Days after its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival and moments before the Tellruide Film Festival audience was afforded the opportunity to watch his new film “Poor Things,” director Yorgos Lanthimos was not in the mood to preview the racy project. When Lanthimos was asked by filmmaker Karyn Kusama what he wanted to tell the packed Werner Herzog Theatre about his new movie with Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo, the three-time Oscar nominee and Telluride Silver Medallion tribute recipient seemed almost injured by the sheer thought of providing some hype. Instead, he suggested that everyone speak after the 141-minute had concluded.
A smart move, because it’s likely nothing Lanthimos could have said would have prepared Telluride viewers for “Poor Things,” a lavish, hilarious, and sex-positive exploration of a woman’s maturation process in a world seemingly created to rob her of agency at every turn. Based on the...

“Rain in My Head” was the big winner at the 10th annual Easterseals Disability Film Challenge, taking honors for best film, director Chrissy Marshall and actor Layne Apffel.
Also saluted were Nathan Cox, editor for “Smash or Pass”; Rachel Handler, writer, “Unlucky in Love”; and Judith Rubin and “Leap of Love” for best awareness campaign.
The winners were announced May 4 at an orange-carpet ceremony and reception at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City.
For the competition, registered filmmakers were given five days within a designated timeframe to write and produce short films (three-to-five minutes) promoting disability inclusion. Every year’s contest has a theme, and this year it was romance, which resulted in a wide range of viewpoints on the topic.
There were a record 115 submissions, from nearly every U.S. state and from around the globe, including entries from Austria, Bolivia, Canada, England, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, India, Ireland,...

Jennifer Msumba took the best-film prize for her “The Fish Don’t Care When It Rains” at the seventh annual Easterseals Disability Film Challenge, which streamed live Aug. 13. Scott Michael Klumb (“Autism Ability”) nabbed the award for editing, while Rachel Handler was saluted for creating the best awareness campaign for the healthcare-themed “How Much Am I Worth?”
This year, there were a record 87 films submitted, a big jump from the 71 last year. The event was termed “Home Edition,” with films made “from the safety of your home,” said Challenge founder Nic Novicki, who served as the event’s host.
Participating teams had one weekend to write, shoot and edit a three-to-five-minute documentary short, with someone with disabilities behind or in front of the camera. In the past, each filmmaker was assigned the same genre to work in, such as sci-fi last year. Due to Covid, the rules were changed this...

The Dissolve was one of the best places on the web for writing about film, and Keith Phipps, Scott Tobias, Tasha Robinson, Noel Murray, Genevieve Koski, Nathan Rabin, Matt Singer, Rachel Handler and all the rest who have contributed were among the best writing about the movies today. With the site “dissolving” this week, we mourn the loss of some of our favorite writing anywhere and discuss the future of film criticism as the writers themselves see it. Plus, we talk the big news out of Comic-Con and have quite literally a Wtf of the Week.
