Paul Greengrass' new film, The Uprising, stars Andrew Garfield as a 14th-century peasant who, in the wake of the Plague, leads a revolt against the king. It's a history Greengrass grew up learning, and now sees parallels with Covid and Jan 6th. “People were left numb, and then this gathering rage …defenseless, and then suddenly you had this enormous rebellion,” he tells Tonya Mosley. Greengrass also reflects on his movie United 93, 25 years after the Sept. 11 attacks.Film critic Justin Chang reviews the new drama Filipiñana. Subscribe to our free weekly newsletter Follow us on Instagram Subscribe to our YouTube channel Check out the Fresh Air ArchivesSee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Filmmakers, we have an absolutely magical episode for you this week! While Giles Alderson has been out in Bulgaria producing his latest feature film, the brilliant Conor Boru steps into the host chair to sit down with the phenomenal director Susanne Bier to discuss her massive new release, PRACTICAL MAGIC 2. Nearly three decades after the original spellbound audiences, Susanne takes us behind the scenes of bringing the Owens sisters back to the big screen. She dives deep into the realities of directing a massive studio sequel, working with Hollywood royalty like Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, balancing practical on-set effects with visual spectacles, and why the beating heart of this film is the authentic sisterhood on screen.

Matthew Toffolo chats with David Joyce about his short film "The War on Art of Doomsday Poets," a 20-minute musical comedy that serves as a promotional vehicle for his band, the Doomsday Poets. David explained that the band intentionally avoids social media and streaming services, instead selling physical products with NFC tags that provide access to their music on a secure cloud platform. The film originated from podcast skits that gained popularity, and David is now directing a feature-length version of the same concept while maintaining the band's offline approach to music distribution. David shared his background as a bass player and music producer who previously toured with bands in the 1980s, transitioning to studio work before getting into film production during the pandemic. He discussed his collaboration with singer Adam Theriault, who creates music described as a unique blend similar to "if Prince and the Doobie Brothers had a love child," and their plans to complete the feature film with one final day of shooting. —- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

Have you ever swapped stories on a porch with Amish snowbirds in Florida? Searched for reindeer with the Siberian Yupik in Alaska? Been a guest on a houseboat deep in the Louisiana bayou? Peter Santenello hadn't either, until after years spent traveling through eighty-five countries and living abroad, he realized the most unfamiliar territory was often his own American backyard. And so, with a camera in hand and an open mind, he began visiting communities across the country that most media overlooks or misrepresents, from tiny towns in Appalachia to the streets of East LA. What began as curiosity became--one story at a time--an intimate, revealing portrait of America today. From road trips and chance encounters to dinners shared in locals' homes, Your Fellow Americans: Dispatches from Across the Country We Call Home (Simon and Schuster, 2026) captures what makes this country so dynamic, so resilient, and most of all, so very human. Because what Peter discovered on his travels wasn't a nation torn in two. He found something more complex and more powerful: people who want to be seen, who are willing to listen, and who still believe we're more alike than we are different.

