

Wednesday’s eighth episode of “Survivor 43” was largely defined by the merged tribe of players all wanting to work together to make an unanimous decision. Going into tribal council, Jeanine Zheng thought she was part of the vote to take out someone else, but instead it was her name written on the most parchments and she became the first member of the jury. Read her “Survivor 43” exit interview below.

Jeanine’s game received blow after blow once it turned to the individual portion of the game with a merged tribe. In the first vote, she could not cast a vote (she risked it earlier in the season) and her closest ally Elisabeth “Elie” Scott was taken out. Last week her next closest ally Dwight Moore was blindsided. And yet the blows of losing her strongest partners in the game did not compare to the realization that she was now without...

Following last week’s elimination of Dwight Moore from “Survivor 43,” only 11 players remained in the running to win the 1 million grand prize. The numbers consist of four players from the old Baka tribe, four from the old Coco and three from the old Vesi. So who had their torch snuffed by Jeff Probst and ended up becoming the first member of the jury?

Following the trajectory of seasons 41 and 42, “Survivor 43” enters the home stretch of the game this Wednesday when the final 11 players will begin voting each other out and onto the jury. Only three players will sit in the final seats at the last tribal council, meaning eight others will take their place on the jury that decides the winner. This stage of the game is defined by individual immunity, trust in what alliance you’ve built, who plays what advantage when, and padding your résumé with jury-impressing moves.

Two weeks ago we delivered our first power rankings of the season, naming Karla Cruz Godoy, Cody Assenmacher and Sami Layadi as the top players from each of the three original tribes entering the merge. All three remain in the game, but our assessment of who has built the best path to the final tribal council has changed. Take a look below at...
