Machetes, myths and murky storytelling all find their way into Tragic Jungle (Selva Trágica), the lushly made, if highly enigmatic, fifth feature from Mexican writer-director Yulene Olaizola (Fogo), which screened in the main slate of the New York Film Festival after premiering in the Horizons section in Venice.
Democratic nominee Joe Biden, wearing a face mask, took the stage Thursday at the Presidential Town Hall, moderated by Anderson Cooper and presented from the PNC Field baseball stadium in Moosic, Pennsylvania, in accordance with social distancing guidelines. Taking questions from Cooper and the audience, Biden removed his mask and shared that, if elected, he would introduce national standards for going to work safely amid the pandemic, including rapid testing, tracing and federal funding.
Dominic Patten, Ted Johnson All Joe Biden had to do to claim ground against Donald Trump in tonight’s CNN town hall was show up and show he cared. And that’s exactly what the former Vice-President did from the very start of the unique drive-in event near his hometown of Scranton, PA with Anderson Cooper.“My heart goes out to you,” the current Democratic POTUS candidate responded to local voter Shani Adams, who revealed that she had lost her sister to the coronavirus.

Brian Steinberg Senior TV EditorCNN is planning a town-hall event with Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden tonight that is so complex and ornate viewers may mistake it for something entirely different.“It’s going to be like ‘American Graffiti,” says Mark Preston, CNN’s vice president of political and special event programming, in an interview.So-called “town halls” have grown in popularity among the nation’s TV-news outlets in recent years, part of a bid to inject the voices of average

What the hell is going on with the “Star Trek” franchise? On the one hand, you have the CBS All Access arm of the sci-fi franchise, with multiple TV series that are apparently big hits for the streamer. Then on the film side, there’s…well, nothing.
According to the iron-clad definitions provided by two or three sites on the World Wide Web machine, millennials are people born between 1981 and 1996. That places the cast of 26-years-old-and-up characters in feature rom-com The Broken Hearts Gallery on the younger end of that generation, so old enough to have post-college jobs and some anxiety about making rent.
Inching forward on a rocky if deeply felt cinematic path that has rarely strayed far from reflections on himself and his mother, Azerbaijan filmmaker Hilal Baydarov opens up his vistas, somewhat, in the fiction feature In Between Dying (Sepelenmis Olumler Arasinda). It’s beautiful to look at, but the story of a young man on the run who encounters death at every turn of the winding road doesn’t really make much sense even in metaphorical terms.
Jessica Kiang The existential road movie gets an offbeat, elliptical yet peculiarly compelling Transcaucasian makeover in director Hilal Baydarov’s second fiction feature, “In Between Dying.” Set against the striking, often purgatorially stark backdrop of Azerbaijan’s rural landscapes, with their striated mountains, autumn forests, fog-shrouded fields and silvery pebbled lakesides, it’s a film indebted to its influences.
“In Between Dying” is a dreamlike story of personal transformation from rising Azerbaijani director Hilal Beydarov. With a fast-growing body of work that blends fiction and documentary, Beydarov is singlehandedly raising the profile of Azerbaijan at film festivals.
Serious discussions on the perpetuated correlation between race and class in Mexico have dominated the country’s collective consciousness over the last few years. Cinema has actively participated in such reckoning, but never before as boldly as in Michel Franco’s “New Order (Nuevo Orden).” Bound to be contentious at home for its brutal depiction of a not-so-implausible and not-so-distant dystopia, the auteur’s latest shocks with blistering purpose.
Ted Johnson Joe Biden will participate in a CNN town hall with Anderson Cooper on Sept.
