Min 5: “BETTER MAN”: el primer sorpresón de 2025 Ni “Heretic”, ni “Queer”, ni “Vivie el momento”, el título sorpresa que ha dejado locos a nuestros críticos en el arranque del año ha sido “Better Man”. Esta suerte de biopic de Robbie Williams dirigido por Michael Gracey convierte a la estrella pop británica en un chimpancé sin límites. Albertop Luchini y Raquel Hernández nos desvelan qué tiene de especial "Better Man" para cruzar la líunea del biopic musical y convertirse en el mejor estreno del inicio de 2025. CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 4 ESTRELLAS Min 10: LA PELI DE LAS NAVIDADES ¿"Mufasa"? ¿"Sonic 3"? ¿"Vaiana 2"? "¿"Cónclave"? ¿"Nosferatu"? ¿"Heretic"? El equipo del Filtro Luchini mete en la coctelera los resultados en taquilla y la calidad cinematográfica para elegir cuál ha sido la película de las Navidades 24/25. ¿Coincidirá con tu favorita? Min 13: A REAL PAIN: El Globo de Oro de Kieran Culkin El debú en la dirección de Jesse Eisenberg (La red social, Café Society) le ha supuesto al efervescente Kieran Culkin (Succession) el Globo de OPro al mejor actor de reparto. Una película sencilla pero emotiva que sigue la historia de dos primos que viajan a Polonia para revivir la historia de su abuela fallecida y el recuerdo del holocausto nazi. CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 3'5 estrellas Min 19: CIUDAD DE ASFALTO: Sean Penn en modo salvavidas Un joven paramédico llamado Ollie Cross (Tye Sheridan) decide asociarse en su primer año de trabajo con un médico con experiencia llamado Rutkovsky (Sean Peann) El mayor de ambos mostrará al joven aprendiz lo que ocurre en las calles de Nueva York y la dureza de la realidad será tal que tendrá que aprender a soportarla. Una apuesta demasiado cruda de Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire que ha dejado fría a Raquel Hernández pese al eficaz papel de Penn. CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 3 estrellas Min 24: LAS VIDAS DE SING SING: El Teatro como terapia real Divine G, (Colman Domingo) un hombre injustamente condenado por un crimen que no cometió, se encuentra recluido en el temido centro penitenciario de máxima seguridad de Sing Sing, donde la esperanza parece haberse desvanecido para la mayoría de los prisioneros. Sin embargo, en medio de la desesperanza y la rutina diaria de su encarcelamiento, Divine G descubre una fuente de redención y un propósito en un lugar inesperado: un taller de teatro. La película dirigida por Greg Kwedar está basada en hechos reales, cuenta con umno de los auténtricos protagonistas de la historia y se convierte en una de nuestras recomendaciones de la semana. CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 3'5 estrellas Min 28: EL OTRO CINE ESPAÑOL Dos películas pequeñas e intimistas cargadas de feminidad se cuelan en el cajón de cine club de la nueva cartelera. Aitor Echevarría dirige a Emma Suárez y a Natalia de Molina en "Desmontando un elefante" (2,5 estrellas) y Marta Nieto debuta en la dirección con "La Mitad de Ana" (2,5 estrellas) Min 34. CERTEZAS Y SORPRESAS EN LOS GLOBOS DE ORO "Emilia Pérez", el narcomusical franco latino que se ha convertido en una de las pelis favoritas de Alberto Luchini dio la sorpresa en unos Globos de Oro que aninam a pensar en una imprevisible Gala de los Oscar. Encantados con el premio a Demi Moore por "La sustancia". Min 40: ESPECIAL BSO CÓNCLAVE o el equilibrio perfecto entre cine y música Lo que han hecho Edward Berger desde la dirección y Volker Bertelmann desde la composición en 'Cónclave' es un ejemplo enciclopédico de cómo se debe sacar partido a una excelenbte banda sonora en una gran película. Ángel Luque se propone hacernos disfrutar de temas que habría aplaudido el gran maestro de la cuerda y el suspense, el mismísimo Bernard Hermmann.

