I found it interesting that though we’ve talked about these figures so much in history, this film reminds us that there’s still so much we really don’t know about their legacies. That’s the danger of people becoming icons is that they’re both familiar, but it’s also possible to keep them at a distance. When I first wrote the play version of this, one of the big things that inspired me and when I started writing, it was like, as a reminder to not just myself, but the young people I was writing it for, that these were young men when this all happened and these guys accomplished some of these amazing feats. People always say that great movements are often started by the youth. But I was hoping that people really would understand that this is an example of that. I think with our icons often we see them as untouchable and we can never be them. We can never do what they did. I hope with the film, the younger people can see this and be like, yeah, I can … [Read more...] about Kemp Powers’ ‘One Night in Miami’ Sheds Light on the Civil Rights Movement

“It was a lesson in humility to be accepted by a group of people to know that whatever currency I have earned as an actor didn’t make any difference if I couldn’t pull my rig, if I didn’t know how to take a dump in my five-gallon bucket,” McDormand said, adding, “It takes a lot of courage to commit to the life and I’m really humbled by it.” … [Read more...] about ‘Nomadland’ Star Frances McDormand Reveals Her Dream to Hit the Road at 65

Now it’s up to these two girls, whose blooming friendship is one of the movie’s greatest pleasures, to rescue Moll (captured by the Lord Protector at some point off-screen) and convince Bill that perhaps he’s fighting for the wrong side. The earlier “Pocahontas” comparison is apt in that regard, as both films depict the colonizing force as cruel and insensitive to the indigenous culture they’ve come to dominate, an idea that our own Lord Protector has described as an effort “to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values and indoctrinate our children” — to which I say: Indoctrinate away! … [Read more...] about ‘Wolfwalkers’ Review: What Big Eyes You’ll Have Watching Tomm Moore’s Environmental Fairy Tale

I don’t know that there are similarities. I know that directing, as an actor, one thing you have as an advantage is that more so than even some of the biggest directors in the world, you most likely have been on more film sets than them. As a director, it takes two to three years to make a film, and as an actor, you could have made six, seven maybe eight films in that time. And every time you’re on a film set, it’s another learning experience. And so you’re going in at a bit of an advantage, especially when it comes to crew etiquette and working with actors and just the dynamics of being on a film set. … [Read more...] about David Oyelowo Explains How Acting Helped With His Directorial Debut on ‘The Water Man’

It’s a very difficult feeling being a migrant and watching from afar. I get depressed, frustrated and miserable. And you want to talk about things that Colombian society is really interested in talking about and needs to do so in order to move forward, they will kill you or threaten you and your life begins to be martyrdom. Or simply they’ll close the doors because in Colombia, even if some topics are talked about, there’s a conscious and unconscious pressure not to discuss certain topics, which we have to shed light on. Otherwise, we won’t be able to move forward and it is a historical mistake to focus solely on Bogota, Cali, Medellín or Barranquilla: Colombia’s much bigger. We have a debt to multiple communities and multiple stories that we haven’t told in Colombia. … [Read more...] about TIFF Filmmaker Lab Talent Jorge Cadena Talks About Indigenous Queer Project ‘Tropical Malady’
