Greenbird Flies To New Owner
Scotland’s Stv Studios has acquired the 15 companies operated by “Lego Masters” company Greenbird Media for £21.4 million ($27.3 million). Israel’s Keshet International acquired 60% of Greenbird five years ago. Stv Studios has now acquired 100% of Greenbird, including Keshet’s stake.
Greenbird founders, Jamie Munro and Stuart Mullin, will join the Stv Studios board in the roles of chief commercial officer and finance and integration director respectively, working alongside COO, Paul Sheehan, and under the leadership of MD, David Mortimer.
The deal boosts the number of labels within Stv Studios from nine to 24. As a result of the acquisition, Stv Studios now has expanded bases in Glasgow and London, as well as offices in Cardiff, Belfast, Brighton and Manchester.

In Berlin, principal conductor and Leonard Bernstein protégé, Lydia Tár, lives with her partner, concertmaster Sharon Goodnow (Nina Hoss) and their daughter Petra (Mila Bogojevic) in a cave-like, modern, tastefully impersonal apartment, while she keeps her old flat on the side as an office for composing and whatever else some people need a spare one for. Tár mistreats her doting assistant Francesca (Noémie Merlant), plays favourites, acts ruthlessly towards those in a weaker position, and is on constant prowl for new prey. Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s Petra von Kant and, by proxy, François Ozon’s Peter von Kant came to mind in several situations.

… what exactly? It’s an intriguing project, to have Blanchett declaim parts of 13 art manifestos, but the ideas fall curiously flat
Cate Blanchett slips into the skins of 13 characters in this emphatically experimental project from German artist and film-maker Julian Rosefeldt. In the guise of, among others, a news anchor, a vagrant, a puppeteer and a schoolteacher, Blanchett performs sections of artists’ manifestos culled from the likes of the dadaists, the situationists, Fluxus and Dogma 95. It’s an intriguing idea, visually arresting and intellectually confrontational. It is not without problems, however. It’s a device which brings out Blanchett’s more mannered tendencies, and as such it won’t appeal to everyone. And for all Blanchett’s forceful presence, by divorcing the texts from their original context, the film effectively neuters the writing and revolutionary ideas. The project was initially concieved as a multi-screen art installation. I think I would...

Blanchett plays 13 characters performing screeds by the likes of Marx and Debord in a hypnotically fascinating exploration of philosophy
There is a hypnotic fascination to this work by artist and film-maker Julian Rosefeldt, one of the few commercial films that explores the boundaries between cinema and installation, or cinema and video art. It owes this relative prominence to the presence of Cate Blanchett, who may be rivalling Tilda Swinton as Hollywood’s experimentalist and patron-muse.

A news anchor, a widow, a bearded drunk … Cate Blanchett’s new film sees the actor take on 13 personas in a script cribbed from 50 revolutionary texts. She and director Julian Rosefeldt explain why Manifesto is an artistic call to arms in the age of Trump
Here’s Cate Blanchett as you’ve never seen her before: as a bearded old man pulling a shopping cart through a post-industrial wasteland. In a drunken Scottish accent he/she proclaims: “We glorify the revolution aloud as the only engine of life. We glorify the vibrations of the inventors young and strong. They carry the flaming torch of the revolution!” Now Blanchett is a grieving widow telling a funeral congregation, “to lick the penumbra and float in the big mouth filled with honey and excrement”. Now she’s an American news anchor in the studio, talking to a reporter standing in the rain under an umbrella.

With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options — not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves — we’ve taken it upon ourselves to highlight the titles that have recently hit platforms. Every week, one will be able to see the cream of the crop (or perhaps some simply interesting picks) of streaming titles (new and old) across platforms such as Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, and more (note: U.S. only). Check out our rundown for this week’s selections below.
After the Storm (Hirokazu Kore-eda)
Can our children pick and choose the personality traits they inherit, or are they doomed to obtain our lesser qualities? These are the hard questions being meditated on in After the Storm, a sobering, transcendent tale of a divorced man’s efforts to nudge back into his son’s life. Beautifully shot by regular cinematographer Yutaka Yamasaki, it marks a welcome and quite brilliant...

