Poster signed by Arnold for Bruno Chatelin as a thank you token of fantastic Box Office records in France
I have been working with film festivals and helping filmmakers for the past 20 years in various capacities. There was only one big lesson I learnt in festivals: Cannes can work miracles for you, if you do the right thing with the right people : dare, work hard and be creative in each of your actions.

IFFI Goa 2025, 11: Film selection--The Good (rare), the Bad (many) and the Ugly (too many)
Beginning where I left off.
My Daughter’s Hair/Iran/2025/Hesam Farahmand
Curious and off-beat title, but only in the English version. In Farsi (Persian), it is named after its lead character, a girl called Raha. Even that could be a bit of a misnomer, because it is as much the story of Raha’s father and brother, as it is of Raha. Interestingly, another film in the competition section is ti...
Bhay trailer launch: PR Agency Moe’s Art hits record low, gags senior-most journalist
As a journalist writing about various media events and reviewing content, I am usually contacted by PR agencies via WhatsApp, when something is coming up. Some of them even send WhatsApp reminders, or even call me, to confirm my attendance. Not all journalists are favoured by all agencies. Some are boycotted and never invited, obviously because they do not agree to play ball or get manipulated, and, pe...
“From Shiraz to Seoul : An Iranian teenager’s journey through K-Pop in Ebrahim Amini’s K-Poper” © by film critic Lalit Rao (FIPRESCI) [lalitmax2022@gmail.com]
In an era where cultural borders are increasingly porous and global pop culture travels effortlessly from one corner of the world to another, K-Poper, the début directorial venture of Iranian filmmaker Ebrahim Amini, arrives as a poignant and timely story. Set against th...
IFFI Goa 2025, 10: Film selection--The Good (rare), the Bad (many) and the Ugly (too many)
Films that are screened at IFFI are selected by a large committee that takes several weeks to vet the available movies, entered in the festival. Each category of films has a different committee assigned to it. The Preview Committee (sometimes referred to as the Selection Jury) for the International Section at IFFI 2025, which selects the international (non-Indian) films that are screened at IFFI, compri...
IFFI Goa 2025, 09: Does IFFI need the media, or does the media need IFFI, that is the question
This is not the first time that media has been maltreated at IFFI. It will also not be the last time. The only way for media to avoid being humiliated and maltreated is to not go to cover IFFI as a media-person. It would appear that the media needs IFFI, and that IFFI does not need the media. Or, at least, it does not want media to be treated well. Cinema is a medium, and taught at hundreds of film-...
by Quendrith Johnson, Los Angeles Correspondent
So Quentin Tarantino just named his Top 10 Films of the 21st Century, as least that's what we think he did. The list, which we have cribbed from Screenmancer in LA, has so many flaws it is hard to believe it is authentic. Given Tarantino's upcoming Dec. 5 release of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, you wonder if it's just a grenade thrown into the Hollywood spin cycle? Either way, we borrowed a page from Screenmancer for the lowdo...