This month, on Laura Flanders & Friends, we turn to the state of journalism—at a moment of deep disruption, consolidation, and consequence.  But journalists aren't simply standing by—they're pushing back, reimagining their work, and, in many cases, taking matters into their own hands.   This week we'll hear from the long-running independent collective Third World Newsreel, still thriving in an era some are calling “media carnage,” showing what it looks like to endure—and to resist. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: It's almost unheard of for an independent media collective to survive as long as Third World Newsreel has. Since 1968, they have chronicled some of the most pivotal movements in human history and continue to expand on their collection of over 700 titles. There's lots to learn about how they've adapted through technological revolutions, political persecutions, philanthropic booms and busts — and how the oldest media arts collective in the U.S. is making do in today's “media carnage”, as Laura Flanders puts it. Joining us are JT Takagi, an independent filmmaker, sound recordist, and the longtime executive director of Third World Newsreel. Tami Gold is an artist and activist whose documentaries grapple with everything from imperialism to sex work. Her films include My Country Occupied, Another Brother and Land Rain Fire among many more. Puerto Rican-born Juan Carlos Dávila works in film as well as TV, where he reports on social movements around environmentalism, militarism and the struggles of the working class on the island. His films include The Stand-By Generation, Viequez: An Endless Battle and Drills of Liberation. Join us as we look at the past, present and future of Third World Newsreel and ask how film can be used as a tool for organizing. “I'd say we feel more urgent now than ever before. Every day there's something happening that makes it clear that our rights and liberties, and people's lives all over the world are at stake. Not being in touch with the history and media that shows the truth of what's going on is really decimating people's ability to, as Juan said, know what to follow and what to do.” - JT Takagi “We need to retake the theater, the physical space that is being ignored by the corporations. Perhaps now that is the opportunity that we have . . . A theater is being rented by people who are organizers, and they're using their collective spirit and know-how to organize huge, huge crowds to come.” - Tami Gold “People can shoot stuff with the phone . . . I see a lot in Puerto Rico that people are still wanting to produce with the corporate industry standards. Many young filmmakers like myself tend to think that we need so many personnel to be doing films. Right now we can actually make films with less.” - Juan Carlos Dávila Guests: •  Juan Carlos Dávila: Documentary Filmmaker, Multimedia Journalist, Puerto Rico Correspondent, Democracy Now! •  Tami Gold: Filmmaker, Artist, Activist •  JT Takagi: Executive Director, Third World Newsreel   Watch on YouTube this episode that includes video clips referenced in this episode from Third World Newsreel; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Episode 122: Introducing “Kick” featuring filmmaker, Darrelle Williams!What's up world! We know it's been a long time, but we're back with some exciting new content recorded through the 2026 Men's World Cup. First up is our interview with Darrelle Williams. Darrelle is a filmmaker from North Philadelphia who has made a wonderful pilot for his series “Kick.” Kick is about a sixteen-year-old soccer prodigy named Naomi from North Philly, who is thrust into the spotlight after she impresses at a match. Tap in as we talk about what, or who, inspired Darrelle to make Kick, why he felt it was so important to make a show about a young Black girl playing soccer, and what role his city plays in telling this story. You'll also get all of the other fun questions we always ask our guests. This one is a good one, and we hope you dig it. Check Out the Trailer https://youtu.be/VHlTzptJBjc

Welcome back to the Rundown with Jake and Nate!! -

On Episode 338 of Everyday Injustice, host David Greenwald speaks with filmmakers Julius Irving and Leigh Scott as part of the Represent Justice series “Pathways Beyond Criminalized Crises,” a collection of films created by formerly incarcerated people that examines what can happen when healing, care and restoration replace punishment. Irving directed “The Silent (R)evolution: Freedom From the Inside Out,” while Scott directed “Uncarcerated,” with both filmmakers drawing on their own experiences with incarceration and community advocacy. Scott describes how a mental health crisis following the deaths of his wife and daughter ultimately brought him into the criminal legal system. After his release from prison in 2015, he began working in homeless services and justice-related spaces, where he saw connections between incarceration, poverty, mental health, substance use and the lack of adequate community support. His film examines those connections while exploring alternative first-responder programs and ways communities can respond to crises without relying primarily on police and incarceration. Irving recounts his own experience returning to jail after being stopped while driving to work and discovering his license had been suspended, resulting in a probation violation. Despite community members, employers and a county commissioner advocating on his behalf, Irving was sentenced to 90 days in county jail — a period he argues can be enough for someone living near the poverty line to lose a job, vehicle, housing and financial stability. Rather than focus his film exclusively on the harms of incarceration, Irving said he wanted to examine the power of community and demonstrate how people can provide one another with forms of healing and restorative justice that punitive institutions often fail to provide. The conversation also explores how filmmaking gave Irving and Scott a platform to transform lived experience into advocacy. Irving describes filmmaking as an opportunity to communicate his story to a larger audience, while Scott calls the project a “full circle moment” that allowed him to combine a lifelong interest in filmmaking with his work in homelessness and criminal justice reform. Both discuss the support they received through Represent Justice and the importance of giving formerly incarcerated people the resources and opportunity to tell their own stories rather than having those experiences interpreted exclusively by outsiders.

