How Does an Independent Ukrainian Film Reach Locarno During a War? Producer Dmytro Minzianov on the Festival Strategy Behind Bad Roads and Demons
by Team BWW - Jul 21, 2026


Ukrainian cinema is having an unlikely run on the international festival circuit. Even with the industry hollowed out by full-scale war, Ukrainian directors and producers turned up in force at Cannes this May, and earlier in 2026 Kyiv committed roughly 124 million dollars to a new national cultural fund, the Thousand Spring program, part of it set aside for film, as The Globe and Mail reported. Underneath the numbers sits a stubbornly practical question: how does a small, battered national cinema get its work selected by the most competitive festivals on the planet, and then keep it there?

Review: MAINLY MOZART WITH VIOLINIST JAMES EHNES at The Conrad In La Jolla
by Ron Bierman - Jun 30, 2026


At roughly six minutes, the Memorium is an excellent introduction to the “tintinnabula” (bell) minimalist style created by the composer. A simple melodic line combines with a separate line of triads. Music majors have written theses describing the style in excruciating detail, but the effect Pärt achieves is a bell-like simplicity that can evoke rapt spiritual introspection.

A History of Broadway Proshots and Screen Adaptations
by Jennifer Ashley Tepper - May 31, 2026


What is a pro-shot and how is it different than an adapted film? Pro-shot is an abbreviation for professionally shot, denoting a stage play that was captured in its native habitat: a theatre. In general, a pro-shot seeks to film the exact experience that audience members would have at a live performance of the show, in contrast with a feature film which actually adapts the piece into a new form, including different locations, the removal of theatrical aesthetic, and changes to make the script work as a film as opposed to as a live theatrical show.
