that’s what jenkins told us when steve weintraub caught up with her at the wonder woman junket, and it puts her on something of a streak. wonder woman is jenkins’ first time returning to the big screen after her oscar - winning feature debut monster, and for the record, that film didn’t have any scrapped sequences either .

of course, being an older single woman still brings some negative attention. “when i tell certain people i’m single they’ll say ‘ahhhh’ in a really sympathetic way, as if i’ve just told them i’ve got breast cancer, ” laughs helen. melanie adds: “i think the external pressure tends to come from other women, as if they’re trying to justify their own stories to themselves. whereas men often say to me ‘you’re so lucky’ or ‘i’d love to be single again’. ”

hollywood made its very first $ 100 million film in 1994 with true lies, directed by james cameron. in the 22 years since, the industry has seen an explosion of films (335 to be exact) that have cost nine - digit sums to make, but not a single woman of color has been at the helm of one until now. earlier this year it was announced that the selma director ava duvernay would make a wrinkle in time, an adaptation of madeleine’s l’engle’s beloved children’s book of the same name. that in itself—a woman of color directing a major disney film—was a significant accomplishment. but on wednesday, the california film commission shared a list of projects that would receive tax credits, confirming that a wrinkle in time ’s production budget would total at least $ 103 million .

it’s fitting that the first woman of color to helm a $ 100 million film has also been a lot of other “firsts”: the first black woman to win best director at sundance, the first black female director to be nominated for a golden globe, and the first to have a film nominated for an oscar. (a wrinkle in time, out next year, will star another, even more monumental achiever of “firsts” in oprah winfrey .) duvernay is now enjoying momentum in her career that will likely help her smash plenty of other barriers, showing studios that women and people of color belong—and have always belonged—in the director’s chair .

it was hard to sit and watch that film as a piece of entertainment when it felt more like a documentary on my life. i was contacted ages ago by the film’s researchers and i told them to feel free to use whatever they wanted from my blog. although my experiences are certainly not unique, there were a lot of scenes in the film where the similarities with my life were uncanny .

women were in the movie game from the very start. the first woman to direct a film was almost certainly alice guy - blaché, who worked for gaumont in paris. she began to make films in 1896, and that same year she directed la fée aux choux (the cabbage fairy), which might be the first fiction film ever made. she had a successful career at gaumont, which included directing la vie du christ in 1906, a lavish 30 - minute biblical story involving 25 sets and hundreds of extras. she moved to the us, where she founded her own production company, solax, and continued to make films into the 1920s, when she returned to france to write and lecture on film. you can find out more about guy - blaché on the women film pioneers website and in a forthcoming documentary, funded by kickstarter .

ken loach has taken a simple and straightforward story and pushed it to quite a sophisticated level. the film makes you sit up and think about how we survive, how civilised we are, and how we civilise ourselves. it had me in tears at moments. there was a lot of sniffing around me in the screening room. it’s a tough film and it might spin people out a bit, but i think it’s definitely an important one to see .
so she started carrying out her own research. “i found there are such huge benefits to staying single. women, especially, are more likely to enjoy solitude than men are. single women find being alone is a wonderful time for restoration, creativity and personal growth. and there are so many more opportunities to create the life you want, such as travelling, following your passions and doing meaningful work. ”
overall, though, the women are keen to stress that it’s not necessarily better to be single than coupled up – it’s down to what suits you. “it’s not being in a relationship or being single that will make you happy, it’s what you do within that space that counts, ” advises melanie. “even if you don’t necessarily choose it, it doesn’t mean you’ve ended up with second - best. ”

the film is well worth a look, if just for the performances; just know going in that director mills calls upon his cast and script to do most of the heavy lifting .
i think this film is up there with ken loach’s best. it’s powerful and raw, and of all his work i don’t know if i’ve watched something with such an emotional punch. it’s a searingly honest and brutal portrayal of ordinary people living on the breadline. i really admire how un - showy it is: it’s very simplistic in its storytelling and i think that’s the film’s power. i think no other film - maker would want to make a film about these characters. you’d pass daniel blake in the street and not notice him, and yet ken loach has turned the camera round and moved me to tears with it, and made me angry .

