Paweł Pawlikowski gives powerful and funny best director speech about cinema as resistance against homogenous thinking #cannes

In Cannes festival presenting two films from completely different worlds, yet frightening similarities. We first shot "Silence", about women&child soldiers in Congo DRC. Back in Sweden, a strange realization, Swedish child soldiers was an everyday reality and now our next film.

Pamir Platosu, “Dünyanın Çatısı” olarak bilinen ve Orta Asya’nın en etkileyici dağlık bölgelerinden biri olarak kabul edilen eşsiz bir coğrafya.

Durante un recital del pianista japonés Kei Chan, algo inesperado interrumpió el concierto: un teléfono empezó a sonar entre el público. Muchos se habrían molestado. Muchos habrían parado el concierto. Pero él hizo algo distinto. Escuchó el sonido… lo repitió… lo transformó… y en cuestión de segundos lo convirtió en música, improvisando una pieza tan hermosa, intensa y emocionante que terminó siendo una pequeña obra maestra. Es un recordatorio poderoso de algo que olvidamos a menudo: no podemos controlar todo lo que ocurre en la vida, pero sí podemos elegir cómo reaccionamos. A veces lo inesperado interrumpe nuestro ritmo. Y otras veces… si sabemos escucharlo, puede convertirse en parte de la melodía. Guarda este video para recordarlo cuando algo no salga como esperabas.🤍

Sátántangó (1994) runs 7.5 hours and pushes filmmaking to an extreme that feels impossible now. Béla Tarr staged unbroken takes in real locations. The film took 8 years to make, a pace and process no modern production system would ever allow.

Ikväll samlades några av Sveriges mest spännande entreprenörer på The Continental, Scandic. Sverige är Europas starkaste techland per capita – men konkurrensen hårdnar. USA, Asien och flera europeiska länder växlar upp. Vi har gjort det förr. Från Ericsson och SKF till Spotify och Klarna. Nu kommer nästa våg: AI. Vi är 4 % av Europas befolkning – men står för 17 % av unicorns. Talangen finns. Erfarenheten finns. Frågan är: skapar vi förutsättningarna – eller gör någon annan det? Låt oss se till att framtidens tech byggs i Sverige.

The opening scene from Pasolini’s “The Gospel According to St. Matthew” is breathtakingly beautiful. Perfection on film.

One of the most heart warming ending to a film ever!

Inception came out in 2006 for $4 million. Christopher Nolan's $160 million version arrived four years later. The original director died five weeks after Nolan's opened. His name was Satoshi Kon. The film was called Paprika. Same dream-sharing technology premise. Same Japanese businessman hiring the team. Same physics-defying hallways. Same elevator descending through layers of subconscious. Same dream architect character. Kon's entire production budget was less than what Warner Bros spent on Inception trailers. The marketing campaign alone was $100 million, 25x Paprika's full production cost. Paprika opened in two US theaters. Total overseas gross outside Japan: $944,915. Inception grossed $839 million worldwide and won four Oscars. International box office gap: roughly 890 to 1. Kon's crew of 50 at Madhouse worked from his hand-drawn storyboards. The dream parade, the warping corridor, the character who becomes the media they consumed too much of. 30 months from planning to completion with fewer people than a modern Pixar lighting department. The part nobody talks about: Kon was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in May 2010. Inception opened July 16. He died August 24. He was 46. He made four completed features in his entire career. Perfect Blue. Millennium Actress. Tokyo Godfathers. Paprika. His follow-up Dreaming Machine was shut down permanently because his team said no one else could finish it. Darren Aronofsky bought rights to Perfect Blue to recreate the bathtub scream shot in Requiem for a Dream. The bone structure of every serious dream-logic film made since 2000 traces back to four movies Kon finished in Tokyo on budgets Hollywood rounds off. The industry found the storyboards. They just never paid the storyboard artist.

50 years ago on March 22, 1976, Star Wars began filming in Tunisia. Among the shots captured were the first attempts at Luke Skywalker's view of the iconic twin sunset. Although that first day's sunset shots were not ultimately used, they marked the first live action plate photography ever captured for Industrial Light & Magic, who would be tasked with adding the suns to the background. ILM was less than a year old that spring of '76, and were busily preparing their visual effects pipeline at their Van Nuys, California studio. Read more here: starwars.com/news/star-wars-…

Someone needs to turn this into a mini-series immediately. It is the funniest thing that has been happened in years. With the right hand at the till, this could be a cinematic masterpiece.

In 1976 on Saturday Night Live, Joe Cocker performed as the musical guest when John Belushi suddenly appeared beside him. Belushi delivered his now-famous exaggerated impersonation, mimicking Cocker.
