Shudder in June: FIND YOUR FRIENDS, FORBIDDEN FRUITS, THE VOICES OF OUR MOTHER and More

Tue, 26 May 2026 10:45:00 -0500

Summer does not officially begin until the third week of June but Winter was such a slog and May has been very much, "It May snow today", or, "It May rain today", or, "It May be blistering hot for like five minutes today", we just want a season that picks a lane and sticks with it. Shudder will bring some heat of its own with June's lineup of originals and rep programming. Ladies are in focus next month with Izabel Pakzad's soon-to-be much talked about, Find Your Friends, Meredith Alloway's Forbidden Fruits, Lucile Hadzihalilovic's award-winning The Ice Tower, and a focus on moms in Mark O'Brien's The Voices of Our Mother.

Hey Canada! Watch NFB's GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL Right Now!

Thu, 21 May 2026 10:34:10 -0500

The Canadian National Film Board (NFB) just released Cordell Barker’s darkly whimsical animated 2025 short film on the Artificial Intelligence debate for free on its streaming platform. Good Luck To You All plays like an inversion of Pixar's Wall-E mixed with The Iron Giant. A little girl plays with her toys (both casually and roughly). In the background, a television visualizes out her thoughts on 'robot friends' in real time via news excerpts and fantasy. It is a visually complex and kinetic eight minutes, which crams a lot of ideas and narrative into a tight and clever package. It is also in the fine tradition of the NFB offering a platform for philosophical, and even a bit nihilistic, explorations into human nature. I often recommend John Weldon's NFB short To Be,...

New York Asian 2026: COLONY Set to Open

We respect the Cannes Film Festival, which kicked off earlier this week with Pierre Salvadori's The Electric Kiss.

Our own Andrew Mack reported earlier this week that Colony has been acquired by Well Go USA for distribution in North America. Many other territories have also been acquired. To give Cannes its due, Colony will enjoy its world premiere there today as part of its Midnight Screenings section. Well Go USA is already planning a theatrical release for the film...

Our friends at the Chattanooga Film Fest have (CFF) have outdone themselves this year, with the final wave of programming promising many rad films, people, and events coming up next month. If you're busy during the third week of June, cancel your plans and head to this punk rock genre fest in person, virtually, or both!

Cannes 2026: Kicking Off

Mon, 11 May 2026 11:17:11 -0500

To paraphrase Shakespeare *, some attend Cannes, some yearn to attend Cannes, and some watch Cannes selections months or years later. I have been in the third camp all my life, but I remain eager to see what films are selected, which films generate excitement, and which films disappear under a wave of bad press. Screenings at the 79th Festival de Cannes commence tomorrow, Tuesday, May 12, 2026. Visit the festival's selection page to dive further into the program, which divides into the higher-profile, established auteur-filled Competition titles, the usually-more-intriguing Un Certain Regard section, Out of Competition, Cannes Premieres, Special Screenings, Cannes Classics, and so forth, not to forget Quinzaine des cineastes (Director's Fortnight), which starts on Wednesday. Several of our contributors are attending in...