What happens when Hollywood keeps saying no, but you refuse to stop making movies?Filmmaker and screenwriter Michael Rousselet shares the unconventional path that took him from USC film school to creating more than 1,500 Five Second Films and eventually co-writing and directing the cult comedy Dude Bro Party Massacre III. Michael breaks down what film school actually taught him, why failure is essential to becoming a better filmmaker, how constant production sharpened his craft, and why filmmakers need to stop waiting for permission and start creating with whatever resources they have.Michael also reveals how Five Second Films built an online audience large enough to help crowdfund a feature after traditional producers passed, how an independent financier came aboard after seeing their momentum, his screenwriting and outlining process, why terrible first drafts are necessary, and the realities of self-distributing an independent movie. He also tells the incredible story behind his connection to The Room and Tommy Wiseau. This conversation is packed with practical lessons for screenwriters, directors, producers, and indie filmmakers trying to turn ideas into finished movies.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.

Matthew Toffolo chats with Natasha Mynhier, the director of a 20-minute sci-fi short film that premiered at the Sci-Fi Fantasy Film Festival. Natasha discussed her film, which explores themes of aptitude testing and AI in the future, inspired by real-world developments where companies like Microsoft use video game-based hiring exams to assess candidates. The film, shot in Los Angeles using a government building as a set, was made possible through Natasha's participation in AFI's Directing Workshop for Women Plus program, where she worked with cinematographer Hanna Plotzer to create a tension-filled thriller centered on a South Asian protagonist taking an exam that determines her future. The film serves as a proof of concept for a potential series, with Natasha emphasizing the importance of maintaining subjective storytelling while quickly establishing exposition in sci-fi narratives. https://www.wildsound.ca/videos/aptitude-audience-feedback https://www.instagram.com/natashamynhier —- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

On this episode, Sadie has the pleasure of speaking with two phenomenal indie filmmakers – Harrison Houde and Dakota Daulby about their debut feature film Tight Lettuce. The film took home the Audience Award for Best Quebec Feature at Fantasia Film Festival (2026). The film is currently on a limited release theatrical run - but be sure to follow them on Instagram and their website for updates. Now, these are two indie filmmakers you need to have on your radar. They're carving their own path, one film at a time (actually quite a few films at a time), and all that hard work has taken them on a grand journey to getting to make this feature film. The film is based on a true story - and these two dug deep on the topic on hand about addiction and familial bonds. These two share a lot on the topic of independent filmmaking, the process, the collaborative effort, and share key learning points from this latest creative endeavor (ie don't shoot car scenes)!And don't worry - Jeanne will be back! We have some really great conversations dropping here soon - so stay tuned!Resources from this episode: Tight Lettuce TrailerTight Lettuce WebsiteVesperia FilmsVesperia InstagramKeelhaulPipeline Podcasts:All OG Pipeline Artists podcasts can be found on pipelineartists.com/listen.YouTube:Watch full (read that as "most ... maybe not any" because Jeanne is tired) episodes on YouTube.Follow us on X:@recklesscr8tive@SadieKDean@jeannevb@pipelineartistsFollow us on IG:@recklesscr8tive@_thesadiedean_@jeannevb_@pipelineartistsDive into our affordable education platform, Symposium, for live events and on-demand.Enter Pipeline's Contests:Script Pipeline—Screenwriting/TV/PitchFilm Pipeline—Short Scripts/FilmsBook Pipeline  Dive into our affordable education platform, Symposium, for live events and on-demand.Enter Pipeline's Contests:Script Pipeline—Screenwriting/TV/PitchFilm Pipeline—Short Scripts/FilmsBook Pipeline