take a look behind the scenes at kirschenbaum productions as we gear up for our latest film look at us now, mother! along with the other exciting projects we are currently working on .
in a meticulously researched script written by paul laverty, loach’s collaborator for 20 years, blake, a widower, has had a serious heart attack. what follows are his struggles with the benefits system and his growing friendship with a single parent, katie, and her two children. after two years in a london hostel, katie has been moved 300 miles to newcastle because, allegedly, there is no housing in the capital – a city with 10, 000 empty homes .
you can sense the overwhelming research that has gone into it: all the form - filling in the jobcentre and that hypocrisy is brilliantly realised. it’s a shocking and important film, because this is the state that a lot of people in the country are in. with everything that’s gone on with brexit, a lot of that was a protest vote. the world of this film is connected to that – it’s a film about austerity. it wears you down as a viewer: you feel like you’re on that journey with daniel, and you feel an overwhelming frustration about his plight. there’s a beautiful line in it that says, “when you lose your self - respect, what have you got? ”, and i think that’s really what the film is about – identity. and about how no matter who you are or where you come from or how much you earn, that you need to have recognition and a place within this world .
in 1915, the motion picture supplement published an article headlined “women’s conquest in filmdom”, which said: “one may not name a single vocation in either the artistic or business side of its progress in which women are not conspicuously engaged. in the theatres, in the studios and even in the exchanges where film productions are marketed and released to exhibitors, the fair sex is represented as in no other calling. ”

kate siegel, who co - wrote the screenplay with the director, mike flanagan (also her husband), stars as maddie, a fiercely independent single woman who & apos; s been deaf and mute since a childhood bout with meningitis. a novelist by profession, maddie lives in a rural house with few neighbors (uh - oh) but is in regular contact with her sister (emilia graves) via facetime. the one neighbor she does have, sarah (samantha sloyan), is also a friend, coming over often to hang out and practice her sign language (even though, like all deaf characters in movies, maddie is an expert lip - reader) .
sia' s powerful song reflects the film’s underlying message will be included in the wonder woman soundtrack, that also features the original score by rupert gregson - williams. “to be human is to love / even when it gets too much / i’m not ready to give up, ” are the mighty lyrics belted out in the heart of the song, adding to the dynamic and inspiring beat .

