In the second episode of the Sundance 2023 podcast season, we discuss Sundance's Spotlight Program, its only feature film program dedicated to films that premiered at other festivals. We discuss the program's history of picking great films and giving them the spotlight they needed (but didn't get at other festivals). We discuss four of the five films programmed in the Spotlight section: Other People's Children, Joyland, L'Immensità, and The Eight Mountains. Since we already talked about Other People's Children in depth on a previous episode, we only discuss it briefly here. Additionally, we go deep on The Eight Mountains, which Alex loved, and briefly discuss the other two films in the program that we've seen which we weren't too keen on. We've actually written books featuring several of the films that screened in Spotlight, including You Were Never Really Here, Girlhood, and The Worst Person in the World. And several of the films previously programmed in the last decade have made our list of the best films of the 2010s. Click here to read the episode show notes. You will also find an AI-generated transcript in the show notes. About the Sundance 2023 season This is the second episode of our new podcast season on the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.

Ep. 116: Virtual film festivals: Taking stock of their past, present, and future (Members Only). Sundance is one of the only festivals in 2023 still offering a virtual component. On this episode, we talked about the advent of virtual film festivals and what we'd like to see in the future. Ep. 129: Highlights of 2022 Fall Film Festivals (Members Only). We discuss the best films that screened on the festival circuit in fall 2022. This includes a free in-depth discussion of Other People's Children. Episodes on Films featured in the Spotlight section Ep. 112: Joachim Trier's The Worst Person in the World (Free). As the world experts on the films of Joachim Trier (our book on his work will be out later this year), we published an episode on his twice Oscar-nominated film The Worst Person in the World (2021), which screened in Spotlight in 2022. Ep. 73: Explorations of rape culture in Promising Young Woman and The Assistant (Members Only). Although The Assistant premiered at Telluride in 2020, it only really started generating buzz after its 2021 screening in the Spotlight Program at Sundance. In this episode, we discuss its depiction of rape culture alongside a bigger Sundance hit (which was also much less nuanced), Promising Young Woman. Ep. 107: Another Round and Oslo, August 31st: Are men OK? Masculinity, mental health, & addiction(Members Only). Joachim Trier first came to Sundance in 2012 with Oslo, August 31st (which premiered at Cannes in 2011), our #1 film of the 2010s. We talk about how the film addresses masculinity, mental health, & addiction and how this compares with the more recent film, a decade later, Another Round. Episodes on genre films featured in the Sundance Spotlight program Ep. 17: The Nightingale (Members Only): Having launched her career in the World Dramatic Competition at Sundance, Jennifer Kent once again returned to the festival with her second feature, The Nightingale, which premiered at Venice to an underwhelming response. We thought the film was rich and excellent in many ways (if flawed), and went deep on it on the podcast. Ep. 112: Raw and Thelma and modern female monsters (Members Only): After receiving rave reviews (and press about vomiting walkouts) at Cannes and TIFF, Julia Ducournau (who later won the Palme d'Or for Titane) screened her first feature, Raw at Sundance in the Spotlight program. We talk about the film in comparison with Joachim Trier's Thelma. Ep. 38 Australian Westerns: The True History of the Kelly Gang, Sweet Country, and The Dressmaker (Members Only): Warwick Thornton's fantastic feature Sweet Country previously screened in the Sundance Spotlight program after premiering (and winning an award) at Venice and TIFF. In this episode, we discuss how Thornton decolonizes the Australian Western, as well as how this compares to Australian Westerns about settler characters (made by settlers).
YO WHAT IS UP! We are back again with a new season, a new theme, a new film to explore AND a new format (yeah omg I know). On this one, we travel to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where we meet Wadjda, a young girl desperate to own a bicycle of her own. Starring the amazing Waad Mohamed, Abdulrahman AlGohani, Reem Abdullah and Ahd Hassan Kamel, this marked the first time a film was entirely shot in Saudi Arabia. Add to that, Wadjda was the first film to be directed by a Saudi Arabian woman, the truly inspiring Haifaa Al-Mansour. Often having to side step religious police, Haifaa had to direct actors from inside cars and vans just to get the shots she needed. This film truly brought tears to our eyes and we all really enjoyed this film, so we really hope you do too. As per usual, don't forget to like, share and subscribe to The Movie Newbie.

