If Criterion24/7 hasn’t completely colonized your attention every time you open the Channel––this is to say: if you’re stronger than me––their May lineup may be of interest. First and foremost I’m happy to see a Michael Roemer triple-feature: his superlative Nothing But a Man, arriving in a Criterion Edition, and the recently rediscovered The Plot Against Harry and Vengeance is Mine, three distinct features that suggest a long-lost voice of American movies. Meanwhile, Nobuhiko Obayashi’s Antiwar Trilogy four by Sara Driver, and a wide collection from Ayoka Chenzira fill out the auteurist sets.
Series-wise, a highlight of 1999 goes beyond the well-established canon with films like Trick and Bye Bye Africa, while of course including Sofia Coppola, Michael Mann, Scorsese, and Claire Denis. Films starring Shirley Maclaine, a study of 1960s paranoia, and Columbia’s “golden era” (read: 1950-1961) are curated; meanwhile, The Breaking Ice,...

As various critics groups and awards bodies dole out their top films of the year, it can be hard to parse which ones are actually worth paying attention to. Following our top 50 films of 2023, one such list has arrived today with Film Comment’s annual end-of-year survey. Revealed at a special live talk last night, Todd Haynes’s May December, Kelly Reichardt’s Showing Up, and Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon grabbed the top three spots, while Eduardo Williams’s The Human Surge 3, Lisandro Alonso’s Eureka, and Víctor Erice’s Close Your Eyes topped the best undistributed films.
“It speaks to the ongoing vitality of cinema as an art form, as well as the discernment of our critics in the year of ‘Barbenheimer,’ that this year’s top films represent some of the most boundary-pushing, complex movies of recent times—three new classics from contemporary masters,...

On the festival’s opening night, a group of activists took to the stage holding a banner that read “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”; on November 10, IDFA published a statement apologizing to patrons who may have been offended by this “hurtful slogan.” On November 11, the Pfi and the advocacy group Workers for Palestine Netherlands announced their withdrawal from IDFA: “As the world’s largest documentary film festival, IDFA holds the responsibility to respond to the plight of journalists and documentarians on the ground in Gaza,...

A lifelong enemy of state censorship, Mehrjui helped kick off the Iranian New Wave with his second feature, The Cow (1969), which was denied an export permit when it was originally completed. “Despite the fact that the film was funded by the Ministry of Culture and Arts, the Pahlavi regime preferred not to have the film’s portrayal of rural Iranian village life color the nation’s desired image of modernity on the world stage,...

Filmmaker Miko Revereza closes the door on sharing memories as an undocumented immigrant with Nowhere Near, an extension of his multi-film project exploring his strained relationship with the country where he was raised and to which he can’t return without facing legal repercussions. Though his past films and their titles allude to his traces on Earth––like the government’s surveillance of his phone in his travelogue feature debut No Data Plan (2019) and the significant years of his family’s life in the short Disintegration 93-96 (2018)––Revereza (who currently lives in Mexico) recently told Reverse Shot that the film industry is “at a moment of exhaustion” with inclusion. He also cogitated on “who [has the authorship to] make a certain film? … Does that mean the burden is on excluded populations to show their burden?”
Nowhere Near is the years-long apex of Revereza’s personal, diaristic oeuvre of his family’s intricate path to the U.

After living undocumented in the US for 26 years, in Nowhere Near (2023), director Miko Revereza journeys back to the Philippines in an attempt to trace the source of the colonial ghosts causing his parents’ amnesia. Through an abstract odyssey into personal history à la Chris Marker’s Sans Soleil, Revereza works in a range of mediums to express the borderless aesthetic of statelessness. What results is an investigative documentary layered with the narration of his own novel, floating into the mysteries of psychogeographical disconnect with superimposed images and submerged family portraits. On the day of the film’s US premiere, Revereza […]

Introducing his third feature, Nowhere Near, Miko Revereza said that his first, the train travelogue No Data Plan, was shot in three days and edited in about a month, fooling him into thinking every movie would be as easy. Instead, Nowhere Near took seven years and five or six entirely different cuts to compose itself. Similarly contemplating a mountain of longitudinally acquired footage, Chris Wilcha’s Flipside is assembled from work shot over nearly three decades. Their approaches and intentions are entirely different, but the two films work well together.

Between a few features and multiple shorts, Filipino-American director Miko Revereza has made a mission of injecting experimental, personal cinema with the politics of migration. Distancing (2019) found poetry in the logistics of leaving the US for the Philippines, Biometrics (2019) featured only Revereza’s fingerprints on 16mm leader film to echo his experiences of being fingerprinted by Daca (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) and No Data Plan (2019) was filmed across a train journey from LA to New York, a mode of transportation often targeted for random Ice (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) inspections because of its use by undocumented migrants.
Nowhere Near doesn't upend Revereza's area of interest, but finds some new ways to mine the personal, political and historical. Taken as a whole, its self-reflexive, freewheeling, glimpsing form doesn’t seem to carry any grand, overarching aim, but along the way, Revereza offers plenty of nuggets to chew on.

