"Let's just say I wanted to make a liberated film. I felt like...am I allowed to say 'f*** it?' Like, 'f*** it.'" So says legendary indie filmmaker Ira Sachs about PASSAGES, his seriously sexy Sundance hit about an insatiable artist in a messy modern love triangle.In this special episode, Sachs tells host Rico Gagliano how his all-star cast (Ben Whishaw, Franz Rogowski, and Adele Exarchopoulos) liberated their characters, and why he and Hollywood are on the outs.PASSAGES opens in theaters on August 4 in New York and Los Angeles and arrives in cities nationwide throughout August. Coming soon to theaters in more countries as well, including Canada, the UK, Ireland, Germany, LATAM, and more.

Filmmaker Joanna Arnow's shorts and docs are funny, fearless looks at people at their most excruciatingly vulnerable — especially herself.  In her debut feature, she ratchets up the deadpan humor to tell the story of a woman navigating the alternately mundane and surreal worlds of work, family… and BDSM relationships. Arnow sits down with host Rico Gagliano to talk about her characters' crossed wires, why pouring soup is funny, and what happens when you cast your parents as themselves.Every May, the population of sleepy Cannes, France triples — as film pros and cinephiles from around the globe convene for the two-week movie-thon called the Cannes Film Festival.  For the fourth season of the MUBI Podcast, we sent host Rico Gagliano into the eye of this celluloid storm, accompanied by an intrepid camera crew, to grab interviews with a cross-section of filmmakers who made Cannes 2023 one of the most celebrated in years. Guests include legendary director Wim Wenders, perennial Cannes favorites Kleber Mendonca Filho and Monia Chokri, and a slew of new filmmakers destined to be world cinema's next wave — from Belgian hip-hopper-turned-auteur Baloji to New York's wry boundary-smasher Joanna Arnow.

If you've never heard of Barbara Loden's Wanda (1970), Cinphomaniac is here this week to correct that. Marcus and Dana throughly dissect this once forgotten masterpiece of early American Independent Cinema - the one and only feature film its mesmerizing star, Barbara Loden, ever would direct in her all too brief life. They discuss Loden's incredibly nuanced and detailed performance as the title character, as well as its level of immense specificity in every other aspect, with its emphasis on naturalism, transgression, power, and class. Also discussed is the rich legacy of the type of complex female driven stories that Wanda would herald, from filmmakers like Andrea Arnold, Jane Campion, and Chloe Zhao, as well as the eye opening TV appearance Loden made to promote the film on The Dick Cavett Show. Don't miss this one!

Today's show features a conversation with Ian Garwood, senior lecturer in Film & Television Studies at the University of Glasgow, and one of the leading practitioners of the academic audiovisual essay. We discuss Ian's background, his creative process, Cary Grant, the role of voiceover in AV criticism, and his award-winning audiovisual monograph, Indy Vinyl: Records in American Independent Cinema: 1987 to 2019. Will and Ian also discuss "My Mulholland," a video essay by Jessica McGoff. Support the podcast on Patreon. Follow the show on Twitter. Learn more at the pod's website.

In this episode we have come to an interesting crossroads in the early career trajectory of our Director. The Underneath is the film that nearly burned Soderbergh out and Schizopolis is the film that made him fall in love with filmmaking all over again.

Moments. Eine Geschichte der Performance in 10 Akten | Artist Talk Exhibition 08.03.2012 – 29.04.2012 Since she was created in 1972 by Lynn Hershman Leeson, the figure Roberta Breitmore moves and reproduces herself much like the ghostly double of the artist through the various realities and media formats. One could say Roberta Breitmore, performs media realities: she appears in films or in reality at vernissages, meets with men on dates, materializes in three-fold form, wanders onto the Golden Gate Bridge like on a film still of the American Independent Cinema, or becomes a victim of exorcist ritual. Roberta is a comic heroine; it is possible to communicate with her in cyberspace through the interface of a puppet which has her features and meet her in the virtual world of the “second life”. Her dress, her glasses, a wig are traces of this existence. Roberta owns an insurance card and is congratulated by the President of America on her virtual birthday. The media documentation of Roberta’s performance, which will be exhibited in Moments, are at the same time evidence of the most various formats in which a performance can represent itself: from Vintage Print, original photography, exhibition copy, poster or an advertisement, film, video, eye-witness account and art criticism etc. through to the copy of a film from the Internet on a Home-Printer. Lynn Hershman Leeson will develop this process of media duplication of the documents herself during her stay in Karlsruhe. Short Biography Since Lynn Hershman Leeson (*1941 in Cleveland Ohio, USA) began her career in the late 1960s as award-winning American media artist and filmmaker, she has received wide recognition for a body of work combining art with social commentary, particularly with regard to the relationship between humans and technology. A pioneer in New Media, she has been internationally acclaimed for her use of new technologies and her early investigations of issues such as identity in a time of consumerism, privacy in an era of surveillance, interfacing of humans and machines, and the relationship between real and virtual worlds. Hershman Leeson was awarded the ZKM Siemens Media Art Price in 1995 and the d.velop digital art award in 2010. Her work is, among others, in the collections of the MoMA in New York, the Tate Modern in London, the ZKM | Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe and the Hess Art Collection. A major exhibition of her work will be presented at the Kunsthalle Bremen, in 2012.