The accused: her wildly handsome, devastatingly charming husband, Wayne, a fortune hunter whose lurid alibi shocks even New York's toughest police officers and tabloid reporters. The murder and subsequent trial were the media sensation of 1943 and '44, played out against the cafe-society backdrop of the Stork Club and El Morocco. Let's investigate!

We all know Betty White from her years on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Golden Girls. But decades before she was making us laugh in primetime, White was hosting a daytime TV talk show that saw her improvising more than five hours of programming every day. Yep, she’s not only one of our most beloved funny ladies, she’s also a TV pioneer. She is one of the superstars from the era When Women Invented Television, as Pop Literacy co-host Jennifer Keishin Armstrong chronicles in her fantastic new book of the same name. From White and Gertrude Berg, the radio star who brought her long-running radio comedy The Goldbergs to television, to Hazel Scott, the singer and piano player who was also the first Black entertainer to host a national variety TV show, and Irna Phillips, another radio alum, who created the television soap opera, there’s a lineup of women who truly set up the future of TV. This week, Jennifer shares not only the fascinating details of how these extraordinary women shaped the medium that helps shape our culture more than ever, but the sad forces that prevented most of them from being the household names they should be. Until now, that is, thanks to When Women Invented Television.  Resource links: When Women Invented Television Here We Go Again by Betty White The Betty White Show Hazel Scott: The Pioneering Journey of a Jazz Pianist, from Café Society to Hollywood to HUAC by Karen Chilton Hazel Scott at the piano Irna Phillips's The Guiding Light, 1953 Something on My Own, a Gertrude Berg biography by Glenn D.

Kveldens foredragsholder har i en årrekke forsket på ulike former for fellesskap og hvordan hverdagslig teknologibruk bidrar til å endre disse formene. Hans perspektiv på fellesskap inkluderer interaksjon, kommunikasjon og identifikasjon, og han stiller spørsmål om hvordan slike aspekter er i endring i dagens samfunn. Han vil også lansere forslag til hvordan vi alle kan ta vare på og videreutvikle både analoge og digitale fellesskap. Aksel Tjora er professor i sosiologi ved NTNU. Hans forskning er rettet mot randsonene mellom kunnskap og ansvar, mellom privat og offentlig, mellom syk og frisk, mellom fellesskap og ensomhet, mellom kreativitet og teknologi. Han er eier og stifter av «Sosiologisk poliklinikk», som driver praktisk og utadrettet arbeid. Ett av hans interesseområder er musikk; han er selv perkusjonist og spiller i flere band, med flere plateutgivelser. Fra forfatterskapet kan nevnes Festival!

LOTL The Comfort Zone  Welcomes , Soulful Jazz Vocalist CHARENEE WADE. Releases Her Interpretation of The Revolutionary Music of Gil Scott-Heron  & Brian Jackson ..Offering: The Music of Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson . Charenee Wade is not one to hold back or let fear stand in her way. The first artist ever to enter two Thelonious Monk Vocal competitions, she walked away from the second one in 2010 with instant buzz and second place to her new friend Cecilé McLorin Salvant. Now is the time for Wade's star to rise. Known for expert vocal improvisational ability and her seriously swinging groove, Wade evokes a classic jazz sound akin to Betty Carter and Sarah Vaughan, two of her musical touchstones. With her Motéma debut, Offering: The Music of Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson (June 23), she pays tribute to another inspiration, the socially conscious poet and musician Gil Scott-Heron, and confirms that she too plans to use her artist platform thoughtfully. The first full-length album tribute to Scott-Heron and his musical collaborator Brian Jackson by a woman artist, Offering is arresting in just how timely Scott-Heron's messages are today and how perfectly Wade delivers them through her savvy arrangements and intimate jazz interpretations. While she has earned many accolades – first runner-up in New York's Jazzmobile Vocal competition; a participant in Betty Carter's Jazz Ahead program; a feature on NPR's Song Travels; a starring role in the off-Broadway show Café Society and in Jazz at Lincoln Center's Salute to Betty Carter – she may surprise people with this authentic tour de force. Wade embodies Scott-Heron's poems deeply and with a pathos that belies her age.
