“The Killing Cell” is an awesome found footage film that's been tearing up the festival circuit with awards and nominations! Writer/director/producer and actor Karsen Schovajsa and his crew pulled together a nostalgic horror flick that captures the same eerie energy as “Hell House LLC” and “Grave Encounters.” I was lucky enough to check out a screener, absolutely loved it, and had to bring Karsen onto the podcast to talk all about the making of this soon-to-be cult hit!

Elise McLeod is a film director and acting coach who has called France home for over 30 years. After travelling there as an exchange student in her high school years, Elise made a decision: once she knew what she wanted to do with her life, she was going to return to Paris to live it there!Elise has a film Reclaim the Night in competition this week (on 6 June) in the St Kilda Film Festival. The film is set in Paris telling the fictional story of two best friends, one had the best night of her life and one experienced the worst. Reclaim the Night was originally a movement that started in the UK in the 1970s, protesting about safety for women. Elise also has another film she made in the late 1990s, Last Drinks which is playing this Friday night (5 June) at The Astor Theatre in St Kilda, Melbourne. Last drinks is a doco telling the story of the 90s closure of the iconic Prince of Wales Hotel in St Kilda, a landmark many Melbourne people will know of.Elise and I have been to the Cannes Film Festival together and this chat gives us a little insight into the amount of work that goes into her industry. To escape the busy-ness of her professional world, Elise and her husband Charles have bought a rundown property in the Burgundy region of France. They have now renovated and soon will open for guests to stay, also transforming a huge old shed into a party room, a salle de fête. Elise and I chatted about finding brocantes, connecting with nature in Bourgogne, taking the back roads through France as well as our fave regions and the wonderful quirkiness of those pockets of the French countryside.So pour a cuppa, or a glass of something French and close your eyes as you sit back and escape to France with us, to hear all about Elise's beautiful French life.**Louise Prichard is the host of the Loulabelle's FrancoFiles podcast.**Other Loulabelle's links:FrancoFile Fix on YouTubeLoulabelle's FrancoFiles Spotify Playlist Loulabelle's FrancoFiles InstagramLoulabelle's FrancoFiles website

Alankrita Shrivastava — the writer, director, and creator behind Lipstick Under My Burkha, Bombay Begums, and Made in Heaven — sits down with Gaurav Arora on xMonks Drive for one of her most in-depth conversations ever.Alankrita Shrivastava is one of India's most fearless and acclaimed filmmakers. Her debut film Lipstick Under My Burkha was banned by the CBFC censor board before fighting its way to a theatrical release and winning awards at over 80 international film festivals including Tokyo International Film Festival and Créteil International Women's Film Festival. Her Netflix series Bombay Begums, which she created, wrote, and directed, was targeted by the NCPCR. Her Amazon Prime Video series Made in Heaven, co-created with Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, received an International Emmy nomination.In this episode, Alankrita Shrivastava opens up about the real story behind Lipstick Under My Burkha, what it felt like when the censor board called her film obscene and refused certification, and how she fought to get it released in India. She talks about working with Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti in the Made in Heaven writers room, why she cast Pooja Bhatt in Bombay Begums, and why Konkona Sen Sharma is the only actor she would make every film with for the rest of her life. She also speaks candidly about the challenges facing women directors in Indian cinema, why only 6% of Indian films are directed by women, what OTT platforms like Netflix India are afraid of, and why Bollywood's business model is structurally rigged against independent filmmakers and women's stories.Alankrita also reflects on her years as assistant director under Prakash Jha on films like Raajneeti, Gangaajal, and Apaharan, the personal challenges she faced during the release of Lipstick Under My Burkha, her upcoming film on Pakistani social media star Qandeel Baloch and the circumstances of her death, and what she wants every woman watching her films to feel.This is an unmissable conversation about Indian cinema, women's stories, creative freedom, censorship in India, OTT platforms, Bollywood, filmmaking, and the fight to tell the stories that matter.Timestamps00:00 Lipstick Trailer Impact00:23 Creative Room Debates01:24 Censorship Release Battle05:19 Personal Loss And Faith06:00 First Big Set Experience07:40 Tough Love Mentorship08:56 Writing Turning 3012:16 Director Versus Actor14:48 Female Gaze Origins18:54 Made In Heaven Writers Room22:35 Women Behind Camera Gap23:18 Casting Pooja Bhatt25:14 Showrunner Stress Points26:51 Films vs Series Space27:23 OTT Boom for Actors28:11 Prithvi Theatre Struggle Days30:14 Why Konkona Works32:20 Pappu Character Spotlight34:09 Laapataa Ladies35:14 Theatrical vs Streaming Debate38:36 Staying True to Craft41:01 Writing Complex Women43:48 Themes Agency and Class45:09 What Keeps Her Going49:52 Impact on Small Town Girls52:01 Advice for New Filmmakers54:15 Closing Thanks Topics covered: Lipstick Under My Burkha | Bombay Begums | Made in Heaven | Zoya Akhtar | Reema Kagti | Konkona Sen Sharma | Pooja Bhatt | Prakash Jha | Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare | Kiran Rao | Laapataa Ladies | CBFC censor board India | Netflix India | Amazon Prime Video India | women directors India | feminist filmmaking | Indian independent cinema | OTT platforms India | Bollywood filmmaking | Qandeel Baloch | NCPCR | International Emmy India | Tokyo Film Festival | female gaze | women in Bollywood | Indian web series | best Indian films | Indian female director | women empowerment India | bold Indian storytelling | Indian podcast | Hindi cinema | streaming wars India | creative freedom India | xMonks Drive | Gaurav Arora
Tonight is another great Horrorhound Spring 2026 Filmfest interview with P. Patrick Hogan, the writer & director of a sci-fi horror short film titled Blindsided, that also won Best Lead Performance & Best Sound Design at the Film Festival. The logline to the short is "A blind schoolteacher is thrust into a nightmare game of survival when an alien ship crashes & unleashes a monstrous predator." The film could very well stand with the likes of A Quiet Place, Bird Box & Hush, even with a runtime of under 10 minutes. We appreciate Patrick for his time & you can catch Blindsided next on May 30, 2026 at ConCarolinas Short Film Festival & June 7, 2026 at Portland Horror Film Festival.