After a jam-packed weekend of new Specialty releases last week, the tide continues with a full roster of new limited roll-outs just as the summer blockbuster season heads into full swing. The weekend’s largest Specialty debuts include Amazon Studios/Roadside Attractions’ The Wall by Doug Liman and starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson and John Cena, which will open in north of five hundred locations, as well as Bh Tilt’s Lowriders by Ricardo de Montreuil with Eva Longoria, Demián Bichir and Gabriel Chavarria with nearly three hundred runs. Sony Classics is going traditional with the New York and L.A. bow of Diane Lane starrer Paris Can Wait, which the distributor is hoping will tap a collective societal need to escape — in this case, to the French countryside. Cate Blanchett plays 13 different characters in artist-director Julian Rosefeldt’s Manifesto (FilmRise), which is based on his multi-screen installation presented in New York...

Every week, museums around the country host numerous art installations both new and old. Be it a simple one channel loop that may leave a viewer scratching their heads, or a rapturous multi-channel piece that bewilders as much as moves. However, very few, if any, of these pieces get adapted to a feature length film that finds its way into cinemas across the country.
Beginning such a rollout this week is artist Julian Rosefeldt’s new film, Manifesto. Adapting Rosefeldt’s beloved multi-channel installation of the same name, Manifesto stars Cate Blanchett as 13 different characters drawing from numerous artistic and political manifestos ranging from Dadaism to Dogme 95. Not necessarily set during the time period that correlates to the rise or formation of the specific art movements, Rosefeldt transplants these manifestos into the modern day. There’s Blanchett whispering about pop art while praying at the family dinner table, only to...

“I loved the movie,” I told Cate Blanchett.
“Is it a movie?” Cate Blanchett replied.
“Um…” I said, still shaking her hand.
“Really,” she said. “I was hoping you could tell me.”
In another context, that could have been a trick question. But I was meeting with the Artist Formerly Known as Carol to discuss “Manifesto,” and there are no easy answers when it comes to the her beguiling collaboration with German video pioneer Julian Rosefeldt (whom she met at a gallery opening six years ago and vowed to work with that same night). In fact, it could be argued that the movie — or not movie — exists to embarrass easy answers, to encourage critical thinking, to challenge our preconceptions of what art should be and what art should be called.

Take one Oscar-winning actor. Pair her with a German visual artist, one with a puckish sense of humor. Give her 13 different roles, including female archetypes ranging from a Southern housewife to a blow-dried broadcast newsreader, and pray that Cindy Sherman doesn't sue. And then give her some of the most (in)famous declarations of sociopolitical/artistic intent ever written – Marx to Maples Arce, Dziga Vertov to Guy Debord, Dada to Dogme '95 – to speak in lieu of dialogue, while totally in character. At this point, you are either breathing heavy...

A conservative mother leads her family in a lunchtime prayer on pop art. A tattooed punk screams about stridentism at a roomful of drugged-out partiers. A teacher stifles her students’ creativity with the harsh dictates of the Dogme 95 movement. Cate Blanchett, the preternatural shape-shifter who can slink into Bob Dylan or Katherine Hepburn with equal ease, embodies these and nine other souls in Manifesto, the art installation turned feature film from Julian Rosefeldt. Manifesto premiered in 2015 as a 13-screen sensory wonder at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image. The installation asks viewers to move from screen to […]...

Manifesto may require a cheat sheet. Indeed, press received one during a screening of the new film by German installation artist Julian Rosefeldt, which stars Cate Blanchett in 13 different roles. Actually, “roles” may not be precisely the right term. Blanchett plays archetypes—each existing in a different scenario—who recite, either in voice-over or as dialogue, the philosophies of various artists and thinkers. As a New York-accented broker, she talks up futurism, the early-20th-century, machinery-worshipping discipline. In the guise of a harsh, red-haired mourner speaking at a funeral, she discusses the anti-art of Dada. If you’re well-versed in art history, some of the arguments might be familiar. If you’re not, you may be a little lost. That could be the point.
Blanchett is as virtuosic as you might expect. The chameleonic quality she exhibited in I’m Not There (and in Coffee And Cigarettes, where she played...

Attempting to codify director Julian Rosefeldt’s Manifesto is like attempting to unify a mass of artistic movements into a clearly defined and coherent whole without contradiction. Which makes sense, as the apparent theme behind Rosefeldt’s film is that the nebulous nature of art defies definition or unification. In Manifesto, artistic movements interact with, react to, and undermine one another through the person of Cate Blanchett, who represents them on screen, and through the mis-en-scene that mirrors the essence of the words, just as the words mirror the essence of the art they describe.
Manifesto creates a loosely defined argument comprised of thirteen vignettes, all of them featuring Blanchett as the central character in a variety of roles from different social classes, ages, and professions (among them a school teacher, a punk, a grieving widow, an industrial worker, a socialite, and a homeless man). The monologues she speaks draw...

