European Film Academy unveils nominees of the European Film Awards 2022

European Film Academy has unveiled the nominees of the main categories of the 35th European Film Awards. / IMAGE: TRIANGLE OF SADNESS dir. Ruben Östlund (Sweden/France/UK/Turkey/Germany), 2022 HIFF alum Ruben Östlund (FORCE MAJEURE, THE SQUARE) strikes again with this shocking comedic satire of modern extravagance in the era of Insta-fame. A young model Carl (Harris Dickinson) and his girlfriend Yaya (Charlbi Dean) are invited to join the wealthy elite aboard a luxury cruise helmed by a slightly crazed captain (Woody Harrelson). What promises to be a lavish voyage soon derails into a disaster of epic proportion. Artfully told, this wild romp won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival and delivers a riotous (and at times hard to stomach) commentary on the superficial glitz and glamor of high society. A Neon release.

The 31st Annual Whitaker St. Louis International Film Festival announces award winners

“The Pink Lagoon,”directed by Juan Arce and Francisco Gallo, Winner of Best of Fest Audience Choice Award for Best Film / Two distant siblings, two different worlds. A journey of familial reconnection, positivity, and valuing the different ways of seeing the world. Mariana is a fiercely independent, twentysomething young woman with Down’s syndrome who loves ballet, art, and living her best life. When invited to participate in a publicly funded dance exhibition in another city, she visits uptight, estranged brother Arturo with her free-spirited ballet teacher in tow to ask for some assistance getting there. Initially put out and resistant to doing anything much to help that would distract him from his own life and high-strung fiancee, he can’t help but to be swept up by his sister’s profound dignity, sincerity for the world in general, and true passion for dance. The cadence and sweet rhythms of the storytelling and the magnificent performance of lead actress Monica Arce as Mariana will make viewers of this film moved and quite happy to have had the experience. / Courtesy of Whitaker St. Louis International Film Festival