https://www.voltairesghost.comInstagramBioVoltaire's GhostVoltaire's Ghost is a gothic rock trio from Western Colorado with a penchant for love, death, and the sounds in between. Comprised of Ruby Juhl on vocals, Joshua Eggstaff on drums, and Magnus on guitars and production, the band has been creating music together since 2023, touring throughout California, Texas, and Colorado and bringing their distinctive sound to the stages of renowned venues across the region.Following the success of their 2025 record Death Becomes You, Voltaire's Ghost earned a Semi Finalist placement in America's Next Top Hitmaker, sponsored by Rolling Stone, competing against more than 70,000 contestants. The recognition helped propel a run of singles that ultimately led to the band's 13 track album Black Petals Fallen.Recorded in Colorado and mixed in Los Angeles, Black Petals Fallen was engineered by Grammy nominated Joe Ayoub. The album captures the band's evolving sound while exploring its recurring themes of love, loss, darkness, and mortality. Its fourth single, “‘Till The Break of Day,” takes a softer and more romantic turn, offering a bittersweet slow dance that steps outside the album's predominantly gothic atmosphere.The song tells the story of two people destined to share only one night together, capturing the beauty and sadness of a love that cannot last. “‘Till The Break of Day” continues Voltaire's Ghost's fascination with the intersection of love and death, but approaches those themes with warmth and vulnerability.The song began years ago as a rough demo written by Magnus. When Ruby and Josh discovered the original recording, they immediately connected with its emotional potential. What started as a simple sketch gradually became a fully realized collaboration, with Ruby's expressive vocals and Josh's instinctive drumming transforming the original idea into something much more expansive.Magnus describes the evolution simply: “It went from a rough sketch to a beautiful painting.”Ruby preserved the original lyrics while bringing her own phrasing and emotional interpretation to the song. Josh found an immediate connection with the arrangement, recognizing an opening for drums that allowed him to shape the track naturally. “This one was easy to jump into and start playing,” he says. “It captured me right away. It's my favorite song on the album, even though it's a softer song.”The band describes “‘Till The Break of Day” as a song that has gradually become “more sweet than bitter.” At its heart, the track is about recognizing the rare people who feel like home from the moment we meet them and holding on to those connections, even when circumstances make them impossible to keep. It explores the timeless question of whether it is better to experience love and lose it or never experience it at all.“‘Till The Break of Day” is scheduled for release on August 14, while Black Petals Fallen is available for digital purchase on Bandcamp. A vinyl pre order is also available through the band's website.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

This month, on Laura Flanders & Friends, we turn to the state of journalism—at a moment of deep disruption, consolidation, and consequence.  But journalists aren't simply standing by—they're pushing back, reimagining their work, and, in many cases, taking matters into their own hands.   This week we'll hear from the long-running independent collective Third World Newsreel, still thriving in an era some are calling “media carnage,” showing what it looks like to endure—and to resist. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: It's almost unheard of for an independent media collective to survive as long as Third World Newsreel has. Since 1968, they have chronicled some of the most pivotal movements in human history and continue to expand on their collection of over 700 titles. There's lots to learn about how they've adapted through technological revolutions, political persecutions, philanthropic booms and busts — and how the oldest media arts collective in the U.S. is making do in today's “media carnage”, as Laura Flanders puts it. Joining us are JT Takagi, an independent filmmaker, sound recordist, and the longtime executive director of Third World Newsreel. Tami Gold is an artist and activist whose documentaries grapple with everything from imperialism to sex work. Her films include My Country Occupied, Another Brother and Land Rain Fire among many more. Puerto Rican-born Juan Carlos Dávila works in film as well as TV, where he reports on social movements around environmentalism, militarism and the struggles of the working class on the island. His films include The Stand-By Generation, Viequez: An Endless Battle and Drills of Liberation. Join us as we look at the past, present and future of Third World Newsreel and ask how film can be used as a tool for organizing. “I'd say we feel more urgent now than ever before. Every day there's something happening that makes it clear that our rights and liberties, and people's lives all over the world are at stake. Not being in touch with the history and media that shows the truth of what's going on is really decimating people's ability to, as Juan said, know what to follow and what to do.” - JT Takagi “We need to retake the theater, the physical space that is being ignored by the corporations. Perhaps now that is the opportunity that we have . . . A theater is being rented by people who are organizers, and they're using their collective spirit and know-how to organize huge, huge crowds to come.” - Tami Gold “People can shoot stuff with the phone . . . I see a lot in Puerto Rico that people are still wanting to produce with the corporate industry standards. Many young filmmakers like myself tend to think that we need so many personnel to be doing films. Right now we can actually make films with less.” - Juan Carlos Dávila Guests: •  Juan Carlos Dávila: Documentary Filmmaker, Multimedia Journalist, Puerto Rico Correspondent, Democracy Now! •  Tami Gold: Filmmaker, Artist, Activist •  JT Takagi: Executive Director, Third World Newsreel   Watch on YouTube this episode that includes video clips referenced in this episode from Third World Newsreel; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Perder el empleo fue solo el inicio. Vladymir pasó cerca de un año y medio aplicando a más de 100 vacantes, haciendo InDrive y tratando de conseguir clientes mientras definía qué podía hacer por su cuenta.En esta conversación hablamos sobre su transición de empleado a independiente, el proceso de construir una marca personal y las diferencias entre producir contenido para otros y convertirse en creador. También exploramos su interés por la historia dominicana y cómo la ha integrado a su estilo de contenido.
