1. “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life” (available November 25)
Why Should I Watch It? Capping America’s year of nostalgia, Netflix is finally releasing the much-anticipated “Gilmore Girls” revival. Told in four 90-minutes segments, the new episodes will reunite the stars and creator of the early aughts favorite, similar to recent continuations on Netflix and elsewhere. Needles to say, anyone who visited Stars Hollow before is quite eager to see where on the ‘member berries spectrum “A Year in the Life” will fall: the high of “Stranger Things” or the low of “Fuller House”?
Best Episode: From what we’ve seen of the new footage, things are looking good for Amy Sherman-Palladino’s fresh stories. That being said, we haven’t snagged a screener of any episodes, so we’re on pins and needles with the rest of you.

Exclusive: Colombian outfit Caracol Television has also invested in the project from the Embrace Of The Serpent director; first look at Pedro Aguilera’s Sister Of Mine [pictured].
Ciro Guerra’s upcoming Birds Of A Passage (Pajaros de Verano), the follow-up to last year’s Cannes Directors Fortnight triumph and Oscar submission Embrace Of The Serpent, has secured a sales agent and key investor.
Films Boutique will begin talks with international buyers in Cannes this week as it emerged that Colombian giant Caracol Television has invested in the project – as it did on Embrace Of The Serpent under its initiative to support features – and taken TV rights.
Producers Cristina Gallego of Ciudad Lunar and Katrin Pors of Blond Indian Films have lined up principal photography for early 2017 in northern Colombia.

I love getting IndieWire’s Cannes Wish List. IndieWire's commentary on each film is interesting in and of itself. I find myself remarking "I didn't know that!" at every other entry. My former Tipped for Cannes Report (when FilmFinders was my company) was one of my most popular reports because film buyers and programmers could immediately hone in on their targets. So, in keeping with tradition, I pulled together the list Screen International (Si) and blogger ion (he did a lot of research for this!) published in February just after the Berlinale and am now going to compare it with Iw’s. My links for the title are to IMDbPro and for the contact either to the seller (Isa=International Sales Agent) or the producer.
After this, I will track which of these land in Cannes, which in Toronto, Venice, etc.; which get acquired by whom (to be gathered together...

New logo. New website. New artistic director. Olivier Pere exited to become the head honcho at Locarno, so the Director's Fortnight, also known as La Quinzaine des Réalisateurs, will be Frederic Boyer's baby this year. The mandate will remain the same, but will the tastes differ? Pere's legacy includes some of my favorites over the past decade such as Corneliu Porumboiu's 12:08 East of Bucharest... - New logo.

- I’ve been reading articles in Screen Daily and THR about the current state of Korean film industry, how auteurs filmmakers are having a terrible time in seducing local audiences and thus getting proper funding, and now the current vague of producers are actually shifting production money towards international productions – a trend I don’t see as a particular threat. The Kim Ki Duks and the Pen-Ek Ratanaruangs will always make films that are for a select crowd, and if they continue to explore their themes with the same visual flair then a more broader audience will keep giving them work. It’s an odd mathematical solution...but it works. Below you'll a pair of Asian films (Singapore and Japan) that are curious selections for Cannes comp and certain regard categories. On the Menu: Yesterday's main courseMy string of great back to back viewing has suffered a minor blow.

- Yesterday I came close to tearing up and it might be the sentimental favorite for the jurors for this fest. It’s got a pulse, feels less artificial than similar in theme films like the award-winning The Sea Inside and it is void of any moralistic take. Look for Julian Schnabel’s Le Scaphandre et le papillon to score big on Sunday – of course it has got Van Sant’s film and perhaps Fatih Akin’s latest to contend with. Unless your name is Michael Jackson, the stinker so far for me in this festival is Harmony Korine’s Mister Lonely. I wanted to walk out after 20 minutes – although the best part comes with Werner Herzog comically playing some priest…and that occurs somewhere in the first 25 minutes. Korine has his fans but I wonder what players like Diego Luna and Samantha Morton saw in the screenplay. On that
