• 115- Bayreuther Festspiele opens with first female conductor July 25 - By Marie Ludwig

••••BAYREUTH -- The annual Bayreuth opera festival has returned after a one-year break forced by the coronavirus pandemic, with a woman conducting for the first time in the 145-year history of the event.
•••• Oksana Lyniv won enthusiastic applause after conducting Richard Wagner's "Flying Dutchman" at Bayreuth's Festspielhaus on Sunday, news agency dpa reported.
•••• Lyniv, a 43-year-old native of Ukraine, is the former principal conductor of Austria's Graz Opera and a former assistant to current Berlin Philharmonic chief conductor Kirill Petrenko at the Bavarian State Opera.

•••• The opening performance was attended by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her husband Joachim Sauer, who have been regular guests at the annual celebration of Wagner's work over the years. Asked at a reception later Sunday about the first woman conducting, Merkel replied: "Finally!"
•••• Festival director Katharina Wagner stated that there weren't that many female conductors in the past, and that it takes courage to learn to conduct. A generation has now grown up "that is courageous enough," she said.
•••• Although coronavirus infection rates are currently low in Germany, the festival is going ahead with restrictions. This year, 911 attendees per performance are allowed, compared with nearly 2,000 in a normal year. Only people who are vaccinated, have recovered from the virus or have a negative test are allowed in.
•••• The festival continues until Aug. 25.
The Bayreuth Festival: also a family history. The festival's management has been in the hands of a member of the Wagner family up to this day. A special feature that has increased the attractiveness of the four-week Wagner marathon worldwide. This family history, as in any other family, has not remained free of tension.
•••• The reworking of the political instrumentalisation, especially in the Nazi dictatorship, the "Neubayreuth" under Wieland and Wolfgang Wagner, the changes under Katharina Wagner &endash; they stand not only for continuity, but also for breaks in the reception which have one thing in common: profound respect for the unique work of Richard Wagner.
• History of Richard Wagner and Bayreuth
•••• Wagner originally planned that Munich would be the focal-point of his music. After being banished from immediate contact with Ludwig II at the end of 1865, however, he switched his attention from Munich to Nuremberg, which he saw as especially appropriate for the performance of The Mastersingers and his other operas.
•••• Nuremberg, however, was abandoned when Wagner heard from Hans Richter that there was an excellent operahouse in Bayreuth. Margrave Frederick (1735-63), who was married to the sister of Frederick the Great, Friederike Wilhelmine Sophie, had kept court in Bayreuth. The young Margravine was active in the arts, and like her famous brother was an enthusiastic composer (for example, the operas Amaltea and L'Elliogabalo), and the Margrave had an opera-house built in Bayreuth, completed in 1747. In its time it was one of the largest theatres in the world. The acoustics were exceptionally good.
•••• • The question of performance rights made Wagner favour Bayreuth. In 1864, when short of money, Wagner had sold the performance rights of his forthcoming operas to Ludwig II. As an enthusiastic Wagnerian, Ludwig had wished to hear Wagner's music as often as possible in Munich. On Ludwig's initiative, The Rhinegold was premiered in Munich on 22nd September 1869, although Wagner was against the idea.

What makes the Cannes Film Festival so special?
•••• Launched in 1946, the Cannes Film Festival has long found itself as an early year destination for cineasts and international filmmakers. As Brittanica points out, the Cannes marketplace is also a shining beacon for the event. "Like other film festivals, it became an international marketplace where producers and distributors could exchange ideas, view films, and sign contracts," reads the site. "The phenomenon of international coproduction arose at Cannes in the late 1940s."
•••• According to the Cannes Film Festival website, the event retains its great importance because, "the Festival de Cannes has remained faithful to its founding purpose: to draw attention to and raise the profile of films, with the aim of contributing towards the development of cinema, boosting the film industry worldwide and celebrating cinema at an international level."
•••• Now, even with enhanced COVID-19 protections and contentious salvia tests for patrons, the Cannes Film Festival is still a key destination for the entertainment industry and those who cover its moves. This is to say nothing of the famously persnickety Cannes crowd, which can either boisterously praise a film after its debut with a lengthy standing ovation or drown out its credits in loud boos.

