A documentary from the Netherlands outlines the journey of fishermen as they continue to fish and live life in a long lost profession. The Hollandse Niewe, or commonly referred to as the Dutch New Herring, is a type of fish that is found in the region and is known to be a cultural tradition to feast on. The problem? As beloved as the fish are, the number of ships have diminished to just two as the passion for fishing has left with the new generation.
Director Hetty Naaijkens-Retel Helmrich spoke to us about the film and what problems she and her co-director, Leonard Retel Helmrich, had to deal with while filming the documentary. Having won the 2004 Martha Bering Award for Dutch Women in Film and Media, Hetty Helmrich has gone on to be a cultural icon for all women everywhere as well as win several other awards for previous documentaries she also filmed.

Any cinematographer worth his salt is probably already aware of “Raw Herring,” which may not sound appetizing to everyone (with onions? serve ‘em up …) but is a miraculous exercise in the art of the camera. It may also serve as a breath of fresh air to audiences fed up with the sterile artifice of so much CGI-driven cinema. Leonard Retel Helmrich, the Dutch-born director with Indonesian roots (his sister, Hetty Naaijkens-Retel Helmrich, usually his producer, has co-director credit here) is a much-honored documentarian, notably for his trilogy “Eye of the Day,” “Shape of the Moon” and “Position Among the Stars.” But he’s also a cinematographic magician: In charting the course of Netherlands fishermen harvesting the year’s first haul of Dutch New Herring (a traditional delicacy in Holland), Helmrich does things that seem to defy physics -- while firing the imagination about what’s possible with a camera. The opening shot,...

Filmmaking is a family affair for brother and sister duo Leonard Retel Helmrich and Hetty Naaijkens-Retel Helmrich. Hetty’s son Jasper has worked for them, editing their last two films, "Position Among The Stars," which won awards at Idfa and Sundance and was acquired by HBO. The three are back with their latest,"Raw Herring." What's it about: Much of Holland’s identity is shaped by raw herring: fishing for it, selling it and eating it raw – with chopped onions. "Raw Herring" is a portrait of the only two Dutch boats left that catch herring and process it on-board, showing how the fishermen hang on to century-old traditions and passing them on to their young sons who join them on board. What else should audiences know?: "They will have a chance to spend some time with the captain and his crew on the two ships: their physically demanding work,...

The Writers Guild Awards is a precursor and an indicator of what scripts you can expect to see at the Academy Awards. Every year sees its share of surprises, snubs, terrible and obvious (sometimes together) choices. This year Young Adult, The Descendants, 50/50, and Bridesmaids are all nominated for awards. However, films like The Artist are getting snubs. But before you can say that the movie had no dialogue, it did have a script, therefore it was possible that it could have been nominated.
The nominations for Original Screenplay are spot on, but it’s a few of the Adapted Screenplays I don’t agree with. While The Help did provide some excellent performances, I can’t say too many good things about the script itself. I am still on the fence with the script for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

The best original screenplays of 2011, according to the Writers Guild of America, were comedies -- or at least spiked with healthy doses of humor.
You could argue whether Diablo Cody's "Young Adult" is really a comedy or a drama with some funny parts, but her WGA peers have judged it one of the best of the year. The other original screenplay nominees -- "50/50," "Bridesmaids," "Midnight in Paris" and "Win Win" -- also lean toward laughs.
The adapted screenplay nominees, on the other hand, are all dramas, including "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" and "The Help."
The full list of films nominated for the 2012 WGA Awards is below. The TV nominees, which were announced in December, are here.

Pencils down!
The Writer's Guild of America has announced its nominees for the year's best screenplays, and Oscar dark horse "Bridesmaids" continues to pick up awards season steam after netting a nod for Best Original Screenplay.
Meanwhile, not unlike the director's films themselves, Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" keeps chugging with understated distinction among a playing field of more colorful candidates as it squares off against not just "Bridesmaids," but "50/50," "Win Win" and "Young Adult."
In general, this year's Original Screenplay competition seems largely comprised of up-and-comers, or at the very least, folks who are still largely outside the traditional Hollywood crowd.
"50/50" marks scribe Will Reiser's first produced screenplay, and even though Tom McCarthy contributed to the script for "Up" and previously wrote and directed his first two features, "Win Win" is an art house rather than commercial triumph. At the same time, the independent circuit is where...

Award nominations from the major guilds are always the best indicators of possible nomations for Oscars. Earlier this week we saw the Producers Guild choices [1], and now we've got the Writers Guild of America nominations [2] for achievement in 2011. Steven Zaillian scored two nominations (for Moneyball and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) and Woody Allen got his 20th WGA nomination for Midnight in Paris. The full nomination list is after the break. What you'll likely notice isn't so much what is nominated as what is not. While there are some films that people will be very happy to see on the lists (almost the entire 'original screenplay' lineup, for instance) there are also quite a few great films and recent awards faves that didn't make the cut, such as The Artist, Martha Marcy May Marlene, Beginners, and more.

Comedy might not get an respect from the Oscars, but writers love to laugh, judging from the Writers Guild Awards nominations announced today. All five nominees for Original Screenplay were comedies, led by Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris and Annie Mumolo and Kristen Wiig’s Bridesmaids. Toss in Tate Taylor’s The Help and The Descendants from Alexander Payne, Nat Faxon, and Jim Rash, and you have an awards slate connected by a common funny bone. Another Oscar favorite with a sense of humor, The Artist, didn’t make the cut, though likely only because it was ineligible (as was The Iron Lady,...

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) announced their nominations for outstanding achievement in writing for the screen during 2011 today and comedies ruled the day in the Original Screenplay category and I don't see many surprises in the Original Screenplay category, though these nominations should always be looked at with one thing in mind... The WGA only recognizes screenplays written by WGA members or under productions that are signatories to the guild's Minimum Basic Agreement. What does that mean? Well, as Kris Tapley at HitFix indicated back in early December, screenplays in the original category that didn't qualify for consideration included The Artist, Beginners, The Iron Lady, The Lady, Like Crazy, Margin Call, Martha Marcy May Marlene, Melancholia, Rango, Shame and Take Shelter. As for adapted contenders, scripts for Albert Nobbs, Carnage, Drive, Jane Eyre, My Week with Marilyn, Sarah's Key, The Skin I Live In and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy were all ineligible for nomination.

The big guild nominations are underway, giving light to the likely Oscar nominations set for unveiling later this month. We’ve covered Producers and Art Directors, and now the Writers Guild of America have released their nominations. One of the biggest snubs in terms of Oscar favorites was War Horse in the adapted category, but 50/50, Bridesmaids, Young Adult and Win Win have all been cemented as Oscars contenders when it comes to original screenplay. It is surprising to see Steven Zaillian‘s poor adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo get some love, but I believe the adapted screenplay Oscar will easily go to Alexander Payne and Nat Faxon & Jim Rash for The Descendants. Check out all the noms below via THR.

The Los Angeles Film Festival has announced the world premiere of Richard Linklater's Bernie as the opening night film for the 2011 festival.
The film will kick off the festival on June 16 at Regal Cinemas Stadium 14 at L.A. Live. It is written by Skip Hollandsworth and director Linklater and stars Jack Black, Shirley MacLaine, and Matthew McConaughey.
The film follows a beloved mortician (Black) from a small Texas town, even winning over the town's richest, meanest widow (MacLaine). Even after Bernie commits a horrible crime, people still will not utter a bad word against him.
"We're thrilled to be opening the Festival with the world premiere of this delicious black comedy - a treat from one of the most original and exciting voices in independent film, Richard Linklater," said Festival director Rebecca Yeldham.