In this episode, Claire and Elizabeth review the pod's first foreign film with Haifaa Al-Mansour's endearing and historic Wadjda (2012). The co-hosts talk about the movie's universal themes, the challenges of filming the first ever feature-length movie in Saudi Arabia and the country's evolving film industry.

International and intersectional perspectives and stories are essential to learning and understanding more about each other as women- and we have a responsibility to be aware of the experiences of women across the world. Women abroad endure hurdles or dangers to have their voices heard and their stories told. These stories can highlight not only differences that we weren't aware of, but also shared experiences that can open our eyes to similarities we may not have ever thought we'd relate to. Katusha Jin and Dayna Hagewood join us to discuss four international films that are directed by women. Two of these films focus on young women in their home countries: The 2014 Saudi Arabian Film, Wadjda, Written and Directed by Haifaa Al-Mansour, also the First Female-Directed Saudi Film, and the 2008 Argentinian Film, XXY, Written and Directed by Lucía Puenzo. The other two films shed light on the experiences of young women dealing with the consequences of emigration: The 2017 Norwegian-Pakistani Film, What Will People Say, written and directed by Norwegian-Pakistani screenwriter and director Iram Haq, and The 2009 German Film, Desert Flower, directed by Sherry Hormann.

Wofür steht Saudi-Arabien? Wohin führt die neue Vision, weg von der Ölabhängigkeit und Abschottung? Wie verändern sich Frauenrechte und welche Rolle spielt die Kunst im Wandel? Diesen und vielen weiteren Fragen gehen wir in unserem neuen Themenmonat zum Königreich im Mittleren Osten, Saudi-Arabien, auf den Grund. Mit der Auslandsreporterin und Autorin Susanne Koelbl sprechen wir über das Land im Aufbruch. Wir reden über schwindenden Wohlstand, neue Industrien und den Wertewandel im Wüstenstaat. Haifaa Al Mansour ist die erste saudi-arabische Regisseurin. Frau Al Mansour berichtet uns von ihrem Weg zur international preisgekrönten Filmemacherin und der Rolle der Frau in Saudi-Arabien.

Haifaa Al Mansour, cinéaste de 45 ans, a été la première femme saoudienne à réaliser un long métrage dans son pays, avec Wajda en 2012. Aujourd’hui, elle revient avec un nouveau film The perfect candidate, ou « La candidate parfaite », le portrait d’une femme médecin.
Le remake de "Trois hommes et un bébé" avec Zac Efron devrait être diffusé sur la plateforme Disney +. Burna Boy, pape de l’afro-fusion, revient avec un 4ème album intitulé "Twice As Tall". Will Smith serait en pourparlers avec différentes plateformes pour produire un reboot de la série "Le Prince de Bel Air". La réalisatrice Haifaa Al Mansour signe un film féministe sur une candidate aux élections municipales. À la télévision, Jude Law sera bientôt à l’affiche d’une nouvelle mini-série intitulée "The Third Day". Le magazine Forbes vient de dévoiler la liste des acteurs les mieux payés au monde, Dwayne Johnson alias The Rock caracole avec plus de 87 millions de dollars engrangés dans les 12 derniers mois.
Haifaa Al-Mansour was the first Saudi Arabian woman to direct a feature film. It’s pretty incredible that she has managed to do that when she’s from a country that severely limits the movement of women, and even more impressive when commercial cinemas weren’t even allowed to open in Saudi Arabia until two years ago.She also made the first ever feature film to be made there by anyone, man or woman, 2017’s Wadjda.Haifaa’s latest film is The Perfect Candidate, Which is part of the New Zealand International Film Festival.Haifaa joins Jack Tame to talk about her extraordinary career.LISTEN ABOVE

