RuPaul Leads The Way On BBC Three Return
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Versus The World led the way on BBC Three’s return to linear TV after a six year break last night, securing five times more viewers than any other show. The spin-off format, in which queens from around the world compete, was viewed by 350,000 people from 9pm-10pm, according to Barb data from overnights.tv. It was way ahead of reality format Eating With My Ex (70,000) from the previous slot, while the Launch Party managed just 28,000. The RuPaul spin-off will air for the next 10 weeks and comes off the back of the huge success of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, which has aired for three seasons and is widely recognized to be BBC Three’s most popular non-scripted show.

Paraguayan filmmaker Paz Encina’s “Eami” – being sold by MPM Premium – has won the top Tiger Award and a €40,000 cash prize at the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR), the festival announced Wednesday. The 51st edition of the Dutch event, forced online due to the Omicron wave, will wrap on Sunday.
The jury, made up of Zsuzsi Bankuti, Gust Van den Berghe, Tatiana Leite, Thekla Reuten and Farid Tabarki, was impressed with her complex, magical realist take on the suffering of the indigenous tribes, calling it a “powerful film.” “It gave us the opportunity to dream and, at the same time, a chance to wake up,” they stated.
Inspired by the stories of the Ayoreo-Totobiegosode people, as well as their mythology, Encina created a tale about a young girl who embarks on a journey after her village is destroyed.
“All my films deal with an issue of exile, of the diaspora,...

Paraguayan, French and Chinese features among winners.
Paz Encina’s ecological drama Eami has won the Tiger Award, worth €40,000, at the 51st International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR).
The jury said the Paraguayan drama placed a spotlight “on the global massacres of indigenous tribes”. The film depicts the violence committed against the Ayoreo-Totobiegosode people, who lived in the Northern Paraguayan Chaco but were displaced by rampant deforestation.
It marks the second narrative feature of Paraguayan auteur Encina, whose 2006 debut Paraguayan Hammock won the Fipresci prize when it premiered at Cannes in Un Certain Regard.