A 4K uncut restoration of Chen Kaige’s 1993 Palme d’Or winner “Farewell My Concubine” is a highlight of the Toronto International Film Festival’s (TIFF) Classics strand while Jean-Luc Godard’s last film will feature in Wavelengths.
The Classics strand also includes Canadian producer-director Brigitte Berman’s Oscar-winning feature documentary “Artie Shaw: Time Is All You’ve Got” (1985), portraying the life of the clarinettist and bandleader, and, after decades of oblivion Jacques Rivette’s New Wave classic “L’amour fou” (1969), whose original celluloid elements were damaged in a fire. A 50th anniversary screening of “Touki Bouki” (1973), from Sengal’s Djibril Diop Mambéty and Ousmane Sembène’s “Xala” (1975), presented in 4K, complete the program. Classics is curated by Robyn Citizen, director of programming and platform lead, with contributions from Andréa Picard.

The Toronto International Film Festival has added an additional 17 films to its 2023 lineup, with the new entries the work of a variety of bold international directors, from Radu Jude and Kleber Mendonca Filho to the late Jean-Luc Godard and Chantal Akerman.
The Wavelength section contains 12 features, two films paired in a single program and 19 shorts grouped in three separate programs. It is devoted to “artist-driven experimental films,” in the words of TIFF Chief Programming Officer Anita Lee. “Wavelengths continues to be a celebration of subversion, personal expression, and the vast, inexhaustible capabilities of cinema to enlighten, inspire, awe, resist, disrupt, and propose new ways of seeing and being in the world.”
Films in the section include “Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World” from the fiery Romanian satirist Radu Jude, “Here” from Belgian director Bas Devos,” the “Oedipus” retelling “Music” from Angela Schanelec, Brazilian Kleber Mendonca...

The Locarno Film Festival is reinventing itself due to the coronavirus crisis by launching a plan B called Locarno 2020 — For the Future of Films, its core philosophy being to support global indie film directors hard hit by the pandemic as they toiled to bring their projects to the big screen.
“In April we were looking at a lot of different scenarios of what the festival could be,” says Lili Hinstin, artistic director of the Swiss event held in a lakeside town under the Alps in the Italian-speaking portion of Switzerland. Fest has long been a top notch haven for global auteurs. But the Swiss government didn’t want to take any chances with a physical edition Aug. 5-15.

Like most film festivals this year, Locarno Film Festival will not be moving ahead as usual.

After announcing a new initiative to support new films by Lucrecia Martel, Lisandro Alonso, Lav Diaz, Wang Bing, Miguel Gomes, and more, they’ve asked this class of talented directors to select their favorite films in Locarno history.

Locarno Film Festival will not be going ahead as usual this year, but the festival is still aiming to support filmmakers from around the world whose projects were halted due to the pandemic. They’ve unveiled The Films After Tomorrow, an initiative featuring twenty full-length works in progress from some of the top filmmakers working today, including Lucrecia Martel, Lisandro Alonso, Lav Diaz, Wang Bing, and Miguel Gomes.
Selected from 545 submissions, the resulting 20 films will screen for juries, who will then award prizes to help with the completion of the respective winners. While these films understandably won’t be screening publicly yet, it’s great to get additional details on some of our most-anticipated upcoming films, as one can see in the synopses below. Hopefully by next year we’ll see many of these pop up on the festival circuit.

New works by prominent auteurs Lucrecia Martel, Lav Diaz, Lisandro Alonso and Wang Bing grace the lineup of works-in-progress unveiled by the Locarno Film Festival.
The canceled Swiss fest dedicated to indie cinema on Thursday announced 20 titles that made the cut for its innovative The Films After Tomorrow initiative that will provide support to filmmakers forced to stop working due to the global pandemic. Of these, 10 are international and 10 from Switzerland. Prizes will be awarded by juries made up by still unspecified filmmakers on Aug. 15.
“Our role is to act as a link between films, the industry and audiences, and so (when Locarno was canceled due to coronavirus concerns) we looked at alternative ways of carrying out that mission, assessing where our intervention could be most useful at this time,” said Locarno artistic director Lili Hinstin at a Zoom presentation during the Cannes Virtual Market. A total of 545 projects from 101 countries were submitted,...

Two feature film projects and three documentaries are to receive grant funding from the Bangkok-based Purin Pictures fund. Unusually, the fund made no post-production disbursements.
Receiving $15,000 each, the three features are: Indonesian director Mouly Surya’s “This City Is A Battlefield”; and The Maw Naing’s “The Women,” a Myanmar-set drama about a female protest movement.
Collecting $15,000 each, the documentaries are Singapore director Chan Sze Wai’s “I Am Walking”; Miko Revereza’s experimental documentary “Nowhere Near,” about a film director returning to his native Philippines; and “A Man Like Me,” a portrait of writer Yeng Pway Ngon, directed by Singapore’s Jiekai Liao.
“If there was a common theme we saw across many of the applications, it was the struggle of the marginalized against the mainstream and the exploited against the powerful. It’s interesting how the effects of widening inequality in many Southeast Asian countries is finding its way into our films,...