Vrouwen mogen er inmiddels autorijden én, sinds afgelopen december, ook door dezelfde deur als mannen een restaurant binnenstappen. Saudi-Arabië probeert het oerconservatieve en onderdrukkende imago van zich af te schudden. Maar in hoeverre lukt dat ook? In de Saudische film The Perfect Candidate probeert een jonge vrouwelijke arts het glazen plafond te breken door mee te doen aan lokale verkiezingen. De film draait vanaf vrijdag op het Internationaal Filmfestival in Rotterdam. Een gesprek met de Saudische regisseur Haifaa Al Mansour.

This is an episode YOU should listen to even if you hate my jokes! This is all about federal disaster assistance programs and what you should know if you ever are unfortunate enough to suffer damage to your home and/or personal property due to a natural or manmade disaster. Learn about FEMA aid and SBA loans (yes, even if you don't own a business!) Plus, we have useful insurance tips for all homeowners. After that is a great discussion with Amanda of the podcasts Amanda's Picture Show A-Go-Go and Culture Pop A-Go-Go. Topics include the documentary "RBG," Saudi Arabian sexist filmmaking, and more! One more note: I had to make some tough editing choices in order to get the length of this episode to a reasonable point. Included in the patron version of this episode, but unfortunately not here, is the discussion of attorney Lee Nation. He was the primary appellate counsel in the Missouri murder jury case (where women were being systematically excluded in Jackson County). Ruth Bader Ginsburg was second chair when they litigated this in the Supreme Court. ======================================= ASSISTANCE LINKS FOR DISASTER VICTIMS: https://www.fema.gov/hurricane-florence https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs/disaster-assistance Rex Perschbacher Obituary: https://www.davisenterprise.com/obits/rex-perschbacher/ Amanda's Links: https://www.amandaagogo.com/ Twitter: @amandaspicshow @culturepopagogo Guest Voice Actors in Disaster Office sketch: Robert Stanley from The Right to Reason https://www.therighttoreason.com/podcasts-1/ Marissa Alexa McCool from Inciting Incident and The Cis Are Getting Out of Hand! http://rismccool.com/ Larry Yellingman from Man Yells At News https://www.spreaker.com/show/man-yells-at-news Chris Watson from The Podunk Polymath https://thepodunkpolymath.com/ Tris Mamone from Bi Any Means, Biskeptical, and The Spin Off https://www.spreaker.com/user/tmamone Hurricane Florence/Linda McMahon Links: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/09/23/irans-president-blames-us-after-attack-on-military-parade.html https://www.wkyt.com/content/news/Hurricane-Florence-death-toll-now-at-31-people--493535601.html https://wtop.com/weather-news/2018/09/florence-threatens-more-than-a-million-homes-without-flood-insurance/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/capitalbusiness/linda-mcmahon-who-built-a-wrestling-powerhouse-could-face-a-tough-bout-in-senate-hearing/2017/01/23/f7c9a3da-e196-11e6-ba11-63c4b4fb5a63_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.a01d7ce9568c https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/linda-mcmahon-wwe-sexual-harassment_us_585c1bc0e4b0d9a594577de6 http://www.nwaonline.com/news/2018/sep/07/leader-of-sba-drops-by-in-state-2018090/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/linda-mcmahon-donated-7-million-to-elect-trump/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-EHMM8-Xn8 https://www.puertoricoreport.com/president-donald-trump-brings-team-puerto-rico-issues-statements-hurricane-maria/#.W6ve4hNKiLg https://newsismybusiness.com/administrator-visit-this/ https://www.elnuevodia.com/opinion/columnas/sbacontinuestohelphurricanemariarecoveryefforts-columna-2448049/ https://www.foxbusiness.com/features/trump-administration-has-boots-on-the-ground-in-california-sbas-mcmahon https://www.theepochtimes.com/small-business-administration-preparing-for-disaster-relief_2662507.html Flint Water Crisis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flint_water_crisis https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/epa-grant-flint-water/ https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2016/05/03/fact-sheet-federal-support-flint-water-crisis-response-and-recovery https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/07/us/flint-michigan-water-bottle-program-ends/index.html www.fema.gov/disaster/3375 https://www.fema.gov/disaster/3375 https://abc11.com/fema-disaster-recovery-center-opens-in-fayetteville/4313439/ https://www.fema.gov/news-release/2018/06/14/sba-disaster-loan-application-deadline-june-18-over-16-billion-approved http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/15/AR2010031502291.html?noredirect=on Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7Fu-v490-c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRQv9xMQ3E0 RBG Links: www.rbgmovie.com https://www.oyez.org/justices/ruth_bader_ginsburg https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/08/gillum-desantis-trump-florida-governors-race/568882/ https://libguides.wlu.edu/c.php?g=601727&p=4166850 https://clp.law.harvard.edu/assets/HLS-Career-Study-FINAL-2.pdf https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/27/us/after-130-years-harvard-law-review-elects-a-black-woman-president.html https://www.nytimes.com/1989/06/16/obituaries/e-l-palmieri-federal-judge-is-dead-at-82.html https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/fifth_amendment http://law.jrank.org/pages/24813/Bolling-v-Sharpe--Due-Process-Requires-Equal-Protection.html https://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/stories/1997/10/20/focus1.html Mary Shelley Film: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3906082/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haifaa_al-Mansour https://www.facebook.com/Haifaa-Al-Mansour-163594010341305/ Sound effects courtesy of zapsplat.com and soundbible.com ==================================== Learn about becoming a Habeas Humor patron at www.patreon.com/habehumor Make a one-time contribution to Habeas Humor at paypal.me/habehumor Check out our Sub Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/habhumor/ Subscribe to Habeas Humor on iTunes: https://itun.es/us/sms5hb.c Subscribe on Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/habeas-humor Google Play: https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Ix4wxwinddfzxkzhlmgxajgkuie Email the show: HabeHumor@gmail.com Twitter: @habeashumor Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/habeashumor/ Please note that this podcast is for entertainment only and does not constitute legal advice or form an attorney-client relationship.

