Lise Pedersen “Novorossiya” by Enrico Parenti and Luca Gennari, which had its world premiere this week at CPH:DOX, is a rare film that shows the ongoing conflict in Ukraine’s Eastern Donbas region from the Russian perspective.Gennari, an experienced cinematographer, was shocked at the way the war in the Luhansk and Donetsk region, where pro-Russian separatists have proclaimed the state of Novorossiya (literally “New Russia”), no longer received any media attention once the Maidan revolution was over.In 2017, he decided to head to the Donbas region with his camera to see what life was like there.The film follows the parallel stories of a handful of characters, ranging from a communist U.S. fighter from Texas to a young Ukrainian soldier, a captain in the separatist army who dreams of rebuilding the Soviet Union, an opera singer from the Donetsk opera house, two young men from a heavy metal band and two elderly women who live in a bunker.
Lizzo criticizes Texas abortion law during SXSW Film Festival keynote session: 'Stay out of my body'

AUSTIN, Texas – Lizzo had strong opinions on Texas' legislation and policy regarding abortion and transgender children during Sunday's keynote session at the SXSW Film Festival. Lizzo, who was raised in Houston, said she wasn't "proud to rep" the state's political laws and policies. "I’m proud to rep Houston, but I’m not proud to rep Texan politics right now," the "Truth Hurts" singer told the audience listening at the Austin Convention Center.
"There are very regressive laws being passed right now." Lizzo was referencing Gov. Greg Abbott's recent decision to label transgender medical procedures "child abuse." The governor ordered Texas Child Protective Services to investigate any reported cases, but a judge reportedly blocked the move on Friday. Lizzo criticized Texas abortion and transgender policy during a keynote session at SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas on March 13.

She also voiced her opinion on Texas' latest abortion law.The law specifically banned abortion after six weeks, or after a fetal heartbeat is detected. "The abortion ban is atrocious," Lizzo said.
"Mind your business. Stay out of my body." Lizzo doesn't believe that Texas lawmakers are focused on the right things and said that they are "letting [Texans] down." "We got a lot of other things that we need," Lizzo said, before adding, "there are people in charge who can change things on a systemic level, and they’re letting us down." Lizzo also opened up about her self-love journey and revealed she has finished a new album. (Photo by Tim Mosenfelder/Getty Images) Besides
