Five Inspirations is a series in which we ask directors to share five things that shaped and informed their work. The series Love Me, Click Me: Films by Eugene Kotlyarenko is now showing in most countries. The mini-retrospective of my work currently showing on Mubi has allowed me to reflect on the early days of my filmmaking journey and the people and work that inspired me along the way.Inspiration #1Directing the Film: Film Directors on Their Art (1976) by Eric ShermanDirecting the Film was a book my brother got me on my 13th birthday. Comprised of interviews with seminal directors, it's organized according to the filmmaking process. My key takeaway was that there's no right or wrong way to make a movie. Artists figure out their own path and methods. I've returned to it many times over the years.Inspiration #2Working with Agnès VardaA few months after I moved out to LA,...

Paraguayan filmmaker Paz Encina’s “Eami” – being sold by MPM Premium – has won the top Tiger Award and a €40,000 cash prize at the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR), the festival announced Wednesday. The 51st edition of the Dutch event, forced online due to the Omicron wave, will wrap on Sunday.
The jury, made up of Zsuzsi Bankuti, Gust Van den Berghe, Tatiana Leite, Thekla Reuten and Farid Tabarki, was impressed with her complex, magical realist take on the suffering of the indigenous tribes, calling it a “powerful film.” “It gave us the opportunity to dream and, at the same time, a chance to wake up,” they stated.
Inspired by the stories of the Ayoreo-Totobiegosode people, as well as their mythology, Encina created a tale about a young girl who embarks on a journey after her village is destroyed.
“All my films deal with an issue of exile, of the diaspora,...

Paraguayan, French and Chinese features among winners.
Paz Encina’s ecological drama Eami has won the Tiger Award, worth €40,000, at the 51st International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR).
The jury said the Paraguayan drama placed a spotlight “on the global massacres of indigenous tribes”. The film depicts the violence committed against the Ayoreo-Totobiegosode people, who lived in the Northern Paraguayan Chaco but were displaced by rampant deforestation.
It marks the second narrative feature of Paraguayan auteur Encina, whose 2006 debut Paraguayan Hammock won the Fipresci prize when it premiered at Cannes in Un Certain Regard.

Don’t expect a cute Pixar movie or a quirky Dreamworks adventure from Lawrence Lek’s newest CGI-animated film. To write a review of Lawrence Lek’s Aidol is almost like writing review of an exhibition instead; Lek brings a level of “experimental” into CGI animation that perhaps even Adult Swim would be afraid to tread. But perhaps that’s only fair for Lek. First an artist and musician, London-based, Chinese-Malay Lek has long screened his multimedia films and installations within contemporary fine arts venues like the Venice Biennale, the Kw Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin, and renown art institutions across the Eurasia. This time, he screened Aidol at the Rotterdam as one of the selections of the Iffr Bright Future Main Programme.
For what the plot is worth, Aidol is about superstar singer Diva’s dream to be a legendary artist in the fast-paced, Sino-futuristic virtual world. Diva is...

Above: JokerWas it really that big a surprise—for some even a sensation—that the main awards of the 76ª Mostra internazionale d'arte cinematografica di Venezia went to Todd Phillips' Joker (Golden Lion) and Roman Polański's An Officer and a Spy (Grand Jury Prize)? For weren't these the films most talked about before—and among the most widely discussed cum (mainly) celebrated during the festival proper? This was arguably one of the better jury decisions in years, a decision decidedly in favor of cinema as an art for and of the masses with the potential of making serious amounts of people ponder, maybe look differently at what they thought and believed (in) so far—though film did not have all the answers.Besides: This pair perfectly sums up the main themes and concerns addressed in the competition as well as some of the outstanding films to be found in the...

Few topics in video game circles elicit more groans than the debate about whether games should be considered artworks. Advocates for games want to see them garner the same cultural recognition as books, films, or paintings, and use “art” as shorthand for achieving that status. But in the rush to declare “Super Mario Bros.” a great work of art, we may be skipping over the intricacies of both how artists who may or may not think of themselves as game developers are using games in their work and how less mechanical “interactions” in and around games construct a complicated cultural significance for the still young artform.
The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago’s new exhibition, “I Was Raised on the Internet” isn’t a video game art show, and yet the concept and impact of games are all over the place. “In broad terms, this exhibition is about how the...

Grand openings (hello CityCenter!) and unfortunate closings (rest in peace I.D.) circled the last non-Holiday week of 2009. Need a gift? Act fast (you have until midnight) and you could win a Nook e-reader on us!
The tech world was abuzz Wednesday when news broke that the FTC was suing behemoth Intel for "running roughshod over the principles of fair play." Intel responded: They just don't get us! And when prototypes of the upcoming Google Phone (Nexus One?) leaked, we wondered if it would be too expensive to be worth it.
The world said hello to the massive City Center development (67 acres!? 2.7 million square feet of glass!? 78,000 tons of structural steel!?) in Las Vegas and our own Alissa Walker was on the scene, hanging out with the architects and checking out the spectacle.