La directora saudí, Haifaa Al-Mansour, dirige 'Mary Shelley', el biopic de la creadora de Frankenstein, protagonizada por Elle Fanning
I take a look at the latest from WADJDA director Haifaa Al-Mansour. A literary romance that clunks when it focuses on the romance, but utterly shines on the literary front. Apologies for the awkward part here where I accidentially pause the recording and then um and ahhh for a while about if it's working or not. This podcast remains staunchly edit-free (even when it's to the detriment of quality). Ratings System: Longneck of Melbourne Bitter - an excellent film. Sublimely entertaining, meaningful or both. Pint of Kilkenny - a very good, highly recommended film. Stubby of Reschs - a good film and worth your time. Schooner of Carlton Draught - Not great aye. But perhaps an interesting idea or two. Schooner of Tooheys New - Shithouse

The tempestuous romance that inspired one of Gothic literature's most influential works is brought to life in 'Mary Shelley'. Starring Elle Fanning as the titular author, 'Mary Shelley' is the directorial follow up to 'Wadjda' from Saudi Arabian director Haifaa al-Mansour, and we were lucky enough to sit down with her to talk about her latest work.With a strong ensemble cast including Douglas Booth, Bel Powley and Maisie Williams, this rousing and exquisite biopic balances sumptuous period detail with a timely feminist message. The film is a vivid tribute to Shelley's passion, courage and craft – and a reminder of her enduring relevance today.Discussing the film are pod regulars Sam Howlett, Kelly Powell and Steven Ryder and after recently screening Al-Mansour's 'Wadjda' with the Despatch Feminist Moving Image collective, Amy Watts also joins the show.In the spirit of championing young, forward thinking and creative minds, we also reached out to the young women at South Hampstead High School and asked them to share their thoughts on the film, for the first edition of Curzon Blog section, the Young Feminist Film Club: http://www.curzonblog.com/all-posts/2018/7/6/young-feminist-film-club-mary-shelley Follow the team on Twitter:@SamHowlett_1 - Sam@irma_pep - Steven@amyvioletwatts - Amy@jakehcunningham - JakeProduced and edited by Jake CunninghamMusic from incompetech.com Hosted on Acast.