Get in touch to send in cinephile news and discoveries. For daily updates follow us @NotebookMUBI.NEWSWe're saddened to hear that Anna Karina, one of the defining figures of the French New Wave, has died. Though primarily remembered as the muse of Jean-Luc Godard, Karina was a remarkable actor, writer, and filmmaker in her own right. Justin Chang of the L.A. Times recalls her toughness and charm as seen throughout her expansive career. Courtesy of Josh Martin, the Chinese Film Bureau has shared a promising updated on the long gestating anthology film Seven-Person Band (previously titled Eight & a Half). The omnibus film is produced by Johnnie To, and features "some of Hong Kong's most renowned directors," including the late Ringo Lam. Alex Ross Perry is set to adapt Stephen King's 1989 novel The Dark Half, which follows an author whose literary alter ego comes to life with grisly intentions.

At Saturday’s star-studded gala awards ceremony, San Diego Asian Film Festival (Sdaff) announced the winning filmmakers and celebrities from this year’s festival. Hosted by actors Leonardo Nam and Tamilyn Tomita, the awards celebrated the best in Asian and Asian American cinema from the past year. Winner of Best Feature Narrative Andrew Ahn received his 3rd Sdaff award in the last decade. More than 500 people attended and raised money towards Pacific Arts Movement’s youth filmmaking program, Reel Voices.

DistancingEvery year the New York Film Festival's Projections sidebar challenges, expands and redefines the potential of what cinema can be, not to mention questioning what it actually is, through a robust selection of moving image works that wander or skirt around the edges of narrative film into territories where documentary, experimental fiction, and the so-called avant-garde coalesce into a shifting mass whose borders are constantly changing. This year’s edition was no exception, and while this was evident in its program of features—some of which have already been extensively written about in this publication—it was in its selection of shorts where this too was on view. To loosely continue the metaphor above of films that drift around peripheries, Distancing, by Miko Revereza, is a postscript to his recent medium length travelogue No Data Plan (2019), wherein he single-handedly documented his three-day journey from Los Angeles to New York aboard an Amtrak train.

Miko Revereza’s ’Nowhere Near’ wins pitching event.
The London-based Open City Documentary Festival has named the first winner of its £10,000 Assembly development lab, which was launched in February this year.
The winning pitch was Miko Revereza’s Nowhere Near, a personal story about the filmmaker’s return home to Manila. After 26 years, their decision to reconnect with an estranged homeland comes at the price of exile from the country they grew up in, the Us.

No Data PlanHaving premiered his most recent work at international festivals including Rotterdam, Locarno, and the Sheffield Documentary Festival, Filipino-American filmmaker Miko Revereza’s Open City Documentary Festival screening will be his first appearance at a festival outside the U.S. border. As of two weeks ago he left the States for Manila, a decision than enacted a personal exile or ban from the country, from his and his family’s home for the past twenty-six years. This now grants him the freedom to present his films and attend the Ocdf Assembly development lab, where Revereza will begin work on his second feature Nowhere Near. An exciting new filmmaker to follow, Revereza puts into practice the thesis that the production of the moving image is only made possible by exercising the right to freedom of movement. Nowhere Near will be the first film he has made having crossed the U.

No Data PlanLincoln Center’s Art of the Real festival has returned for its sixth edition, showcasing new works of independent cinema that expand and destabilize inherited definitions of documentary and fiction by fruitfully obscuring the line between those two seemingly opposite forms. Surveying the border where non-fiction seamlessly fades into fiction and vice versa, it is a festival that celebrates a kind of cinema that exists largely on the periphery of what is accepted as documentary, exhibiting films that explore their own hybridity, while still engaging with content that is at once personal and very much tethered to the real world. Take, for example, Filipino filmmaker Miko Revereza’s travelogue No Data Plan, a film modest in scale—Revereza essentially covers all production roles—yet one that is able to summon forth a network of associations and ideas that touch both on the present moment and reach into a relentless past.

Camera Threat“Don’t try to hold onto the wave that’s breaking against your foot. So long as you stand in the stream, fresh waves will always keep breaking against it.”—Widow Begbick in Bertolt Brecht’s ‘Man Equals Man’A preface for the unfamiliar. Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival is a small, strange and very special film festival situated in the northernmost place in England, the quite lovely Berwick-upon-Tweed, a small, much contested coastal town on the Scottish border that is home to a set of impressive defensive walls, Britain’s earliest barracks building, some nice pubs and a few good fish and chip shops that close at 5pm. Inaugurated in 2005, the town’s film festival—a five day affair that consists of a mixture of short films and features exhibited in the town’s single cinema, performances elsewhere, and installations placed in historic sites along the town...
