New York-based French artist Prune Nourry reveals a great deal in her documentary feature debut Serendipity, which made its world premiere in the Panorama Dokumente section of Berlinale 2019. She does not shy away from exposing herself to the camera, her battle with breast cancer in and out of the hospital. For those familiar with her artwork and performance art, this will not be much of a shock b...

The word "tiburon" comes from the Carib Indian dialect for shark and was adopted by the Spaniards since their earliest explorations of the Americas. Punta de Tiburon (or "point of sharks") as it was originally called, first appeared on maps of the San Francisco Bay in 1776. It's a well-earned name considering the number of sharks that roam the shallow waters of the peninsula that forms the town.
Abundance has always been associated with th...
In front of a full house yesterday, anti-Mafia author Roberto Saviano brought the 17th edition of Berlinale Talents to a successful close.

The first scene was the moment from Stardust Memories when Woody Allen's director character approaches Rampling's chara...

The press conference for Joanna Hogg's The Souvenir, a wonderfully nostalgic look at the life of Julie (Honor Swinton Burke), a young female film student in early 80s England, was quite revealing.

There were even people waiting outside the theater, hoping to score some last-minute tickets. In the row behidn me I could even occasionally hear a German father translating the dialogue for his teenage daughter. That...

By LINDSAY R. BELLINGER
Agnieszka Holland's newest film Mr. Jones, written by Andrea Chalupa based off of her novel, is a wonderful piece of cinema and a history lesson all rolled up in one. Actors James Norton and Peter Sarsgaard admit that neither of them were aware of Gareth Jones and the truths that he exposed about the widespread famine in the Soviet Union in the 1930s. Norton portrays the Welsh journal...
