What will be your first movie of 2023? If you’re reading this it’s likely you put some (let’s be honest: too much) thought into what commences the cinematic year. The Criterion Channel’s January lineup will put some good things front and center: they’re launching a 20-film cinema verité series that highlights all major figures of the form; an eight-film Mike Leigh retrospective that focuses on his little-seen, lesser-discussed BBC features produced between 1973 and 1984; a series on Abbas Kiarostami’s studies of childhood; and because you’ve either seen Eo or have it marked to watch, Jerzy Skolimowski’s three most-acclaimed films should be of equal note.
Another 2022 favorite, Il Buco, will have its streaming premiere alongside Kamikaze Hearts, the Depardieu-led Cyrano de Bergerac, and the recent restoration of Lodge Kerrigan’s Keane.

’The Distant Barking of Dogs’ wins the audience prize.
Swedish director Hogir Hirori’s The Deminer has won the best Nordic documentary prize at Sweden’s Nordisk Panorama. It is the top award of the Malmo-based festival dedicated to documentaries and shorts and is worth $13,000.
The jury said it was “a film which displayed incredible risk taking in following a character who put his life on the line every day, also putting the filmmaker in great danger. This portrait of a military man who dedicated his life to protecting civilians is portrayed through a great combination of archive footage and daring front line filmmaking.

¨I would like to ask for cross-border access to the content and portability of the content, but it does not mean that we are wanting to destroy this principle of territoriality,¨ he explained.
¨It does not mean that after this reform there will only be pan-European licenses.

A guest post from Mico Tatalovic, in Locarno, Switzerland.
Strolling through the narrow streets of Locarno, a picturesque lake-side town surrounded by the Alps, on the way to screenings, one feels the buzz and quaintness that come with the festival’s prestige and location – but, perhaps unexpectedly, one also gets a lot of negative vibe that comes from what appear to be frequent hitches in the festival’s organisation.
It was during an over-long wait – packed like commuters in a long queue in a hallway without air conditioning – and in between the viewers’ booing and shouting ‘let us in’ in Italian, that I overheard a Us film distributor complaining about the poor selection of shorts here. She was in the same screening as me, seeing one of the ‘Pardi di domani’ (Leopards of tomorrow) screenings of talented upcoming directors’ short and medium-length films split...

Organisers of the Tribeca Film Festival have announced this year's line-up of 60 short films, 22 of which are world premieres.
The international festival was founded in 2002 by Robert De Niro, producer Jane Rosenthal and real-estate investor Craig Hatkoff to help revitalise Manhattan's Tribeca neighbourhood following the 9/11 terrorist attack.
The 2011 event - presented by founding sponsor American Express - will run from April 20 to May 1. The 60 shorts represent 21 countries, including the UK, and feature stars from around the globe.
In a new development this year, the recipient of the Tff Best Narrative Short award will qualify for consideration in the Short Films category of the Oscars without the standard theatrical run, provided the film otherwise complies with Academy rules.
The short film program, drawn from 2,862 submissions, will be presented in eight thematic programs, which are detailed below.
There is a broad spectrum of styles and storytelling, from zombies taking over Manhattan to the humanitarian effort in Haiti.