What's the best movie at the Cannes Film Festival this year?
•••• It's unclear as of this writing which film will win the 2021 Palme D'Or, but strong titles in the lineup include "The French Dispatch," Anderson's film about a New Yorker-like magazine that stars his usual cadre of actors including Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, Adrien Brody, and Owen Wilson, and "Annette," Carax's musical with music from the band Sparks and lead roles for Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard.

Can I watch the Cannes Film Festival online?
••••While the movies will not stream online during the festival, Cannes promises 12 days of live online coverage of premieres, press conferences, and more via its website.

What should I wear to the Cannes Film Festival?
••••According to the website Cannes Guide, the daylight dress code is "fairly informal" and patrons can get away with wearing business casual clothes or even shorts and a T-shirt, provided shoes or sandals are worn as footwear. "Don't wear flip-flops as some of the humorless security goons have been known to take issue with these," the site reads. At night and for lavish premiere events, black-tie attire is often a requirement.

Are Netflix movies allowed at the Cannes Film Festival?
•••• Netflix has skipped the Cannes Film Festival for the last three years on account of a rule about theatrical exhibition in France that Cannes added in 2018, and the streaming giant's relationship with Cannes organizers continues to be a bit frosty. 
•••• "The only thing is that we have a rule, namely, films in competitions have to be released in French movie theatres," Thierry Frémaux, Cannes artistic director, said this week. "It's not a very difficult rule to abide by. But Netflix does not want to abide by that rule, it doesn't want to come out of competition -- I invited them -- and we talk a lot together as friends. I hope I'll convince them one day."

• Top Prize for "Only the Animal" (Seules les betes)
Munich -- "Seules les betes" (Only the Animals), a French-German co-production, was named the winner of the top prize as the 38th Munich Film Festival closed after a 10-day run on Saturday, July 10.
•••• The French-language film directed by Dominik Moll garnered the 50,000-euro (56,200-dollar) ARRI/Osram CineMasters prize at the final ceremonies.
••••"Only the Animals" tells a gripping, suspenseful, and poignant story of how seemingly personal actions and interactions can lead to complex connections and dramatic consequences," the jury said.
••••"The film offers a lot of food for thought, not least about how we relate to our fellow human beings.
••••"For that reason, too, this French-German co-production is top-quality European cinema of the kind the jury would like to see more of."
••••The festival's 15,000-euro CineVision prize for the best international film by a newcomer director went to Philippe Lacote for "La Nuit des Rois" (Night of the Kings), a co-production from Ivory Coast, France, Canada, and Senegal. The film was shown in Dioula, French and Nouchi.
••••"Director Philippe Lacote's film explores the challenges of storytelling in a society ridden with violence," the jury said.
••••By coupling the beauty of pre-colonial Africa with harsh reality and the appropriation of its own history, the director advances an autonomous African narrative.
••••"An unbearable reality gives rise to a 21st-century fairy tale, a chamber play in a lawless space, a search for values in a world that turns people into both perpetrators and victims."
••••The awards announcement came as the film festival wound up 10 days of screenings.
••••In a new twist, this year's festival concluded with screenings of six different films at various indoor and outdoor locations, as opposed to a single film shown at the closing ceremonies.
••••Under the motto "Citywide Live," a total of 70 films from 29 countries were screened as the Munich Film Festival rebounded from last year's corona pandemic-induced shutdown.

