Christian Petzold’s Afire and Celine Song’s Past Lives are among the titles set to screen at this year’s scaled-down Edinburgh International Film Festival (Aug 18-23), which is being mounted as part of Edinburgh’s wider cultural Festival.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic Perhaps the greatest surprise of Jack Schlossberg’s recent social media rant against the concept of restaurants was that it happened at all.  To this point, Schlossberg — the youngest child of current U.S. Ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy, and thus the youngest grandchild of the late President John F. Kennedy — has kept a fairly low profile. Unlike various higher-flying members of his extended family, Schlossberg largely keeps out of the public eye, with his public comment reserved for things like dutifully revealing the Kennedy family’s Profile in Courage Award honorees on “Today.” Which made his direct-to-camera diatribe about how antisocial and unhealthy restaurants are — serving food that we “put inside of our body, which really matters a lot” — a rare thing. And across this writer’s social media feeds, where the video kept burbling up over a slow July 4 weekend, people seemed to be getting a clearer view of where Camelot is now.

Kevin Costner honored the history of America and had hope for the future in a patriotic post celebrating July 4.  Costner, 68, carried an American flag in an Instagram snap from a scene in his award-winning, directorial debut, "Dances With Wolves." "Happy Fourth, friends," he wrote. "I’ve spent my career diving into the history of America—both the ugly and the beautiful parts of it."           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Kevin Costner & Modern West (@kevincostnermodernwest) He added, "Today, I celebrate the HOPE that drove our ancestors.

PBS is gearing up for a star-studded and explosive celebration for the Fourth of July!

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is putting his body on display in new videos shared to social media.

exclusively broke the news and shared this year's five honorees who will be recognized for their lifetime artistic achievements. The Kennedy Center announced that the «First Lady of Hip-Hop» Queen Latifah, comedy legend Billy Crystal, Bee Gees member Barry Gibb, «America's Soprano» Renée Fleming, and pop music trailblazer Dionne Warwick, will all be honored during this year’s ceremony in Washington, D.C. Fellow honoree Gloria Estefan will return to host the ceremony. The honorees all celebrated the news with statements.«I’m humbled to be included in this incredible list of artists honored by the Kennedy Center.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Dionne Warwick, Billy Crystal, Queen Latifah, Barry Gibb and Renée Fleming have been set as the five arts figures due to be celebrated at the 46th annual Kennedy Center Honors, with a ceremony taking place Dec. 3 in Washington, D.C. The ceremony will take place Dec. 3 and be filmed for later broadcast airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. Four of the five honorees hail from the world of music, although Queen Latifah has shifted her focus toward acting in recent years. The ratio is not an uncommon one for the Kennedy Center Honors: Last year’s ceremony honored U2, Amy Grant, Tania León and Gladys Knight, leaving George Clooney the odd acting man out.

Sophia Scorziello editor The American Film Institute has revealed its selection of participants for the 2023 Cinematography Intensive for Women. The four-day program aims to give aspiring cinematographers extensive on-set experience and a look into the ins and outs of the entertainment industry. CIW is presented by Panavision and is spearheaded by Stephen Lighthill, head of AFI Conservatory Cinematography Discipline and president of the American Society of Cinematographers. “We are thrilled to champion this cohort of talented and diverse filmmakers,” said Lighthill. “This opportunity – to help the participants continue to develop their craft at this stage in their career and provide them with the tools necessary to excel as a visual storyteller – is a wonderful honor for us all.”

The Blackening is a potent blend of comedy, and thrills that parodies and challenges the genre’s tropes, specifically those around a mostly Black cast. Under the direction of Tim Story and script by Tracey Oliver, it pays homage to some iconic horror franchises like Scream, Friday the 13th, and Saw with a bit of Cabin In The Woods sprinkled in for some extra razzle dazzle. In the midst of the chaotic hijinks, the narrative centers Black American culture and all of its complexities. The film stars Jermaine Fowler, Antoinette Robertson, Dewayne Perkins, Sinqa Walls, Grace Byers, X Mayo, Melvin Gregg, with Yvonne Orji, and Jay Pharoah. 

Luke Bryan has kicked off his 2023 Country on Tour with three shows this past weekend.

Ben Croll Chiara Malta and Sébastien Laudenbach’s hand-painted marvel “Chicken for Linda!” took home dual honors at the Annecy Animation Festival on Saturday, scooping up the festival’s top prize, the Cristal Award for best feature, as well as the Gan Foundation award for distribution. A bittersweet childhood tale that finds screwball humor in mourning and melancholy, the French-language film premiered to some acclaim out of Cannes’ ACID sidebar last month, and was picked up for North American distribution by Gkids while competing in Annecy. “We wanted something both funny and affecting,” said co-director Chiara Malta. “The two elements were never in conflict, because we made the film for children, putting ourselves in their perspectives while adopting their language.”