a film review on friday about “finding vivian maier, ” a documentary about a street photographer who never exhibited her work, referred incorrectly to her use of her negatives. she did in fact print some of her work; it is not the case that she did not print any of it .
hush is a tense, breathless horror film full of things we & apos; ve seen before but can never get enough of when they & apos; re done well, including a kickass heroine, an inherently frightening premise, and a creepy stalker in a white mask. it also has a few terrific things we don & apos; t see very often, like an awareness of how modern technology actually works and a deaf lady defending herself with kitchen knives. so really, there & apos; s something for everyone in the film, which will be available on netflix april 8 .
11. it took upward of 40 people to film three. with such a simple set and just three dancers wearing one look, you never guess that many hands were on deck .
we still had a full crew ,
gatson remembers .
we had a camera, a dolly, a crane. i would say it was at least 30 to 40 people on set .
the women in film finishing fund gives grants to filmmakers working in both short and long formats, in all genres — narrative, documentary, animated and experimental .
during the summer of 1979, a santa barbara single mom and boardinghouse landlord (annette bening) decides the best way she can parent her teenage son (lucas jade zumann) is to enlist her young tenants - a quirky punk photographer (greta gerwig), a mellow handyman (billy crudup) and her son' s shrewd best friend (elle fanning) - to serve as role models in a changing world .
the film, which he directed with charlie siskel, is absorbing, touching and satisfyingly enjoyable because maier was a fascinating, poignant and somewhat enigmatic woman. as the title suggests, the filmmakers take up mr. maloof’s search for his mystery woman (complete with an unnecessary show - and - tell shot of someone typing her name into google), framing her as a riddle to be solved. with mr. maloof playing m. c. and sleuth, he and mr. siskel follow much the same arc that runs through the better news accounts about maier. it’s a breezy, perhaps overly tidy narrative ornamented with her work and packed with interviews with some of her old charges and their parents. some of the darker reminiscences are in sharp contrast to the movie’s upbeat tone and relentlessly jaunty music .
the film' s greatest strength is its specific set of characters. while no big events or personal crises happen, no one seems two - dimensional or thin .
tavares (brothers arthur, ralph vierra, perry lee, antone and feliciano) were backstage at a madison square garden show when the bee gees approached them with more than a woman and said they thought it would make a good cover for them. and they weren' t wrong - this version charted at number 32 on the us billboard hot 100 and number seven on the uk singles chart .
i don’t feel the film was over the top at all. if anything, i think they were a bit kind to the dwp. obviously there are decent people who work there; it’s just that they’re so constrained by red tape and automatic responses. as the film shows, as soon as anybody tries to step outside of the regime to be helpful, they’re penalised for it .
if there’s such a thing as a wild ride into the heart of darkness, this is it .
synopsis: frank and michael explore a beach, a diner, and contrasting perspectives on life after a night out on the town in this philosophical comedy .
it makes me want to go and find a big wall and project this film on to it so as many people as possible see it. it needs to be shown in the house of commons and i’m going to start a petition to get it shown on the bbc .
2. the iconic single ladies dance is not a beyoncé original. gatson admits it' s based on a dance performed on the ed sullivan show in 1969 .
me and beyoncé saw it, and we thought,' wouldn' t it be great to modernize this?'
he says. the two videos' resemblance is uncanny :
fifty years ago, ken loach was the young director of cathy come home, a bbc1 play for today, filmed in documentary style and watched by 12 million. cathy, her lorry driver husband, and two children, live happily in a flat. he has an accident and loses his job, so they move to lodgings, a caravan, a hostel. cathy becomes a single parent and her children become homeless. social workers finally take the children into care. the public were moved and enraged .
while warner bros. made a swift decision this week to hire patty jenkins as its new “wonder woman” director, industry insiders are still chattering about why original helmer michelle maclaren suddenly vanished from the project. the studio is declining to elaborate on the cliched “creative differences” joint statement that was issued when the two parted [ … ]
not all single women are on their own out of choice, of course – some simply haven’t met someone they want to commit to. melanie, 53, a lawyer at a publishing firm, always envisaged herself settling down with someone because – unlike bella or helen – she knew she wanted children. “the pressure was on me to find a relationship so that i could be a mother. however, i never found one that i felt was worth sticking with in order to have a child, ” she recalls .
as well as raising money from sales of the single, x factor boss simon also set up a donation page, urltoken, where people can contribute to the charity fund raising money for those affected by the devastating fire at grenfell tower last week, in which 79 people are dead or missing presumed dead .
the asian network of documentary (and) fund is a loose coalition of film festival organizers committed to supporting the production and distribution of asian documentaries. there are funds for specifically korean films, as well as asian documentaries in general .
explaining to the mirror why he' d felt compelled to organise the single, simon, 57, said :
i felt how everyone felt when they saw the news. i was angry, upset, thinking what the hell do you do ?
let’s start with the obvious. if the plot of a will smith movie sounds kind of like seven pounds, you know trouble is a - brewin’. seven pounds is, of course, the movie where a grief - stricken will smith commits suicide by sharing a bathtub with a jellyfish. in that film, sad will smith spends the entire runtime atoning for killing someone while driving and texting. it’s po - faced, grim and dull. just like collateral beauty it has a needlessly convoluted plot .
i thought the film was very moving. it was good at showing how difficult life can be when you don’t have any income, and how not having money is really debilitating, to the point where it makes you sick. it’s interesting to see the film against the backdrop of this neoliberal society, where money is seen as the thing to strive for and build your ambitions around. the film seems to suggest that those hopes and ambitions which you can’t buy, which don’t relate to money, are not lauded or appreciated enough in our society .
the documentary nods in the direction of some rich issues, including who gets to sanctify work as art, and why. it’s a thread that has additional resonance, given that everyone’s a critic on the internet, which is where maier’s work was not just first publicly seen but also anointed. there’s another undercurrent here about her status as an artist (partly because she didn’t formally study art) and even questions about photography’s status as an art (a hoary theme that emerges because she didn’t print all of her own work). time and professional pronouncements will decide if she was an outsider artist or just an unorthodox one who, as a single 20th - century woman, found freedom, her voice and her own private bohemia while under cover of other people’s bourgeois domesticity .

at least “woman in gold” quickly produces an enticing visual hook by opening with the creation of the central object of contention: “the portrait of adele bloch - bauer, ” the shimmering jewel of a painting by gustav klimt that inspires the film’s title and functions as a muse that hauntingly hovers over the proceedings. this so - called “ mona lisa ” of austria—the subject of which was maria’s aunt, whose husband owned the piece after she died years before the war—ended up being the main tourist attraction in the collection hanging in vienna’s belvedere museum. no way would the government nor the institution’s overtly snide curator portrayed here let maria have her way without a protracted fight .

it’s not even a real fantasy film! it’s someone making will smith think he’s in a fantasy film. that extra layer of artifice is not necessary, and actually harmful to your ability to enjoy collateral beauty. as every negative review has pointed out about this movie, this might be the cruelest trick ever played on a grieving fictional character in the history of drama. but it gets worse! big willie styles starts going to a grief support group and falls for the head of the group, played by naomie harris. this is going to completely ruin this movie if you have some sick notion of seeing it, so fair warning .
