This week we take aim at The Archers! Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, masters of technicolor, had some significant play at early festivals, so we took a look at 2 of their biggest 1948's THE RED SHOES and 1951's TALES OF HOFFMANN. Joined by returning favorite Daniel Foster, we talk technicolor, the enduring power of opera, and Andy makes an incredibly unsettling personal revelation in regards to his ambitions. All this plus some early Cannes leaks!

Concert Documentaries get the spotlight as we turn to three movies heavily featuring David Byrne. In addition to enduring classic STOP MAKING SENSE and recent pandemic hit AMERICAN UTOPIA we zero in on a lesser-known title: CONTEMPORARY COLOR. Joined by Blank Check Researcher JJ Bersch, we look at Bill Ross IV & Turner Ross’s capturing of a crazy event merging Color Guard team’s routines with new music created by a wide range of contemporary music artists.

With another Berlinale in the rearview we look at the prizes given out at the German Fest this year. Will Hong ever win the big prize? What did M. Night contribute to the jury process? All given speculation. After that we take a look at Golden Bear winner Carla Simón’s first feature SUMMER 1993, touching on the Topic streaming service, child performances, and big endings.

Our prediction powers are here to amaze and astonish as we look ahead to some titles that Jesse thinks might figure into the upcoming Cannes lineup. Who will be in? Who will be out? It’s all cause for speculation! Not only that, but we take a look at the Oscar Nominees and how festivals figure into them, and peak at the SXSW film lineup for the year. All this plus an EXCITING KO-FI ANNOUNCEMENT!

Park City tourism was once again down, but that didn’t stop the power of the movies as "The Dance"(Sundance) has come and gone with another All Virtual edition of the festival. We talk the films, (including buzzy movies like AFTER YANG, SHARP STICK, and CHA CHA REAL SMOOTH), the award winners (Waldo Salt, shout out to ya), and, of course, the DEALS baby. All this, plus the Berlin Jury!

It’s that time of year, where we look ahead to the END of the year!. Passions flare, truces are made, concessions are granted as we come to a consensus on our Most Anticipated Film of 2022 and our secondary unranked list of the Top 10 Most Anticipated Films of 2022. Before that, though, the Berlin Lineup has been announced and we very groggily work through the competition and other lineups.

CIKI is back! We're kicking off a new year with a new user's guide to film festivals. The gang talks through the major (and a bit of the minor) festivals of each year, looking at their early history, the shape of their awards slates, and what the style and flavor of each festival has. From Sundance to New York, if you've ever been lost hearing us talk about any of these festivals, or you just want a brush up on how this world crosses over and shapes the film calendar, this is the episode for YOU!