When Haifaa Al Mansour released Wadja in 2012 she became Saudi Arabia's first female director of a feature film. She has now directed her first English-language film - a biopic about Mary Shelley. Al Mansour talks why she wanted to make a film set in 19th-century England about the teenage creator of Frankenstein and how much film-making has changed in Saudi Arabia since her debut film six years ago. Based on the debut novel of Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl), Sharp Objects is a new HBO drama series starring Oscar nominee Amy Adams as a crime reporter forced to confront her own demons, directed by Jean-Marc Vallee (Big Little Lies).

På kjøpesenteret i det ultrakonservative kongeriket Saudi-Arabia finnes kleskjeder som H&M og Mango. Men det er stor forskjell på reklameplakatene her hjemme og der. Ingen smilende kvinnefjes. Møte hun som dro fra Norge til Saudi-Arabia på jobb -og saudiske Haifaa Al-Mansour som mener at det å dekke seg til er en trussel. Reporter: Hege Haug-Omre
Today we play a couple of interviews, one from the archives. We start with an interview with Haifaa Al Mansour, first female director in Saudi Arabia about her first feature length film, Wadjda, opening in the theatres Sept. 20 and Sept. 27, 2013. We conclude with an interview with Tiffany Mann, Blueswoman in San Jose Rep's production, up through October 6, 2013, One Night with Janis Joplin.
Cinema Royale host Travis Hopson sits down with director Haifaa al-Mansour, whose critically-acclaimed film Wadjda is the first ever by a Saudia Arabian female.
On the latest episode of Conversations, we sit down with the Saudi Arabia's first female director, Haifaa al-Mansour to discuss her upcoming coming-of-age story, Wadjda. The official Oscar selection from Saudi Arabia, Wadjda tells the story of an 11-year-old girl who dreams of owning a green bicycle. We'll have all that and more on the next episode of Conversations.
Mary Ann Sieghart profiles Haifaa Al-Mansour, Saudi Arabia's first female film director. Haifaa Al-Mansour directed the recently-released Wadjda, the first film entirely shot in Saudi Arabia. The film follows the dreams of an 11-year-old girl who is desperate to own a bike, and was partly inspired by Al-Mansour's early years, growing up in a small town near Riyadh. After working for an oil company, Haifaa al-Mansour decided to become a film-maker, using some of her 11 willing siblings to help her with her first short films. Her very first short film, 'Who', was about a serial killer disguised as a woman in a burka. She says she doesn't think women can change things in Saudi Arabia if they are "aggressive", but it's better to "have a career and pursue a dream." Producer: Helena Merriman.
With John Wilson. Wadjda is the first film from Saudi Arabia to be directed by a woman, Haifaa Al Mansour. It's the story of an 11-year-old girl who enters a Koran recitation competition in order to buy a bike with the winnings, even though women are discouraged from cycling and are banned from driving cars. Critic Shahidha Bari delivers her verdict. American writer Philipp Meyer's ambitious new novel, The Son, maps the legacy of violence in the western United States. When a young man is taken captive by the Comanches, he learns to adapt to their way of life before their tribe is destroyed by disease, starvation and an overwhelming number of armed, white settlers. Philipp Meyer discusses the breadth of scope - and the five years it took to research and write - of his epic 560-page novel. Starring trumpet soloist Alison Balsom, Gabriel opens at Shakespeare's Globe this evening. The play, set during the Glorious Revolution, showcases the music of Purcell through a combination of drama, instrumentals and songs. John talks to Balsom, as well as the play's director Dominic Dromgoole, about the project. Producer Karla Sweet.
