It took a while, but finally the complete and final 2010 Black Harvest Film Festival in Chicago has been announced. Over 40 movies in every category from feature film to shorts, documentaries, dramas (such as Bilal’s Stand pictured), comedies and everything else in between. All the films will be screened at the Gene Siskel Film Center in Chicago located at 164 N. State St in the heart of downtown Chicago.
Opening night is Friday August 6th and the festival continues throughout the month until Thursday Sept. 2 with a special advance screening of Tanya Hamilton’s Night Captures Us with Ms. Hamilton present. Of course I will be there too on most nights, so if you ever had the desire to punch me out for any of my articles on S & A now here’s your chance. (Not that I encourage it though…)

War And Russian Cinema, London
This week marks the 66th anniversary of the end of the siege of Leningrad, one of the most destructive episodes of the second world war, and honouring the occasion is a trio of films at the Lumière on Russia's painful wartime experience. Leading the way is the premiere of Leningrad, an epic, beautifully acted tale from deep inside the 900-day Nazi siege of the city, in which two women (Mira Sorvino and Olga Sutulova) cope with the continual threat of death, starvation and violence. It's followed by a Q&A session with director Alexander Buravsky. The other entries are Mikhail Kalatozov's 1957 Palme D'Or winner, The Cranes Are Flying, which concentrates on the psychological damage the war inflicted on the Soviet psyche, and 2001's Stalingrad-based sniper movie Enemy At The Gates starring Jude Law, Joseph Fiennes and Ed Harris.

- If Tiff were a person, they'd be There Will Be Blood's Daniel Plainview. The festival drains out festivals like Venice and Cannes - major suppliers of quality films, and North American audiences benefit tremendously getting a first op to see the latest from Jaco Van Dormael, Lars von Trier, Claire Denis, Michael Haneke and worth mentioning - the Locarno-winning She, A Chinese from the only filmmaker (Xiaolu Guo) who'll be presenting not one, but two films at Tiff this year. Mr.Nobody rightly receives a Special Presentations slot, it was filmed in some parts of Montreal and features Canuck Sarah Polley, and the masters section finally gets filled out including the latest from French auteur Francois Ozon (Le Refuge).

Toronto -- The Toronto International Film Festival on Thursday (August 20) unveiled its final selections, including international premieres for South Korean director Lee Hey-jun's "Castaway on the Moon" and Mike Sandejas' "If I Knew What You Said," from the Philippines.
And the Masters sidebar added the latest work by veteran auteurs Lars von Trier, Amos Gitai, Francois Ozon, Michael Haneke and Margarethe von Trotta.
Hey-jun's offbeat romantic drama will unspool as part of the Contemporary World Cinema sidebar, which added 34 titles as Toronto finalized a September slate that comprises 335 films from 64 Countries.
The Cwc program also booked international premieres for two Australian films, Rachel Perkins' "Bran Nue Dae" and Robert Conolly's "Balibo," Cesc Gay's "V.O.S.," from Spain, Italian director Giuseppe Capotondi's "The Double Hour" and Henrique Goldman's "Jean Charles," a British/Brazilian co-pro.