MUNICH, July 1, 2021 -- The 38th edition of FILMFEST MÜNCHEN was ceremoniously opened this evening, with numerous invited guests from the arts and the worlds of business and politics, along with many Munich film-lovers, attending.
•••• The fact that the festival can be held again in 2021 is mainly thanks to its two main shareholders, the Free State of Bavaria, and the City of Munich, represented by the vice-mayor, who currently chairs the supervisory board of Internationale Münchner Filmwochen GmbH, as well as numerous partners from the arts and the business world.oughout Bavaria and the rest of Germany
•••• The"Filmfest 2021 can finally take off, with open-air film screenings 'Citywide Live', 70 films from 29 countries, and much more. The Filmfest brings back a bit of joie de vivre and makes the best of the current situation, proverbially seeing a crisis as an opportunity. For this, I offer a very big thank-you to the entire Filmfest team!"••••
•••• In a welcoming message, Bavarian Minister President Dr. Markus Söder also addressed the audience:
•••• "Film and cinema, arts and culture are back! Today's opening of the 38th International FILMFEST MÜNCHEN is a huge beacon to the entire industry. Germany's second-largest film festival is once again showcasing great emotions and outstanding films. I'm impressed by the amount of creativity the film industry has demonstrated in order to get through the coronavirus pandemic thus far. It was therefore only natural that the Free State of Bavaria should also shoulder responsibility by providing an additional 46-million-euro coronavirus aid package. Its success proves that this was the correct thing to do: in 2020, Bavaria was once again number one among the German states in film subsidies. This is important to our economy, and personally, of course, I'm very pleased as a fan of cinema and films. The pandemic has, after all, made it abundantly clear that the movies need people and people need the movies!"
•••• In a new format for premieres, FILMFEST MÜNCHEN in cooperation with FFF Bayern and Warner Bros. Entertainment GmbH will show Helena Hufnagel's COMMITMENT PHOBIA in numerous cinemas throughout Bavaria and across Germany.
•••• Together with FFF Bayern and Warner Bros.

Theaters across all of Germany will be participating.
•••• As the film celebrates its world premiere at the Munich open-air institution Kino, Mond & Sterne, (Moon & Stars) the atmosphere of the premiere will be brought to all participating cinemas through the virtual presence of the stars.
•••• COMMITMENT PHOBIA is based on the best-selling nonfiction book by Michael Nast. The film was produced in part with funds from FFF Bayern. Helena Hufnagel's second feature film (after EINMAL BITTE ALLES) focuses on the Tinder generation. In this well-cast comedy, Frederick Lau and Luise Heyer are an "odd couple" who play off each other with a lot of verbal wittiness. COMMITMENT PHOBIA opens in cinemas across Germany on July 29. The film is distributed by Warner Bros.

• 115- AFI Fest joins an array of festivals and conventions in going virtual in 2020.
•••• The revised fall festival corridor in the age of COVID has continued to take shape with recent announcements of hybrid virtual/physical events from Venice, Toronto and New York, along with the outright cancellation of Telluride. Now, L.A.'s own AFI Fest will officially be a virtual event when it takes place Oct. 15-22.
•••• Continuing their Thursday to Thursday run but moving up a month from their most recent dates in November, festival organizers plan to have much of the same programming structure as in past years, including sections dedicated to world cinema and new auteurs. According to Michael Lumpkin, director of AFI festivals, where other festivals are drastically scaling back the number of films being screened, AFI Fest will likely only have a 10% to 20% reduction in the number of titles presented, if any reduction at all. (The event screened more than 140 titles in 2019.)
•••• The organizers of AFI Fest have one advantage over other fall fests making the switch to virtual events -- they have already done it. The AFI Docs festival, based out of Washington, D.C., took place in June with ticketed virtual screenings and events. Michael Lumpkin, director of AFI Festials, noted that attendance was actually higher than in years past, drawing viewers from all 50 states, without the logistics of theater bookings and seat capacity.

• CES 2021 Canceled Over COVID-19, Moves to Online Format
••• The Consumers Electronics Show (CES) 2021, originally slated for January 6-9-2021 will not be held in Las Vegas, but presented "an all-digital experience," according to the show organizer, the Consumer Technology Association ( CTA).
••• The show takes place at the Las Vegas Convention Center, which is located just off the Strip and attracts thousands of attendees every year, bolstering the economy and employing many along the way.
•••• Industry professionals get a look at the latest and greatest in consumer technology and products before they're available for purchase to the general public. Typically, Las Vegas hotel rooms are filled to capacity and restaurants, casinos, and other nearby businesses reap the benefits.
•••• "With the growing global health concerns about the spread of COVID-19, it is not possible to safely convene tens of thousands of people in Las Vegas in early January 2021 to meet and do business in person.
•••• "An all-digital CES 2021 will allow the entire tech community to safely share ideas and introduce the products that will shape our future. You'll be able to participate in all the awe-inspiring moments of CES wherever you are in the world. We are designing a unique experience for the tech industry."
•••• The digital CES experience will include keynotes and conferences, an online product showcase, meetings, and opportunities for networking. It will take place the first week of January.

