The 6th edition of the El Gouna Film Festival (Gff) has wrapped with a feeling of quiet triumph. The glitz and celebrities were largely absent, although Egyptian star Yousra and legendary French actor Christophe Lambert both appeared at In Conversation events. But in a way, this allowed festival organizers to better focus on the core values which they wish to take forward.
For artistic director Marianne Khoury, the mission was clear, though the challenges were extraordinary, even before the horrific attacks on Israel on Oct. 7. “I joined in June, so it was quite a crazy summer where we’re working almost every day. Then on the 10th October, we decided to postpone. So it was very overwhelming. Since then, we were on hold every day. We wanted this edition to take place before the year end.”
Better late than never; better small than not at all

Dave Grohl appeared on latest episode of the Song Exploder podcast, where he discussed “The Teacher” from Foo Fighters’ latest album, But Here We Are. As Grohl explained in heart-wrenching detail, the 10-minute rock epic was written in tribute to his mother, Virginia Grohl, who passed away in July 2022.
“I was with her for all of the time leading up to her passing,” Grohl told Song Exploder host Hrishikesh Hirway. “Everyday during that period, I would write something on the guitar, because I felt that if I didn’t have that release, I would explode. I would spend the day at the hospital and then try to translate it musically — with no clear intention of what I was trying to achieve. I was finding these chords and progressions that mirrored the way that I felt.”
Having come up with two separate demos, Grohl then tried putting them together: “These two...

Jaane Jaan ended with a string of speculations and theories that could be spun to understand what could have happened that led to one of the leads admitting to the murder. This new Netflix Original by Sujoy Ghosh was bizarre, but it kind of left an aftertaste that is worth exploring, keeping in mind how exciting it is to approach the subject matter from a different angle.
Naren, aka ‘The Teacher,’ is one of the revered people living in Kalimpong. He’s a mathematical genius and a teacher who helps and encourages kids to see the subject from his perspective. There is nothing he loves more than mathematics. He was at a point of distress and contemplated suicide when he learned of another mathematician taking over and solving equations he had been working on. Not that it justifies an attempt to commit suicide, but it proves that Naren was used...
