In a bustling Boston café, Charlie is instantly smitten with Emma, who is quietly reading a novel. He approaches her, gushing about the book, only to realize she hasn't heard him.

Bad Girls creators Maureen Chadwick and Ann McManus had a fiery belief in social justice and did rigorous research. Those are often the foundations of successful serial drama.

"[Bias] is that thing that stops you being regarded as a person and makes you something smaller. With my accent, I've had that experience where I'm suddenly no longer a person with infinite possibilities and potential - I am 'that Scottish person'. I'm reduced to a noise that comes out of my mouth."

Anticolonialism, Ontology, and Semiotics draws upon Africana anticolonial philosophy-especially the work of Frantz Fanon and two of his most influential interpreters, Eldridge Cleaver and Sylvia Wynter-to develop a basic analytical model for doing anticolonial political theory. I wanted to show that there is something distinctive, something special, to be found in this tradition of thought that has not been fully appreciated by philosophers and theorists in other fields.

I remember seeing it in drama school. I remember being so profoundly moved by it. I remember being so frightened by the performances in terms of seeing both sides to the thing that I think for most of us is, the most alive thing in our life, which is these, like, romantic relationships and the kind of inception of those things and the death of those things.

Davidson, a professional photographer and owner of Glasgow-based Studio Snap, is celebrating his strongest trading year to date, with revenues up more than 70 per cent in 2025. The surge follows his memorable appearance on series two of The Traitors, which turned him into a familiar face for millions of viewers, and, unexpectedly, a powerful brand amplifier for his business.

Facing the end of his life thanks to an unspecified terminal illness that should have shuffled him off his mortal coil 18 months ago, this Steve bobs around the coast meeting up with crew members (always complaining they need more kit) and actors who are officially dead (Jacobi and Townsend's characters) – not that this means they still can't be cast.

10 Cloverfield Lane Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman and John Gallagher Jr are locked in an underground bunker for the majority of this left-field sequel to Cloverfield, with thrilling results. In the film's final throes, Winstead's character exits the bunker, and finds that her captor was telling the truth about an alien invasion above - a twist that completely and ruinously dissipates the hard-earned tension that came before.

"On that bleak hill-top the earth was hard with a black frost, and the air made me shiver through every limb," so wrote Emily Brontë. In a story studded with untameable lust, unbreakable love, fierce tempers and shocking acts of revenge, perhaps the most faithful aspect of Emerald Fennell's latest film, "Wuthering Heights", to its 1847 novel is the tempestuous depiction of the remote English countryside. The Yorkshire moors, to be exact.

Through the atmospheric lens of New York-based photographer Geordie Wood, a short film called " Divers " glimpses a day in the life of an elite high-diving camp. A moody yet bright setting evokes the way sun still glares when tucked behind clouds or glints off the surface water, and individuals are alternately silhouetted and spotlit by its glow. With cinematography by Adam Golfer and editing by Luke Lorentzen,

After spending the last Knives Out entry on a billionaire's private Greek island, master sleuth Benoit Blanc's latest mystery Wake Up Dead Man takes him to a remote parish in upstate New York to solve the murder of a priest (Josh Brolin). It's a classic locked door mystery, with Brolin's monsignor stabbed mid-mass in a closet a few feet from his pulpit.

A quarter-century later, it's safe to say that those days have come to an end. Not only does the streaming-only Netflix of the twenty-twenties no longer transmit movies on DVD through the mail (a service its younger users have trouble even imagining), it ranks approximately nowhere as a preferred cinephile destination. That has to do with a selection much diminished since the DVD days

Some years ago, Akinola Davies Jr received a short story written by his brother Wale, who was then living in Nigeria and working as a screenwriter for TV. The result of a writing exercise, Wale Davies's story was titled My Father's Shadow. "He sent it to me, really unprompted," Davies Jr remembers. "I cried, as you can imagine, because our father passed when we were really young. I would have been 20 months and I think he would have been about three years old." That story would become Davies Jr's Bafta-nominated debut feature My Father's Shadow, a magical portrait of two young brothers enjoying a rare day out in Lagos with their beloved, enigmatic father, told from the boys' perspective.

I was a struggling filmmaker. I was trying to find myself and it wasn't happening. I was ready to give up on filmmaking as I was about to turn 30. I didn't feel like I could do this to myself, my family and friends any longer. I was living in South Austin making the minimum amount of money, eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and making bad art. But then Sundance gave me my career with this $3 short film that we submitted to the festival on a lark.

Filmmaker Simplice Ganou, from Burkina Faso, spends his time documenting people and relationships, but when he travels to Winterthur, Switzerland, he faces a new challenge: nobody wants to talk to him.

It's supposed to be a good thing, isn't it: finding something that got lost? But what if that lost thing isn't just a pair of sunglasses but a whole entire boat, the likes of which hasn't been seen for 30 years? In Mark Jenkin's forthcoming Rose of Nevada, out June 19, the title refers to said missing ship, once lost only to now drift back into the harbor of the remote fishing village whence it disappeared.

"The film was shot in Ultra Panavision 70 with lenses that yielded an aspect ratio of 2.76 to 1, and it was breathtaking," Scorsese said. "But it wasn't just the size of the image, it was the imprint of the man behind the camera who knew how to fill that frame, how to compose it. And composer seems like the right word to describe George Stevens and the extraordinary level of artistry he reached at that point in his life and career."
