Official Trailer for 'Animals in War' Ukrainian Film Featuring Sean Penn

"Did you see a cat run by?" 🇺🇦 Omnibus Entertainment & Film Movement have debuted the official trailer for an indie anthology feature called Animals in War, a sad look at how war harms animals of all kinds. This is not really a documentary, but more of a feature containing many segments of short films written & directed by Ukrainian filmmakers. Of course, Sean Penn is involved and stars in one of the films. It first premiered at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival last year and opens on VOD in June to watch at home. Tribeca's intro explainsmore about it: "the film serves as a haunting yet deeply moving call for global awareness and empathy. Featuring a white rabbit, a wolf, a cow and other animals as central figures of each story, the film employs a range of artistic styles to explore the war's often overlooked ecological impact. Through these powerful vignettes, this film is a compelling work that highlights the widespread devastation wrought by the conflict and issues an urgent plea for compassion, reflection and action." This is quite beautiful to see but it just makes me so sad to see how much harm this incredibly stupid war in Ukraine is causing. It's just awful. // Continue Reading ›

Watch: 'Ozu in Color' Video Essay - About Yasujiro Ozu's Use of Color

"Life is an unknown course. The only constant is change." 🎥 How does a black & white filmmaker shift into color and what choices does he make with color in his films? These are the key questions at the core of the mesmerizing and inspiring new video essay created by Every Frame a Painting. Created & edited by Tony Zhou and Taylor Ramos, this new video essay is titled Ozu in Color and it examines the work of prolific Japanese filmmaker Yasujiro Ozu (best known for his B&W masterpiece Tokyo Story). This movie history essay analyzes Ozu's later films that were shot in color (everything made after 1958). At first they examine how he learned color theory and developed his color style between his first two color films: Equinox Flower (1958) & Good Morning (1959). Then dig deeper into Ozu's cinematography choices and what it all means, resulting in the rather intriguing idea that: "Ozu found a way to make color feel objective." Not only is this video essay a fascinating exploration of why cinematography choices are so important in cinema, but now I just want to dive in & watch literally every film featured in here, and spend time with all the people in them. // Continue Reading ›

First Trailer for Bruno Dumont's Film 'Red Rocks' Premiering in Cannes

"We don't really care, right?" Let the kids play! The Film Stage has revealed the first look trailer for the film titled Red Rocks, the latest creation from the mind of singular French filmmaker Bruno Dumont (he last made the sci-fi The Empire). This is premiering this month at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival playing in the Directors Fortnight sidebar where they're also hosting a retrospective on Dumont's filmography so far. Red Rocks is a feature (not a doc!) about a group of kids getting into trouble on the Cote d'Azur. On the French Riviera, the film chronicles the rivalry between two gangs of kids, locals and summer visitors, competing in the perilous game of cliff jumping. Their story turns into a "Romeo and Juliet"-style romance, a game of life, love and death. The film has a documentary vibe, using lots of wide-angle lenses. "A world where friendship blends with rivalry, and where the first stirrings of the heart emerge against the dazzling Mediterranean landscape." As the kids: Kaylon Lancel (Géo), Kelsie Verdeilles (Eve), Louise Podolski (Manon), Mohamed Coly (Rouben), Alessandro Piquera (B), Meryl Pires (Do). Looks superb! Will be a fun one. // Continue Reading ›