/// • 2021 Roseparade canceled because of the coronavirus
PASADENA, CA, (July 15, 2020) The 132nd Tournament of Roses Parade will not take place on Jan. 1, 2021, because of the coronavirus pandemic, parade officials announced Wednesday morning. It's the first time in 75 years that the parade has been canceled.
•••• The last time the parade was canceled since its inception in 1891, was only three times &endash; the wartime years of 1942, 1943 and 1945.
•••• "Like most people having never lived through a pandemic before parade officials initially hoped they'd be able to hold the parade safely but after weeks of assessment it became clear such a feat would be impossible. Instead the Tournament of Roses is looking into options for celebrating the new year in a new way.
•••• With reluctance and tremendous disappointment, the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association announces that, in accordance with Governor Newsom's Phase IV re-opening schedule, and after thoughtful consideration of the restrictions and guidelines in place as a result of COVID-19, we are unable to host the 2021 Rose Parade.
•••• "The health and well-being of our parade participants and guests, as well as that of our volunteer members, professional staff and partners, is our number one priority," said Bob Miller, 2021 President of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association.
•••• While the parade itself is more than five months from now, the preparation for such a large event typically begins in February. "In addition to the advance planning required by our band and equestrian units, the construction of our floats takes many months and typically requires thousands of volunteers to gather in ways that aren't in compliance with safety recommendations and won't be safe in the coming months," said David Eads, Executive Director/CEO. "While we are extremely disappointed that we are unable to host the parade, we believe that not doing so will prevent the spread of COVID-19, as well as protect the legacy of the Rose Parade for generations to come."
•••• The Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association also hosts the Rose Bowl Game each January 1. The planning for this year's Rose Bowl Game, which will serve as a College Football Playoff Semifinal, is still ongoing. "We continue to work with the College Football Playoff and our collegiate partners to explore what this year's college football season will look like amidst COVID-19 and social distancing guidelines. While the safety and well-being of the student athletes, university personnel and fans is our top priority, we remain hopeful that the Granddaddy of Them All will take place on New Year's Day," continued Eads.
•••• "I know that I speak on behalf of our 935 volunteer members, and the hundreds of thousands in our community for which the Rose Parade is an annual tradition, when I say we will miss the joy of coming together and the making of memories," said Miller. "But know that we will not miss this opportunity to celebrate a New Year and healthy new beginnings on January 1, 2021."
•••• "We all know what the Rose Parade means to us here in Pasadena, as well as to New Year celebrations around the world. To know that we won't get to experience this great tradition on January 1, 2021, is extremely disappointing. However, we also know that we must act responsibly to protect our community in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic," said Pasadena Mayor Terry Tornek. "We look forward to working with the Pasadena Tournament of Roses on their reimagined New Year celebration, as well as the return of the Rose Parade on January 1, 2022."
•••• In considering the options for the 2021 Rose Parade, the Tournament of Roses commissioned a feasibility and safety report for hosting the Rose Parade during the COVID-19 Pandemic, conducted by public health experts from the Keck School of Medicine of USC. That report showed that even with intensive effort to ensure compliance with public health measures such as six-foot distancing and face masks, it is likely that Rose Parade activities before, during and after the event would inevitably lead to large numbers of individuals (many of whom represent high risk groups for COVID-19 complications, such as retirees over age 60) in close proximity to each other, potentially, in some cases, without masks. This creates a high-risk environment for viral spread, including super-spreader events.
•••• Although the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association will not be hosting its 132nd  Rose Parade, they will celebrate the New Year on January 1, 2021. Working in conjunction with our broadcast partners and sponsors, the Tournament of Roses has plans underway for a new kind of New Year celebration for those across the country and around the world. "Each year, the country turns its eyes to Pasadena for America's New Year celebration and we plan to deliver on that important promise," said Eads. "We may not be able to host our traditional five-mile march down Colorado Boulevard, but we are exploring new and safe ways we can collectively share in the celebration, and we look forward to announcing further details about our exciting new plans in the coming weeks."
•••• Decisions regarding some other traditions, such as the crowning of the Tournament of Roses Royal Court, haven't been made yet. A spokeswoman said "in the next few weeks, we'll make an announcement about the Royal Court and the theme and the tournament leadership."
•••• The Rose Bowl football game on Jan. 1, however, is still planned, whether it is with a socially distanced audience or an empty stadium, Eads said.

