Naman Ramachandran British critic, writer, producer, commissioner and director Catherine Bray and film acquisitions executive and festival program advisor Paul Ridd have launched a weekly podcast dedicated to J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings.” “Not Another F**King Elf” is a character guide podcast that takes an hour-long deep dive into each “The Lord of the Rings” character, with clips from different adaptations of the work from films to audiobooks to radio adaptations. Each episode begins with a recap of the character arc of the chosen subject.
The first episode, launching Friday, focuses on Gollum. Future episodes will cover everything from Hobbits to Elves, humans to animals and wizards to Dark Lords. There will be 10 episodes in the first season.
“We are an absolutely unofficial, fan-made, independent, DIY bedroom podcast that is not in any way affiliated with any official source of Tolkien-related ephemera and exists as a work of criticism, analysis and deep fandom,” said Bray and Ridd, who are self-confessed “The Lord of the Rings” nerds.Michael Winterbottom has co-directed a documentary chronicling the families of Gaza who were impacted by the May 2021 conflict between Israel and Palestine. Set to premiere in London on May 4, “Eleven Days in May” — which is directed by Winterbottom and Mohammed Sawaf — tells the stories of the 60-plus children who were killed in Gaza over the 11 days of conflict. The film is narrated by Kate Winslet with music by Max Richter.
All profits from the screening will go towards the Hoping Foundation‘s work for Palestinian refugee children. The film is distributed by Revolution Films. – Manori RavindranCheck out a trailer for the film below:Filming has begun in Leeds, U.K., on BB
