Cinema is, beyond a doubt, a form of art. Telling stories that resonate with audiences and inspire them to do and be better, the best films can have an incredibly positive and poignant impact on the world around them, inspiring us to feel and care about characters and causes.
As with any form of art, good movies deserve a place where they can be showcased and enjoyed, in the same vein as paintings in an art gallery or statues in a sculpture park. This is an opportunity that film festiv...
Poster signed by Arnold for Bruno Chatelin as a thank you token of fantastic Box Office records in France
I have been working with film festivals and helping filmmakers for the past 20 years in various capacities. There was only one big lesson I learnt in festivals: Cannes can work miracles for you, if you do the right thing with the right people : dare, work hard and be creative in each of your actions.
HERE IS THE DETAILED STORY OF A 40M $ HANDSHAKE TO ME FOLLOWING OUR SUCCESS...

The Sunset Limited
Television movies are rarely as noteworthy as cinema releases, but The Sunset Limited is every bit as good. Written by author extraordinaire Cormac McCarthy, ba...

Many individuals remember stoner movies with fondness. These flicks dealt with cannabis and the accompanying lifestyle. They are entertaining and always good for some laughs. Here's a look at three movies and the history of stoner flicks.
History
Film experts say a true stoner movie must have weed in the plot. Further, one of the main characters must be a smoker. Indeed, these movies brought cannabis use out in the open. In the 1930s, the motion picture industry banned depictions of dru...

The classic gambling movies out there are many, too many if we are to be factual. But we have succeeded in digging through the archives to come up with the names that are seen as the best 10 gambling movies ever created. Now, you have to know that many gambling movies are not in this list, and you may not even agree that the ones that made this list are the best. We understand that. However, we tried to bring in gambling movies that cover the entire spectrum - from sports betting to casinos. I...

The 2020 Cannes Film Festival won’t look like the Cannes Film Festivals of previous years for obvious reasons. There won’t be a central gathering of thousands of people in one place, and so it won’t have the same sense of ceremony and importance that it’s had in years past. It is, however, still going ahead in one form or another - and there are still films that the festival’s artistic directors intend to highlight. Because they’ve been kind enough to share ...
Among the eccentrics and cult personalities in the stranger-than-fiction world of big cat owners, few stand out more than Joe Exotic, a mulleted, gun-toting polygamist and country western singer who presides over an Oklahoma roadside zoo. Charismatic but misguided, Joe and an unbelievable cast of characters including drug kingpins, conmen, and cult leaders all share a passion for big cats, and the status and attention their dangerous menageries garner. But things take a dark turn when Carole B...
Many great things came out of the 90s. The Tamagotchi was a hit around the world, as people fought to keep their digital pets alive.
Beanie Babies became a craze, with people spending absurd amounts of money in the hopes of selling them for even more in the future. AOL’s dial-up internet was how millions of people connected to the internet, being serenaded to the harsh tones of their modem as it connected.
People started wearing their baseball caps backwards, Appl...

Dear SIFF Community,
We announced just over a week ago that due to the coronavirus crisis, we closed the cinemas and canceled the 46th Seattle International Film Festival(planned May 14 - June 7, 2020).

Throughout the years gambling and especially the casino environment has inspired many writers and movie makers providing us with many storylines that captivate our imaginations.
The chance to win life-changing fortunes, maybe risking everything to do so draws the viewers, as does ‘getting one over’ the big (and quite often corrupt) big guys sets the scene for some really entertaining hours, and of course there is that luxurious feel to many successful movies where the beau...

Festive flicks like Last Christmas have been hugely successful at the box office, but the biggest movies aren't always the best.
Christmas films are in higher demand than ever before.
There’s one problem, though: the recent ones just aren’t very good.
Take Last Christmas, the Paul Feig-directed romantic comedy starring Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding, which was released in November.
Despite being panned by the critics the George Michael-inspired flick has been...