••••• There are around 3,000 film festivals currently active (i.e. ran in the past two years) 9,706 film festivals have run at least once in the last 15 years.
•••• The majority of film festivals do charge for submissions (an average of $27 for short films and $40 for feature films), but this isn't their main source of income.• •
•••• One reason advertisers like film festivals is that festival attendees tend to have plenty of money to spend. For example, at Sundance, over 50% of attendees have a household income of $100,000, while 26% have a household income of over $200,000.
•••• Arguably there is not a single major film festival but, the most prestigious film festivals include Cannes, Berlin, and Venice film festival, sometimes called "The Big Three."•• •

• 115- Cannes Film Festival Finally Admits It Won't Happen This Summer
 APR. 16, 2020 -- As huge theme parks and whole sports leagues around the world pause operations to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, the Cannes Film Festival, as the essential pillar for the film industry, has been reluctant to make an official declaration about this year's event. Today, though, organizers finally acquiesced and released a statement saying that even a delay until the summer (Cannes was scheduled to begin on May 12) would not allow the festival to go on with all its typical pageantry.
••• "We acknowledge that the postponement of the 73rd International Cannes Film Festival, initially considered for the end of June to the beginning of July, is no longer an option," reads a statement released by the organizers. Cannes "must explore all contingencies allowing to support the year of Cinema by making Cannes 2020 real, in one way or another."

• 115- Venice Film Festival is going forward as planned
••• With conventions, festivals, albums, concerts, and more being pushed to the fall or canceled entirely due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Venice Film Festival is sticking to its plans for September 2 - 12.
••• In a recent interview with the Italian wire service ANSA, Venice Biennial president Roberto Cicutto once again confirmed the September 2 to12 dates for the 77th Venice Film Festival and downplayed plans for a Venice without Cannes Film Festival collaboration.
••• Strict social distancing regulations forced the Cannes Film Festival to postpone this year's event, once to mid-July and a second time indefinitely. While Cannes director Thierry Fremaux suggested  that Venice Film Fest and Cannes may combine their efforts, Roberto Cicutto told ANSA that there is no "hypothesis" for a collaboration at this time. "We are going forward with our program, and if Cannes is still thinking (about their course of action) then there is no dialogue."
••• Meanwhile, Venice is exploring options to make sure its September festival can still happen, including a digital option for foreign press and potentially using cinemas. They've given themselves until May to figure all that out, which seems to be the new rule of thumb for all coronavirus-related timelines. Remember back when it was April? As the oldest film festival in the world, Venice may be at a higher risk for the coronavirus, but it is not going down without a fight.

