Pretty much a done deal for a major film festival launch in 2023 and sitting high up on our most anticipated list of directorial debuts, we can confirm that Meryam Joobeur‘s Motherhood is now in post and will get started on the editing this summer. Thanks to the Cineuropa folks we have a fresh batch of updates on the project.

We’ve learned that there was a mix of professional (the film’s matriarch) and non-professional actors; that the LuxBox Films folks will be repping the film and the film which we expected to be a full on drama will actually include some other genre elements deviating from basis of the short film “Brotherhood.” …...

Titles include Sundance Jury prize winner ‘Utama’

Transilvania International Film Festival has unveiled the 12 films that will screen in its official competition.

Each title competing for the Transilvania Trophy will receive its Romanian premiere at the 21st edition of the festival, which is set to take place in the city of Cluj-Napoca.

The line-up features Alejandro Loayza Grisi’s Utama, a Bolivian drama about an indigenous couple trying to survive a drought, which took home the Jury prize at Sundance Film Festival early this year.

Other titles include the directorial debut by French filmmaker Vincent Maël Cardona - Magentic Beats.

Máté Körösi’s documentary about a trio of troubled young women in Budapest and Francesco Montagner’s film following three sons in a Bosnian shepherd family explore the path to adulthood

Here is a strong pair of documentaries being shown together at the Bertha Dochouse in London; they are ostensibly mirror images of each other: a female trio and a male trio, urban Hungary and rural Bosnia, chatty and taciturn. But both Divas (★★★★☆) and Brotherhood (★★★★☆) are powerfully characterised works about young people that tunnel inside their milieus to broach questions of growing up and assuming personal responsibility.

Only six years older than the three 20-year-olds he encounters on the windowsill of a Budapest school that gives expelled students a last chance to get a diploma, director Máté Körösi seems self-conscious about following around the young women dubbed “the divas” by their classmates. Preened to the max, the group comprises new-agey,...

There’s been a shift in showrunners for the CW’s Charmed as Jeffrey Lieber, Joey Falco and Nicki Renna take over as showrunners for the drama’s Season 4, Deadline has confirmed.

The trio will step in for Liz Kruger and Craig Shapiro who helmed the series since the beginning of Season 2, following Carter Covington’s exit after Season 1. Kruger and Shapiro will remain on board as executive producers.

Charmed follows three sisters in a college town who,...

Now that was a finale! Or it was a penultimate episode. Or, well, it was the second episode of a season that is a direct continuation of the last one thanks to a pandemic, and you get the point.

Magic was up for grabs on Charmed (2018) Season 3 Episode 2 as Vivienne obtained a device called the Prism that allowed her to siphon magic for herself.

The sisters did everything in their power to stop her, but were they successful? Or, did they end up creating more problems for themselves? Let's be honest; we all know what the right answer is here.

If you are judging "Someone's Going to Die" as a conclusion to Charmed (2018) Season 2, then you would say that it was pretty epic and that the high stakes set by the writers paid off.

But if you are critiquing it as one of the first installments into Charmed (2018) Season 3, you...