We went around the world for this Out Takes, featuring some of the latest queer films on offer this May from Chile, Germany and the UK . With the 2026 HSBC German Film Festival back on in Melbourne until May 28, we had the opportunity to speak with director Faraz Shariat about their film ‘Prosecution’ which is one of the featured Australian Premieres in this year’s festival. Winner of the Audience Award at the 2026 Berlinale, ‘Prosecution’ is described an engrossing tale of good versus evil that cleverly combines legal drama and thriller for a powerful and urgent story about the realities of Germany's judicial system. Our exclusive interview with Faraz Shariat saw us cover a wide range of topics related to the film and its exploration of queerness for the main character. We also reviewed ‘The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo‘, an intense and at times fantastical drama written and directed by Diego Céspedes that is streaming now on Mubi. The film unfolds in the early 1980’s in Chile in a dusty mining town nestled in the Atacama Desert, where eleven-year-old Lidia is the only child raised in a household of queer performers working at a local cantina. With his widely acclaimed feature debut, Céspedes emerges as a distinctive cinematic voice, crafting a poetic vision of love and resilience that also reflects the marginalisation and violence faced by queer communities today. Our final review for this program was ‘Mother Mary’, directed by David Lowery and featuring an incredible all female ensemble cast including Michaela Coel, Anne Hathaway, Hunter Schafer, Kaia Gerber and FKA Twigs, the film explores the complicated professional and personal relationship between iconic pop star Mother Mary (Anne Hathaway) who reunites with her estranged best friend and former costume designer Sam Anselm (Michaela Coel) on the eve of her comeback performance. ‘Mother Mary’ is in cinemas now and features original music written and produced by Charli XCX, FKA Twigs and Jack Antonoff and sang by Anne Hathaway. The post German Film Festival with special guest Faraz Shariat and reviews of The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo and Mother Mary appeared first on Out Takes.

We are wrapping up our coverage of the West Chester Film Festival with some highlights from the 3rd and final day of the celebration of the short film format. And what better way to kick things off than with some brunch and animation as we hit up the pop-up event at BierHaul - TownHouse, which included an inspiring morning routine courtesy of "Dance Into the Day", the comedic musings of a bucket list in "Retirement Plan", the tough lessons of "Forevergreen", and a delivery driver committed to fast service in "Rush Order | Drive! CalGal Drive!". We then caught one of the last of Stephen King's "Dollar Babies" with "The Woman in The Room", a visually striking tale of domestic abuse in "Dark Orange", a comedic look at zombies and labor exploitation in the "MAGNET BRAIN", a hand-painted and heart-wrenching stunner with "Papillon (Butterfly)", and of course, we have a full breakdown of all of the festival's award winners.

The Hobbit, Heavenly Creatures en The Lord of the Rings. Allemaal films van de Nieuw-Zeelandse regisseur Peter Jackson. Al jaren zijn zijn films niet meer weg te denken uit onze bioscopen. Daarom krijgt hij vandaag, met de start van het Filmfestival van Cannes, van de organisatie een oeuvreprijs, de ere-Palm. Tijd om in het leven en werk van deze filmmaker te duiken. Te gast is Roel Jetze van Assen, filmkenner en zelfbenoemd filmnerd.
Volker Schlöndorff schwärmt rückblickend – „aber ohne Nostalgie“ – von der Zeit der Nouvelle Vague. Der Regisseur verrät, was das Publikum in Cannes so außergewöhnlich macht und warum dort früher ein gutes Verhältnis zum Toilettenpersonal nützlich war.