Haifaa Al-Mansour är Saudiarabiens första kvinnliga filmregissör. I veckans Kino berättar hon om arbetet med sin hyllade film Den gröna cykeln. Suzanne Osten tittar på tv-serien Girls och pratar kropp och komplex tillsammans med Nina Asarnoj. Karin Arrhenius och Fredrik Edfeldt som gjort den nya svenska filmen Faro kommer till studion. Och så berättar Gunnar Bolin om sina upplevelser på Fespaco-festivalen i Ouagadougou i Burkina Faso - Afrikas största och viktigaste filmfestival. En ny app som skapar sex sekunder långa filmer, som sedan loopas i oändlighet. Ett nytt verktyg som befäster Ulf Malmros ställning som svensk films sociala medier-kung. Roger Wilson skaffade Vine i veckan. I helgen har Den gröna Cykeln premiär. Den första Saudiarabiska filmen som gjorts av en kvinna, och dessutom den första långfilm som spelats in i Saudiarabien. Ganska bra jobbat av regissören Haifaa al Mansour, i ett land där kvinnor och män lever skilda liv, kvinnor retuscheras bort ur Ikea-kataloger och inte ens får köra bil. Den gröna cykeln handlar om Wadjda, en tio-årig tjej som gärna vill ha en cykel. Problemet är bara att hon inte får cykla. Just för att hon är tjej och lever i Saudiarabien. Haifaa al Mansour har regisserat filmen om hur längtan efter en hoj utmanar ett helt samhälle. Och Lisa Bergström har träffat henne. TV-serien Girls har blivit motor i ett flera veckor långt flöde av debattartiklar och krönikor. Texter som påfallande ofta har handlat om seriens skapare Lena Dunham. Dock ganska sällan om det faktum att hon skriver manus, regisserar, spelar huvudrollen och producerar serien. Utan mest har det handlat om hennes vikt och bröst. Så ovanligt är det fortfarande att någon utan de perfekta måtten visas avklädd på tv. Vi på Kino är lite avundsjuka på SVT:s Tv-cirkeln där Johanna Koljonen, Linnea Wikblad och Nour El-Refai diskuterar varje veckas avsnitt av Girls, och bestämde oss för att hitta ett surrogat. Nina Asarnoj styrde stegen till teatergruppen Unga Klara i Stockholm för att prata om kroppar och Girls med konstnärliga ledaren Suzanne Osten. Ni som brukar lyssna på Kino vet kanske hur förtjusta vi var i den svenska filmen Flickan som kom för några år sedan. Nästa vecka har en ny film av manusförfattaren Karin Arrhenius och regissören Fredrik Edfeldt biopremiär. Faro, heter den. Och handlar på nytt om en ung tjej, men den här gången med en lite mer dramatisk inramning. Pappa och dotter är på flykt undan polisen, eftersom pappan är misstänkt för mord. De flyr långt in i skogen, där tiden liksom stannar upp och ett nästan magiskt tillstånd uppstår. Karin Arrhenius och Fredrik Edfeldt är veckans gäster i Kino-studion. Ni som lyssnade på Kino förra veckan hörde Gunnar Bolin rapportera direkt från Ouagadougou och afrikas största och viktigaste filmfestival Fespaco. Nu har han satt samman ett lite längre reportage om sina upplevelser i Burkina-Faso. Och vi börjar den 23 februari, på festivalens högtidliga invigning. Programledare: Roger Wilson Producent: Lisa Bergström
Yes. En kort filmfestivalspecial i filmbloggens podcast. Jag pratar med Kulturnyheternas reporter Anna Frey om Saudiarabiens första kvinnliga regissör Haifaa Al Mansour, som gjort filmen "Den gröna cykeln". Al Mansour gästar Göteborgs filmfestival för att berätta om situationen för en kvinnlig filmare i Saudiarabien - ett land som inte har någon filmindustri och där kvinnor inte får vistas utomhus. Dessutom pratar jag lite om den nya svenska filmen "Faro", från skaparna av "Flickan" från 2009.
