The film community is mourning the loss of film festival executive Noah Cowan, who died January 25 at his home in Los Angeles after a year-long battle with Glioblastoma multiforme. He was 55.
Cowan was an enthusiastic booster of independent film, a celebrated film programmer who rose from 14-year-old volunteer to co-director at the Toronto International Film Festival, cofounder of the non-profit Global Film Initiative in partnership with the Museum of Modern Art (2002-2004), Artistic Director at TIFF Bell Lightbox (2009-2014), and executive director at Sffilm (2014-2019).
In recent years he consulted for film, media, and visual arts organizations including IFC, the Telluride Film Festival, and Centre for the Moving Image in Edinburgh.
Born in Hamilton, Ontario in 1967, Cowan earned a degree in philosophy at McGill University that informed the way he looked at the world. He was that rare cinephile who not only was a festival programmer who loved to discover new talent,...

The Indian film industry has historically been a male-dominated one, but the winds of change are blowing across the country, albeit slowly.
Better-served than the rest of the country is the Mumbai-based Hindi-language industry, where there are several active female filmmakers including Zoya Akhtar (“Gully Boy”), Reema Kagti (“Gold”), Leena Yadav (“Rajma Chawal”), Gauri Shinde (“Dear Zindagi”), Meghna Gulzar (“Raazi”), Shonali Bose (“Margarita With a Straw”), Farah Khan (“Om Shanti Om”) and Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari (“Bareilly ki Barfi”), to name just a few.
“The new generation of young women directors is now making ad films, web series, corporate films, short fiction, documentaries and feature films, so it’s getting to be quite a level playing field,” says Priya Krishnaswamy, who works in Mumbai. Her Tamil Nadu set Tamil-language film “Baaram” is making the rounds at festivals.

Courtney Barnett’s Tell Me How You Really Feel was noisier and darker than her excellent 2015 debut. But in a taping for our raw “Take One” video series, Barnett decided to show that those new songs work just as well completely unplugged.
Armed with only an acoustic guitar, Barnett delivered the intimate performance at New York’s Brooklyn Botanic Garden before she played a full-band set Prospect Park Bandshell later that night. She began with the album’s optimistic final track, “Sunday Roast,” which Barnett wrote about “seeing your friends...

The Struts perform intimate versions of two new songs, their recent single “Body Talks” and as-yet-unreleased power ballad “Somebody New,” in the latest installment of Rolling Stone‘s “Take One” performance series.
“Body Talks” opens with frontman Luke Spiller snapping his fingers and belting over his bandmates’ bluesy, detuned acoustic riffs. Bassist Jed Elliott, playing rhythm guitar for the set, sings a high harmony, and drummer Gethin Davies thumps away at a cajon. Lead guitarist Adam Slack switches to an electric Gibson Les Paul for “Somebody New,” offering a arena-worthy guitar solo.