Cate Blanchett practically eats the camera lens in “Manifesto,” a feature by artist Julian Rosefeldt that began life as an installation at the Park Avenue Armory show in Manhattan. Blanchett plays 13 separate characters who deliver various manifestos, and these reach from Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels preaching on economics in the mid-19th century to rules for filmmaking delivered by director Jim Jarmusch in 2004. The surprise here is that Rosefeldt has managed to deliver an intellectually-charged, cheeky, and very funny film that feels unruly and expansive in spite of its tight 12-day shooting schedule and its focus on just one.

My first major job in the film industry was with 20th Century Fox International and City Fox Films in Amsterdam in 1975 which is when I first attended the International Film Festival of Rotterdam, three years after its founding by Huub Bals. It was much smaller then. Iffr’s logo is a tiger, loosely based on the M.G.M. lion as an alternative. From the beginning, the festival has profiled itself as a promoter of alternative, innovative and non-commercial films, with an emphasis on the Far East and developing countries.

Manifesto starts with a dictionary definition of its title, and pulls off the considerable feat of not being terrible after doing so. Still, I feel confident that it works better in its original form as an art installation. The film is more of a clip show, awkwardly cutting together elements once presented in a drastically different manner. In doing so, it obfuscates the power of a manifesto, allegedly what it means to pay tribute to.
As an installation, Manifesto consists of 13 screens in a space, each one projecting a different 10-minute film of Cate Blanchett reciting speeches cobbled from different manifestos on a similar theme. On each screen, she portrays a different character. As a (male) hobo, she quotes Marx. As a mourner giving a speech at a funeral, she talks about Dada. As a schoolteacher, she instructs her young students with Dogme 95 and Jim Jarmusch’s Golden Rules of Filmmaking.

Oscars, be damned. When a drag queen introduces you with, “Chauncey, if we could close down the cans and just do a very tight, tight, spot for this young lady,” that’s how you know you’ve made it.
Though Cate Blanchett has long been beloved by queer audiences for her androgynous look and what she can do with an arched brow, her most recent performance really sealed the deal. The “Carol” actress proved herself worthy of the title “diva” Monday night in New York City, when she thrilled a small crowd at the legendary Stonewall Inn with a surprise performance of Lesley Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me.”

Shall we take a moment to sing the praises of Cate Blanchett? The chameleon-like actress, heiress to crown of Greatest Living Film Actress currently worn by Meryl Streep, can seemingly excel in any role from Elfen Queen (Lord of the Rings) to oppressed lesbian socialite (Carol). Still, even the 13 separate roles in director Julian Rosefeldt’s 90-minute experimental feature Manifesto, which premiered at Sundance, must have given even her pause. The German director is a visual artist himself and the Manifesto project first began as an installation. Indeed, you could have caught the art piece at the Park Avenue Armory Museum...read more...

Call Me By Your Name Dear Josh,You asked me whether I’ve found my one film yet, the one that makes the festival experience worth remembering. And I’m pleased to report that with Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me By Your Name, I finally have. In fact, I was so taken with the film that I’ll dispense with the throat-clearing and get right to it. Set in an expansive villa “somewhere in Northern Italy” in the summer of 1983, the film centers on Elio (Timothée Chalamet), an Italian-American Jewish teenager, who spends his days swimming by the river, going out with friends, transcribing music and just “waiting for the summer to end.” It opens with the arrival of Oliver (Armie Hammer), a Jewish-American academic who's come to help Elio's father (Michael Stuhlbarg) with his research. His arrival is a disruption; it shakes Elio in ways that he probably never anticipated.

So far during her movie career, Cate Blanchett has done uncanny imitations of Katharine Hepburn and Bob Dylan, and has played characters ranging from queens to elves to identical cousins. But she’s never made a film quite like “Manifesto.” Stitched together from a gallery installation by artist/filmmaker Julian Rosefeldt, “Manifesto” sees Blanchett playing 13 different characters — with 13 different accents — in a series of tableaux that have her reciting passages from various fiery old artistic declarations of principles, from the Dadaists to Dogme 95.

