The end of the decade has spurred reflection on what defined the last ten years in cinema as streaming wars commenced and the future of the theatrical experience was further questioned. It’s still too early to deduce such matters with any long-lasting clarity, so for now, I’ll take a look back at my perspective on the previous year in cinema.
Before we get to new films, my favorite few days inside a cinema in 2019 was at The Nitrate Picture Show at the George Eastman Museum and one can see my 100 favorite new-to-me films throughout the year. After the staggering first viewings of the sprawling masterpieces Berlin Alexanderplatz, Sátántangó, War and Peace, Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler, Les Vampires, and Celine and Julie Go Boating,...

"Football and Chola will capture your heart." Grasshopper Film has debuted an official Us trailer for the acclaimed documentary Los Reyes, a Chilean film about two dogs who love at a skate park in Santiago.

The film also played at numerous other festivals last year and this year, and is getting a small theatrical release starting at NYC's Film Forum this August. The film is entirely focus on and all about these two doggos: Chola and Football, a couple of street dogs that live in the Los Reyes skatepark.

“I’ve been saying for years that summer festivals should promote summer releases,” says Tiziana Rocca, who launched the fest on the island of Sardinia in Italy last year.
Italy’s push for summer releases is the result of a joint effort between the studios and all sectors of Italy’s film industry, largely prompted by the government that recently got all sides to sit at the table and agree to remove this anomaly that was causing...
