The story of a Lakota Native American man torn between his ancestral home and a career in the big city inspired two U.S. filmmakers to invest 13 years into “Without Arrows.” Their doc, which is slated to premiere onscreen in December or early next year, was one of eight U.S.-made projects pitched at the Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival this week as part of the New Visions Forum development program.
Alongside other upcoming creative docs on subjects ranging from a sci-fi take on the deadly effects of heat in Phoenix, Arizona (Lynne Siefert’s “Valley of the Night”) to Riley Hooper’s “Vestibule,” a look at the societal challenges faced by women with vulvar disorders, “Without Arrows” impressed Ji.hlava industry attendees with its compelling story.

Picture the scene. It’s four weeks from now. Matt Hancock has been named king of the jungle. After a month of tears, torture and tepid banter, he has obliterated all competition. Boy George has made zero impact. Mike Tindall is in the dust. Jill Scott is no one. The public have voted to humiliate the former health secretary, and he has eaten it up. Literally: he has eaten every species of testicle. But at some point during this process there came a moment when the tide started to turn. When, exactly, is hard to say: when he taught Chris Moyles how to do parkour? When he played truth or dare round the campfire and admitted he thinks Dominic Cummings is a “gimp”? Or when, on his ninth bushtucker trial, he was finally broken, weeping into a bath of eels? No one knows. But this much is true: he may have lost the Tory whip,...

Melanie Chisholm, better known as the Spice Girl’s Melanie C, has revealed she was sexually assaulted when she was 23 in a hotel the night before Spice Girl’s first concert in Turkey.
Speaking on Elizabeth Day‘s podcast, How to Fail, Chisholm said the assault took place during a hotel massage in 1997.
“I felt violated. I felt very vulnerable. I felt embarrassed,” she recalled. “And then I felt unsure – have I got this right? I was in an environment where you take your clothes off with this professional person.”
She added that because she didn’t want to make a fuss and didn’t have time to deal with it, the assault was “buried for years and years and years.”
It was until she started to write her memoir, Who I Am, that she recalled the memories in a dream. “And I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I haven...

Melanie Chisolm of the Spice Girls says she was sexually assaulted the night before the girl group’s debut performance.
The 48-year-old singer, also known as Mel C, opened up about the alleged incident in her upcoming memoir, titled Who I Am, revealing that it held her feeling “violated, vulnerable and embarrassed”.
In her book, she shares that the group were about to perform their first full-length concert in Istanbul, Turkey, when the incident took place during a hotel massage.
“We were in Istanbul, we did two shows and we had never done a full-length concert before, so obviously we’d rehearsed for weeks ahead,” she told Elizabeth Day on her podcast How to Fail while promoting her memoir.

Meghan Markle’s deeply personal op-ed about her experience suffering a miscarriage in July was published Wednesday in the New York Times, and the reactions across the internet have been polarizing.
The loudest voices are those expressing support, awe, and gratitude to the Duchess of Sussex for sharing a deeply personal story on such a little-talked-about subject — all while knowing that she would undoubtedly receive more of the online harassment and bullying that she has suffered ever since she joined the royal family.
Among her champions was Monica Lewinsky, the former White House intern whose affair with President Bill Clinton thrust her into the national spotlight and made her tabloid fodder for years to come.
“‘What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? the world would split open,'” Lewinsky tweeted Wednesday, quoting the poet Muriel Rukeyser.
She added: “A private pain shared publicly may not help you,...

Michael Haneke's Palme D'or winner offers a spellbinding tale of bigotry and brutality in a pre-Great War rural German community, says Philip French
Numerous novelists, dramatists and film-makers have been attracted to the period immediately preceding the outbreak of the First World War to give their work a touch of nostalgia, irony or historical resonance.
Jb Priestley, whose life had been transformed by his experiences on the Western Front, was among the earliest with his 1934 play Eden End, set in 1912 Yorkshire. Isabel Colegate's novel The Shooting Party (filmed by Alan Bridges in 1984) takes place at a grand country house in 1913. István Szabó's movie Colonel Redl cuts straight from its eponymous antihero's death to the Austro-Hungarian army going into battle, though it was as early as 1916 that the Austrian wit Karl Kraus launched one of the last century's greatest cliches by having a newsboy enter a Viennese cafe shouting: "Extra!

If you're going to ask me (once again) who I considered to be one of the most controversial filmmakers today, then I would name Michael Haneke (right after Lars von Trier, of course). While von Trier's movies can be overwhelming at times, Haneke's can be very daunting and just like subjecting one self to torture. If von Trier loves to portray America without touching American soil, Haneke loves to teach his viewers a dose of their own medicine - patronizing American escapist movies is like committing a crime, there will be punishment sooner or later.

- - - But how to begin? Perhaps a look at The White Ribbon, his latest would be a good way to start. Instead of a chronological set of events, we start from the most recent.