Cate Blanchett doesn’t play 13 characters so much as embody 13 different ideas and approaches to 20th century art in Manifesto, German video artist Julian Rosefeldt’s feature-length version of his eponymous, multi-screen installation from 2015. The texts all come from art manifestos but are put in the mouth of often very surprising characters. The film thus features a homeless person raving about Situationism; a tattooed rock chick screaming about Stridentism; a funeral speaker extolling Dada — “From now on, we want to shit in different colors,” she intones — and a conservative mother delivering a prayer on Pop Art before the family’s...

Later this week, Lrm will be attending this year’s Sundance Film Festival. While the festival tends to be a mixed bag of indie films, some will be picked up for distribution by studios and turned into mainstream hits, others will flounder and be lucky to get a VOD release. Even so, there’s no denying that Sundance is the real beginning of the year for most movie lovers as we’ll be talking about the movies below for the next 12 months.
Last year alone, Sundance held the premieres for The Birth of a Nation, Manchester by the Sea, Captain Fantastic, Love and Friendship, The Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Sing Street and many more films, some that appeared on The Weekend Warrior’s year-end Top 25. One or two of those might even receive Oscar nominations when they’re announced next week on January 24.

German artist Julian Rosefeldt has been garnering acclaim for his work for a number of years but with his latest visual installation, he seems to have blurred and then crossed the line from the art world to the film world.
First presented in 2015, Rosenfeldt's Manifesto is a 13-channel film installation in which superstar actress Cate Blanchett plays thirteen different personas, each of which embodies and pays homage to different artist manifestos and according to the show's description "ultimately questioning the role of the artist in society today."
Now Rosenfeldt's project is making the jump from art installation into the film world.

In the first trailer for Manifesto, Cate Blanchett redefines chameleonic, playing everything from a homeless man to a newscaster, all while speaking the words of history’s great artists. Blanchett inhabits 13 different roles in Julian Rosefeldt’s project, which draws from various 20th Century manifestos. Viewers can draw their own conclusions how Blanchett’s characters correspond to the movement they espouse. As a stern choreographer she talks about Fluxus, Merz, and performance art; As a melancholy puppeteer she describes Surrealism and Spatialism.
Manifesto recently wrapped up a run at the Park Avenue Armory in New York. There, Blanchett’s visage was projected on giant screens. All the different Blanchetts echoed simultaneously and sometimes discordantly, before syncing up for a harmonic and hypnotic moment. A 94-minute film version is set to premiere this month at Sundance.

I've got a crazy trailer here for you to watch for Cate Blanchett's latest film project, Manifesto. In the film, Blanchett takes on the role of 13 different characters, and it's really strange seeing her in all these different roles. Each role is in a different vignette, all of which feature her characters reciting and performing scenes based on manifestos that have been written by artists, architects, and filmmakers.
Blanchett is an incredible actress and one of the few who would be able to effectively pull off this kind of filmmaking madness.
Tour-de-force: a term so overused that we need an undeniable acting performance to renew its meaning for cinema. Cate Blanchett has just given us one, going all-out in Manifesto. Already respected as one of the best actresses in film, Blanchett raises the bar even higher by playing 13 different roles in Manifesto, embodying some of the most influential and emotional artist manifestos in history.

A trailer has debuted for Manifesto, a feature film version of an epic video installation project featuring 13 different characters reciting manifestos written by famous artists. Cate Blanchett stars in the 13 different vignettes, which feature characters reciting and performing scenes based on manifestos written by artists, architects, and filmmakers. The film is premiering at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival coming up, but was also on display in New York and Berlin before. I've actually already seen all these segments individually, and they're incredible. Blanchett is phenomenal and brings so much nuance to each and every performance. This is more of an experimental art film than a narrative feature, but it's worth watching just for Blanchett alone.

After an incredible last year giving a career-best performance in Todd Haynes’ Carol, Cate Blanchett‘s 2016 was a bit more subdued, popping up in two Terrence Malick projects, one in theaters and the other other on the festival circuit with just her voice. While she’ll be in another this year, along with her Marvel debut, Sundance brings what’s sure to be the biggest display of her acting range yet.
Manifesto, which debuted as a multi-screen art exhibition back in 2015, has been turned into feature film form by Julian Rosefeldt and features Blanchett taking thirteen (!) different roles. Ahead of the Sundance premiere, the first trailer has now arrived, which gives us a taste at the wide-ranging characters Blanchett inhabits here, kicking off with a homeless person and concluding with a punk. We’ll be mighty curious how this transition from art gallery to silver screen goes, so return for our review from Park City.
