Greta Gerwig will receive the DIRECTOR OF THE YEAR AWARD at the Palm Springs International Film Festival on January 5, 2024.
Actress, writer, directer Greta Gerwig will be the first American woman to head the 77th Cannes jury. I remember first seeing Greta at the SXSW film festival where she appeared in a “mumblecore film”, and credits the festival for giving her, her start in the business.

If you love beautiful things and you want to be moved, you must see PINA, the documentary by Wim Wenders.

These two films got
big audience responses last week at the AFI Film Festival in Los Angeles.
“Pina,” a 3-D documentary
about the legendary German choreographer Pina Bausch, starts with her
re-envisioning of Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring” as a thrilling discovery of
female sexuality. The film jumps—you cannot gently segue away from “Rite”—into
other dances she choreographed, along with brief interviews with her dancers.
When Wenders voices that this is no...
