Without a doubt, Live With Kelly And Mark showed a new side to co-host, Mark Consuelos. While Kelly Ripa was out gallivanting around, Mark was the king of the castle. After her return, Kelly was bombarded with surprising bachelorisms that haunted their home in her absence.
Mark Consuelos And Kelly Ripa Give Each Other Space
During a recent episode of Live With Kelly And Mark, Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa reviewed their weekend activities. Although the couple just celebrated twenty-eight years of marriage, they at times take little breaks from one another. Just recently, Mark took an extended vacation to go see their Italian soccer team play for a huge win! Over the past weekend, that was the case with Kelly taking time away instead. While Kelly was taking in fabulous food and fashion over the weekend, Mark was left behind.

Now in its 26th year, the Scad Savannah Film Festival continues to train students to become the next generation of artisans.
Through careful programming, fest executive and artistic director Christina Routhier and her team have expanded their lineup. Says Routhier, “This year, we’ve added more directors, producers, casting directors and animation — [as well as] working on the 10 Artisans to Watch series.” She continues, “Our students are so eager to learn and to hear from all these differing voices in the film and TV industry. Their reaction and what they get out of it is probably the most rewarding part of my job.”
Among the films screening this year: Hayao Miyazaki’s “The Boy and the Heron,” Bradley Cooper’s “Maestro,” Ava DuVernay’s “Origin,” Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla” and Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things.”The list of honorees includes: DuVernay, receiving the Virtu- oso Director Award; Emerald Fennell (“Saltburn”), who will be honored...

The Savannah College of Art and Design has announced the full lineup for the 26th annual Scad Savannah Film Festival, taking place in person October 21–28, 2023.
This year, the festival will kick off with the opening night screening of Netflix’s “Nyad” on Saturday, October 21. Directed by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, the film recounts a riveting chapter in the life of world-class athlete Diana Nyad, hitting on themes of tenacity, friendship and the triumph of the human spirit. Starring four-time Academy Award nominee Annette Bening as the former sports journalist who, at age 60, began training to complete the 110-mile trek from Cuba to Florida that’s often referred to as the Mount Everest of swims, and two-time Academy Award winner Jodie Foster as her best friend and coach Bonnie Stoll, “Nyad” also happens to be the Best Documentary Feature Oscar-winning Vasarhelyi and Chin’s narrative directorial debut.

One of the pleasures of a TV festival is bringing people who love television — and work in it — together in one place. After two years of holding a virtual event due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Atlanta-based festival is back in person to connect students and fans with talent from both above- and below the line. The 2023 festival will take place Feb. 9-11.
“We are so excited to be back on the ground in Atlanta for this year’s Scad TVfest, offering our students and patrons the opportunity to engage with some of the most creative and successful people in the television industry through screenings, master classes, panels and more. We are proud to premiere some amazing new TV shows and, of course, shows shot in Georgia,” says Christina Routhier, executive director.
Scad president and founder Paula Wallace adds, “This year, Buffy, Darryl, and Jamie Dutton star in the greatest show about television: Scad TVfest!

Savannah, Georgia, is home to the largest university-run film festival in the country. The aspiring directors, producers and below-the-line techs at the Savannah College of Art and Design have shown that they can draw big-name films and awards contenders to their corner of the South, and this year marks a quarter-century of the fest. To celebrate, Scad founder and president Paula Wallace and festival director Christina Routhier reminisce to THR.
What makes Scad stand out in the landscape of film festivals?
Paula Wallace Last year, we presented Kenneth Branagh with a lifetime achievement award — but showbiz being showbiz, moments before the presentation, there was a hitch. I stood backstage, preparing to introduce Sir Kenneth to the crowd, and he was nowhere to be found. I tiptoed over to stage left, where The Honeybees, a performance group at the school, were preparing a number,...

When the entertainment industry hit pause in 2020, Georgia’s only television festival was forced to make the same change that so many did, readjusting its annual Scad TVfest into a virtual event. Not only did that event go on without a hitch, it became a tremendous success, and made the team realize that it was a trend they want to continue after the pandemic ends.
“After presenting TVfest virtually for the first time, we were amazed with the reach, interest and attendance on a global scale,” says Christina Routhier, executive director of Scad Theaters and Festivals. “The format allowed for industry leaders, prospective students, even our special guests and honorees to participate from locations all over the world.

After being shut down last year by the pandemic, Savannah College of Art and Design is returning to an in-person format this year for its annual Scad Savannah Film Festival, which runs Oct. 23-30.
The fest will also have a virtual component. Student filmmakers are turning out to volunteer in numbers that have “happily surprised” and exceeded the expectations of Christina Routhier, longtime executive and artistic director of Scad theaters and festivals.
“We have had such a great turnout and all of our volunteer meetings, and I think we’re going to be just fine,” Routhier says. “In regards to volunteer numbers, it hasn’t been as much as it has in years past: we have at least 400 to 500 volunteers where we would normally have 600 to 700. But our screenings are scaled back, we’re only at half-capacity in our theaters and we’re not doing any kind of concession [stands] — we...

Scad Savannah Film Festival prides itself on involving the students at Savannah College of Art and Design in almost every aspect of its annual event, from welcoming talent on the red carpet to weighing in on cinematic programming. This year, while the fest, running Oct. 24-31, goes virtual in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, this tradition of inclusion remains alive and well. Just as they were in pre-covid America, Scad students are integral to the fest’s collective sense of diversity and community.
“I really appreciate the festival for consciously including content and guest speakers with diverse backgrounds,” says Elina Itugot, a junior pursuing a Bfa in film and television. “I cannot stress enough how important it is to see people like yourself represented and recognized in the industry, especially as a young filmmaker. As a 20-year-old, queer, non-binary, Filipino immigrant filmmaker with mental illness, I find it very...

Films by and centering around women will be showcased among the 159 films — 35 narratives, 15 documentaries and 109 shorts — at the 22nd Scad Savannah Film Festival. Following an Oscar year in which they were shut out, more than 50 selections — many in awards-foreshadowing categories — are directed by women.
“I remember being at the Savannah Film Festival with Reed Morano,” says Olivia Wilde, Scad’s 2015 Spotlight Award recipient and producer-star of Morano’s “Meadowland.” “That was her directorial debut, and I was so profoundly proud to see her stepping into this role and getting to connect with her audience in that way.”
At this year’s festival, for which organizers expect 63,000 attendees from Oct. 26-Nov. 2, Wilde will receive Scad’s Rising Star Director Award for her directorial debut, “Booksmart.”
“It feels like female filmmakers are taking up more space,” she says. “We’re still only 15% of the Directors Guild, which has to change, but festivals...