BioMichael Tove is a writer producer whose long held passion for storytelling is now coming to life.

Do film festival laurels actually help sell your movie? In this episode, I break down the truth about film festival awards, official selections, and what buyers, sales agents, and distributors really care about. We'll talk about the major festivals that matter—like Sundance, Cannes, Tribeca, and Toronto—why smaller regional festivals often don't move the needle for sales, and how filmmakers should use festivals strategically to build an audience instead of chasing meaningless laurels. If you're trying to sell your indie film, this is an important conversation.

On this episode, we talk with the people behind Iowa's two Latino film festivals. The Des Moines Latino Film Festival just held its sixth annual event on April 11. Antonio Romero of the Latino Center of Iowa and Ben Godar of Varsity Cinema, who co-present the festival, share how their partnership has reshaped the festival the last couple years, and their hopes for the future. Then, we get a preview of the inaugural Aqui y Alla Latin American Film Festival happening May 1-3 at Filmscene in Iowa City with programming director Ben Delgado and festival committee member Ariana Martinez. Also, poets JD Schraffenberger and Sean Thomas Dougherty join to discuss their recently published "chapbook" of golden shovel-formatted poems that were inspired by the work of James Hearst.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that truly believes lesbians can save the world. This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) is once again holding down the fort without Ellie, but she's far from lonely! We are excited to present an intergenerational panel of talented filmmakers from the Cinema Systers Film Festival (@cinemasystersfilmfestival), the ONLY all-lesbian film festival in the United States, as they join Leigh for an inspirational discussion about finding “systerhood” and the power of sharing our stories in community. Leigh speaks with Laura Petrie, the founder and producer of the CSFF, about planting her acorn by bringing her vision for a lesbian film festival to life in her beloved hometown of Paducah, Kentucky. Next, we hear from Nicole de Meneses (@darkrainbowfilms), a freelance writer, producer and director who was introduced to the CSFF through a documentary on the festival (available on Lesflicks). She has had several films now featured at the festival, including the mermaid romcom, Fishy, and the vampire horror short, Last Bite. Next up is Jennifer Trujillo, the Senior Managing Director of the Gilbert Baker Film Festival (@gilbertbakerfilmfest), who faced serious anxieties over trekking to Kentucky (and subsequently fell in love with Paducah) to represent Last Bite in 2025 as a Supporting Producer. Last but not least, we are joined by Krissy Mahan, a working class film maker (and lesbian of a certain age), who has been documenting our stories since the AIDS crisis of the late 80s and is now well-known for her “dykeumentaries”, a visual record of queer people living as themselves during times when the official record may not reflect that reality. At this year's festival, Krissy and Jenn will be leading a workshop titled "Accessibility is for Every Body”, aiming to liberate films from ableism from the pre-production stages forward. They dream of creating a cultural shift where films are truly accessible to all people regardless of their bodies' unique sensory inputs. Together we can normalize our stories, break free of the patriarchal, homophobic, racist, ableist world we've inherited and celebrate one another while using film as a mechanism for thought experiments on how to create a better world where we can all survive. Stick around to the end to hear an impassioned debate (ie. dyke fight) over the lesbian Christmas classic, Carol. We hope you'll journey to Paducah, Kentucky for the 10th Anniversary celebration of the Cinema Systers Film Festival taking place from May 21st to the 24th, 2026. In addition to a full roster of films, the festival provides tons of events to take part in throughout the long weekend including panels, musical performances, and workshops.

This week on Life Beyond The Mic, Shawna shares a one month update on her TMS therapy journey and opens up about feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, and very much in need of a vacation — even if that “getaway” happens to be a trip to West Virginia with her mom's senior group.Then, we sit down with Linda Perillo to discuss her new book Your Payment Method Has Been Declined and the unbelievable true story behind it, including the alleged mishandling and theft of a trust fund Linda's father set up for his children involving family, lawyers, and banks. It's a powerful conversation about betrayal, resilience, and what happens when the people and systems you trust let you down.Plus, Shawna catches up with RJ Mitte from Breaking Bad at the ReelAbilities Film Festival for a conversation about living with cerebral palsy, disability representation in film, how far Hollywood has come, and where inclusion still falls short.Hosted by Shawna and LaLa, Life Beyond The Mic brings real conversations that go beyond the mic, lights, cameras, and stage. Follow the show so you never miss an episode, and if this resonated with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. We feature real conversations, product experiences, and brands we genuinely love. For interviews, product features, and media opportunities, visit www.shawnaandlala.com.