• 115- "My Salinger Year," kicked off the Berlin Int'l Film Festival - 18 films are vying for the Golden Bear
BERLIN -- The 70th annual Berlin International Film Festival known as "the Berlinale" is currently taking place from 20 February to 1 March 2020. It is the first under the leadership of new Berlin Film Festival heads, business administration director Mariette Rissenbeek and artistic director Carlo Chatrian who took over from Dieter Kosslick last year.
•••• The Berlinale is a unique place of artistic exploration and entertainment. It is one of the largest public film festivals in the world, attracting tens of thousands of visitors from around the globe each year. For the film industry and the media, the eleven days in February are also one of the most important events in the annual calendar and an indispensable trading forum
•••• The Festival got off to a somber start after news of a racially motivated mass shooting Wednesday night in the Frankfurt neighboring German city of Hanau rocked the country.
••••"I wanted to say something about the 70th anniversary of the Berlinale, but events in Hanau hit us all hard," said Berlinale executive director Mariette Rissenbeek.
••••Artistic director Carlo Chatrian added: "We stand here as a community. When we sit in the cinema, there is no distinction between class or religion. Cinema brings us together."
•••The opening night kicked off with the screening of Philippe Falardeau's "My Salinger Year," starring Sigourney Weaver and Margaret Qualley, who attended the premiere.
••••Philippe Falardeau also paid respects to the Hanau shootings, which claimed 11 lives, telling the audience, "I want to convey my unflinching solidarity with the German people in these troubled times," adding his hope that the film might "give you a little light."
••••Hosting the show, actor Samuel Finzi offered an often politically pointed speech that focused largely on the plight of immigrants and on his own life as a Bulgarian native in Berlin.
••••"We shouldn't isolate ourselves and build walls," Finzi said.
"Perhaps there is someone trying to come here that will be a great German hope. Cinema is about shared experiences."
••••Finzi replaced long-time host Anke Engelke, a Canadian-German comedian.
••••Some pointed out the change in tone between last year and this year's ceremony. Dieter Kosslick was known for his larger-than-life personality, and his antics seemed to be missed on stage, in contrast to the more serious, nature of the festival's new co-directors.
••••Later in the evening, German culture minister Monika Grütters also took the stage and delivered a rousing anti-terror message that brought the crowd to its feet  -- one of the ceremony's few highlights. 
•••• Also in attendance was Johnny Depp who arrived at the Berlin Film Festival Friday to support the film "Minamata," in which he plays celebrated war photographer W. Eugene Smith. In the film, based on real events, Smith is pitted against a powerful corporation responsible for poisoning with mercury the people of Minamata in Japan in 1971.
•••• At the film's press conference, Depp said he had a "strange fascination" with Smith and his photography, which was enhanced when he'd "read a bit about his life and what he'd gone through, what he'd experienced, what he'd sacrificed to capture those moments, to capture those photos."
••••Over the next 10 days, the Berlinale will screen 18 films that are vying for the Golden Bear, among them Kelly Reichardt's "First Cow," Mohammad Rasoulof's "There Is No Evil," Natalia Meta's "The Intruder," and Burhan Qurbani's "Berlin Alexanderplatz."

Her portrayal of Georgina in Peter Greenaway's "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover" (1989) was also legendary. Beginning in the 1990s, Helen Mirren increasingly expanded and diversified her roles in both film and television, among them Robert Altman's 2001 Gosford Park (Berlinale 2002). Her flair for comedy was once again in evidence with "Calendar Girls" (2003, dir: Nigel Cole). Between 1991 and 2006, she headed up the seven instalments of the TV series "Prime Suspect" as police superintendent Jane Tennison.
••••In "The Last Station" (2009), directed by Michael Hoffmann, she played Leo Tolstoy's wife Sofya. She was at the Berlinale in 2015, alongside co-star Ryan Reynolds, with "Woman in Gold" (dir: Simon Curtis). Since then, she has appeared onscreen in "Eye in the Sky" (2015, dir: Gavin Hood) and "The Leisure Seeker" (2017, dir: Paolo Virzì) among others.
••••Mirren gives another terrific performance in the thriller "The Good Liar" (dir: Bill Condon), co-starring with Ian McKellen, which recently opened theatrically in Germany and will also be shown in the Homage section.

The Homage films:

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, UK / France / Netherlands 1989, director: Peter Greenaway

•••• "My immediate reaction is always to answer with words like 'strong' and 'brave' and 'powerful,' but if I'm being honest, to me, being a woman is not about being brave or being strong or being powerful. It's not about being anything specific," Bell said. "It's just about giving yourself permission to be the things that you already are, which seems very easy, but it is not. Because women have been conditioned to fit into boxes; usually tiny, pretty, sparkly boxes with bows on the them."
