On paper, the 76th Cannes Film Festival looks like an embarrassment of riches, assembling no shortage of big guns in terms of major-name filmmakers.
Pretty much every list of hotly anticipated titles will be topped by Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, an epic Western crime drama based on David Grann’s nonfiction book about the murder of Indigenous Americans on tribal land in 1920s Oklahoma. Likewise, it seems redundant to include Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, given the legions of fans already jostling to watch Harrison Ford crack the whip one last time in James Mangold’s conclusion of the beloved action-adventure franchise.
New works from celebrated filmmakers are simply too numerous to cram into a rundown of just ten titles, so their absence here should not be misinterpreted as lack of interest.
That includes Ken Loach’s story of tensions caused by the arrival...

Sydney, Jan 23 (Ians) Australia womens skipper Meg Lanning stated the players are united within for their support of Ashleigh Gardner after the off-spin all-rounder criticised Cricket Australia (CA) for scheduling second T20I against Pakistan on January 26, citing it being an uncomfortable scenario for the Indigenous community.
Ashleigh, a Muruwari woman hailing from the Indigenous community, said through her social media accounts on Sunday that it was not appropriate for Australia to be playing the second T20I against Pakistan at Hobart on January 26.
January 26 is marked as the day the first fleet arrived in Australia in 1788, which is seen as a “day of hurt and a day of mourning” for Indigenous Australians.
“We’ve had a lot of discussions as a group around the game. We’re fully supportive of Ash and her stance and her feelings and views around it. It’s something that we can’t control...

LGBTQ characters appeared in a higher percentage of films in 2020 than ever before, according to a new study from GLAAD. The study also found more of those characters were people of color, and more of them than ever had a substantial amount of screen time.
GLAAD’s annual Studio Responsibility Index found that of 44 films from eight major studios released throughout 2020, 10 of them, or 22.7%, had characters who identified as gay, lesbian, bisexual or queer. That percentage is up from 2019, in which only 18.6% had LGBTQ characters.
But for the fourth year in a row, GLAAD found that transgender characters and non-binary characters were completely absent from major studio theatrical releases, with the organization saying that the film industry greatly lags behind TV when it comes to representation in this regard.
2020’s theatrical releases were completely thrown out of whack due to the pandemic, with movie theaters closed across the country for...
