Professional film curator and educator KJ Mohr returns to The Truth In This Art to talk about the Maryland Film Festival (MdFF) and Baltimore's indie film scene at the SNF Parkway!In the conversation we explore the 2025 Maryland Film Festival (MdFF)—what's new, including the amazing new website and Festival Journeys—what still matters, and how a festival can truly feel like home. As director of the Festival and year-round programming, KJ shares how listening to instinct and inviting many voices into the process shape a lineup that feels authentically Baltimore and true to independent film. A large, local screening committee helps build the program from the ground up, and the Parkway's communal vibe keeps people talking long after the credits roll. From indie film discoveries to community-centered conversations, MdFF 2025 champions Baltimore's film scene at the SNF Parkway.Festival Journeys: Four clear entry points—MdFF Pride (like I Was Born This Way), Black Voices (like Sun Ra: Do the Impossible and Kouté vwa), She/They (like Bay to Baltimore featuring ultramarathon open‑water swimmer and painter—and Truth in This Art alum—Katie Pumphrey), and WTF (like Fuck Toys)—to help audiences navigate with ease.CineTech: Free-with-registration demos and conversations highlighting gaming and interactive, choose‑your‑own‑adventure storytelling, expanding how audiences experience moving images and connect across creative communities.Student Films: Expanded to five days to make more room for student work, with student and local films threaded through most programs—spotlighting the next wave of filmmakers.Mission and SNF Parkway's future: A welcoming home base where films, filmmakers, and audiences connect—an inclusive, community‑rooted space that reflects Baltimore while linking to the wider film world.Join us at the SNF Parkway for a robust week of programming—screenings, shorts, conversations, and in‑the‑room moments—and, most of all, a chance to be in community with Baltimore's arts, film, and culture, and the independent film community that calls the SNF Parkway home. Explore the new website, pick a Journey, and come be part of it. Host: Rob LeeMusic: Original music by Daniel Alexis Music with additional music from Chipzard and TeTresSeis.

This episode is the perfect antidote to whatever you're feeling the day after election day… in today's episode, I sit down with two documentary filmmakers, Kahane Cooperman and Innbo Shim, to discuss their film, Creede USA.Creede is a small, remote mining town in Colorado that serves as a microcosm of differing political sides and debates that are happening more broadly in our country today.  The town consists of conservative mining families that have been there for generations, and more liberal, progressive theater people who come into town every summer for the past 60 years for their repertory theater company.  The documentary features many individuals and perspectives that live in this small town of 300, where residents are forced to confront each other's differing views.  The film covers the real-time school board meetings that are tackling some of the pressing political hot button debates and issues facing us today - from topics like guns in schools and gender identity curriculum. This film, and our conversation, explores how people can have vehemently opposing political views, YET still maintain respect for and civility toward one another, and in doing so have created a strong and thriving community in Creede. Creede USA is an amazing independent film… this story and the two amazing female filmmakers behind this story are truly inspirational. This is an episode you won't want to miss!Hosted by Ausha.

P1 Kultur är på plats på Stockholm filmfestival och fångar bland annat upp skådespelaren Fares Fares som spelar huvudrollen både i öppningsfilmen Eagles of the Republic och i den nya science fiction-serien Vi kommer i fred. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Vi reder även ut vilka filmer våra kritiker ser mest fram emot – och hur man egentligen ska bete sig inne i en biograf? Dessutom intervjuar vi regissören och jurymedlemmen Mikael Marcimain och får stifta bekantskap med den Guldpalmsbelönade franska regissören Julia Ducournau (”Titane”) som gästar festivalen med sin senaste film ”Alpha”. Och så tittar vi närmare på det tyska temat via regissören Mascha Schilinskis ”Sound of falling” – om fyra generationer kvinnor på en gård i östtyska Altmark som hemsöks av sitt förflutna. INTERVJU: FERNANDA TRÍAS OM VÅLDET I DEN LATINAMERIKANSKA LITTERTAURENUruguayanska Fernanda Trías blev internationellt känd med romanen Rosa Slajm (2022). Vår Latinamerikakorrespondent Lotten Collin har träffat Trías i Buenos Aires – för att prata om hennes nya roman, om våldet som präglar den samtida latinamerikanska litteraturen – och om den obestämbara faran som hela tiden lurar i hennes romaner.JACKIE COLLINS PÅ SCEN – BARBIEDOCKORNA SEXAR LOSS Det har varit nypremiär av Malmö dockteaters uppsättning ”The World is full of Married Men”, nu på Kulturhuset Stadsteatern i Stockholm. Föreställningen är baserad på Jackie Collins debutoman från 1968 – en av urkunderna för ”tantsnusket” – och i rollerna ser vi barbiedockor. Vår teaterkritiker Jenny Teleman var där – och kastades tillbaka i tiden.ESSÄ: SEDENBORGS LUSTHUS – ETT KANSLIHUS FÖR UNIVERSUMEmanuel Swedenborg – född Swedberg 1688 och död 1772 – hör till Sveriges få superstjärnor på den intellektuella världsarenan och hans "Drömbok" tog plats i den kulturkanon som presenterades tidigare i år. Han inledde sin bana som naturvetare och ingenjör, men avslutade den som profet. Författaren Anna Ringberg tar med oss till platsen där himmel och jord en gång möttes.Programledare: Lisa BergströmProducent: Henrik Arvidsson

Laura makes her glamorous (and slightly awkward) red carpet debut at the San Diego Film Festival, and it's everything you'd hope for—glitz, chaos, and a few unexpected celeb moments. Which star was totally down-to-earth and cool? Which huge name completely dissed her? From dazzling gowns to near disasters with the mic, Laura's first red carpet experience is pure comedy gold. Then Erik takes over with an epic Double D Showbiz Report—spilling the latest J-Lo drama, dishing on the A-lister who literally eats out of the trash, and dropping a few fresh movie reviews you'll want to hear before hitting the theater. Fun times, wild laughs, and a little Hollywood sparkle—thanks for catching us every week. We love you for it!

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comIn this deeply human and revealing episode of Faithful Politics, hosts Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram sit down with Noelle Cook, ethnographer, filmmaker, and author of The Conspiracists: Women, Extremism and the Lure of Belonging. Cook's award-winning documentary and forthcoming book explore how ordinary women become entangled in conspiracy movements—from QAnon to spiritualized extremism—while searching for meaning, identity, and community.Cook recounts how the January 6th insurrection inspired her to study women drawn into these spaces and what she discovered: that many were mothers, caregivers, and former churchgoers who turned to online conspiracies to fill the void of belonging. Through intimate storytelling, she shares her road trip with two women convicted for their roles in January 6th, revealing how trauma, faith, and hope intertwine in the psychology of belief.Together, the hosts and Cook unpack questions of empathy, extremism, and how conspiratorial thinking becomes a kind of spiritual coping mechanism in a fractured America. The conversation explores what churches, communities, and even families can learn from these stories about the human desire for connection—and the danger of mistaking belonging for truth.Learn more: https://www.noellecook.com/aboutGuest Bio:Noelle Cook is an ethnographer and filmmaker whose work examines the intersections of gender, conspiracy, and extremism.
