Toronto (Canada) (AFP) - More than 18 months into Russia's invasion of Ukraine, documentary filmmakers who screened their latest work on the conflict at the Toronto film festival say it is more important than ever to keep the crisis in the public consciousness. Oscar-nominated Egyptian director Karim Amer debuted his "Defiant," which tells the story of the first year of the war from the perspective of Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and other top Ukrainian officials. Polish filmmaker Maciek Hamela meanwhile took a different approach with "In the Rearview," filming his own perilous road journeys...

Toronto (Canada) (AFP) - Hollywood's major studios and streamers have made no contract overtures to striking actors since they walked off the job in July, the performers' chief negotiator said Thursday, urging the companies to make a good-faith effort.

Toronto (Canada) (AFP) - Viola Davis said the future of big-budget Black female filmmaking in Hollywood is at stake as her ground-breaking African warrior epic "The Woman King" hits theaters this weekend. The Oscar-winning actress told AFP Wednesday she feels intense pressure and conflicting emotions, because she knows the movie's performance will be judged in a way that films with white directors and casts are not. "First of all, the movie has to make money. And I feel conflicted about that -- that we sort of have one or two chances," she said. "If it doesn't make money then what it means ove...

The Oscar-winning "Silver Linings Playbook" star, 32, whose fame had rocketed ever since the wildly popular "The Hunger Games" movies, had been a near-ubiquitous presence with a prolific run of movies, before announcing a pause because "everybody had gotten sick of me." But when she read a script for "Causeway" -- then entitled "Red, White, and Water" -- something ...

Toronto (Canada) (AFP) - Steven Spielberg finally turned the camera on his own childhood -- from his parents' troubled marriage to anti-Semitic bullying -- as his new movie "The Fabelmans" received its world premiere on a star-studded Saturday at the Toronto film festival. Considered one of Hollywood's greatest living directors, with classics from "Jaws" to "E.T.", Spielberg told a rapturous audience how he had long wanted to make such a deeply personal movie, but had eventually been motivated by the "fear" of the pandemic. "I don't think anybody knew in March or April of 2020 what was going t...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Steven Spielberg, Jennifer Lawrence and Harry Styles will bring their world premieres to Toronto, as North America's largest film festival signaled a return to full strength with the unveiling of a star-studded lineup Thursday.
