So sad we lost our friend Donald Ranvaud, in jury duty at FFM 40, he was 62 and a great producer

I was so happy to see him in Montreal, (he arrived a bit late and missed the grand opening of the 40th edition of Serge Losique's Festival). British film producer Donald Ranvaud, who was a jury member in the Montreal World Film Festival (WFF), died suddenly in his hotel room on Sunday night of a heart attack. He was 62. Ranvaud was known for producing the film CITY OF GOD.
Filmfestivals.com wishes him a safe trip with God.
FFM 40 concludes with Awards and Cash prizes...and a sad note of a jury friend passing away RIP Donald Ranvaud

The 73rd edition of the Mostra Internazionale d'Arte Cinematigrafico off and running

The 73rd edition of the Mostra Internazionale d'Arte Cinematigrafico, otherwise known as the Venice Film Festival, is off and running.
With an overwhelming cornucopia of films of all kinds to choose from --new Hollywood star vehicles, old restored classics, documentaries and feature films from around the globe, shorts, experimental films, etc. one is faced with what the Italians call "l'imbarazzo della scelta" -- Choice Overload -- which is par for the course at major festivals like Venice.
In such a situation veteran festivaleers such as Yours Truly try to see unusual films which are not likely to turn up elsewhere and, for the time being, take a pass on most big name films which which will definitely show up at other festivals or at commercial screenings on the streets of all major cities.
In the first couple of days the first five films I have looked in on were all in different theaters and all in different languages, to wit; Icelandic, Hebrew, English, Croatian, and Korean. (Capsule reviews below)
The grand opener on August 31 was the American biggie "LA LA Land", starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, about a jazz pianist who falls for an aspiring actress in Los Angeles. Youthful director. Damien Chazelle, 31, had a critical success "Whiplash" two years ago which also dealt with musicians. The stars graced the opening night red carpet and the pic went over big with the Italian audience and critics.
