Cronenberg’s sister Caitlin also has a feature that will likely do festival rounds next year as well
Also, this has me sold:

Does anyone have a sense of how much of the slate will be available virtually?

Re: Festival Circuit 2023
Each description in that release and on the program linked in the first post indicates if they’re available online; I believe all of the competition slates and NEXT films are online, but only a handful of the Midnight and Premiere sections.
I’ll also be buying a pass again this year; they go on sale next Tuesday

A French magazine called "Le Film Français" is saying that 'Oppenheimer', 'Priscilla', and the new Indiana Jones film will be premiering at Cannes this year.

Re: Festival Circuit 2023
Matthew Modine has seemingly confirmed that Oppenheimer will be shown at Cannes.
Roger Friedman is claiming that Cannes wants to screen Killers of the Flower Moon but only if the film is trimmed from its runtime of 3 hours and 20 minutes. While I wouldn't be surprised to see it premiere at Cannes, I personally don't believe that they would try and force a major figure like Scorsese to trim down his film just so that it can premiere out-of-competition there. It also doesn't make sense since the new Nuri Bilge Ceylan film is rumored to be in-competition and we all know that's going to have a long runtime just like his previous films.

Yeah, something makes me doubt that this is true. It reads more like uninformed speculation than an actual inside scoop.Friedman, Showbiz 411 wrote:But Cannes can’t program such a long film, so they’re waiting to see how this all works out.

Re: Festival Circuit 2023
So Cannes is threatening to turn down Scorsese, DiCaprio, De Niro, and potentially-newly-minted Oscar-winner Brendan Fraser because they can't program something twenty minutes longer than Drive My Car, or the three episodes of Irma Vep they screened last year? The 500-minute Dead Souls was admittedly a big outlier for Cannes, but five years later they'd say no to a Scorsese movie of not even half that length? Gimme a break.

Golden Bear for Nicolas Philibert. Nice to see him have something of a resurgence of recognition. To Be and To Have was the must-see documentary of its day.

It's being reported that the short film shot by Pedro Almodovar is going to be opening Cannes. It's also extremely like that Nanni Moretti will be in comp this year as his latest film is going to be released in June in France.

Variety also interviewed Thierry Fremaux, where he confirms that he is in discussions to get Killers of the Flower Moon.

I really enjoyed Charcoal -- a more intimate and low-key spin on something like Bacurau, with a similar blend of realism and absurdity. Maeve Jinkings is excellent in the lead.therewillbeblus wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 4:11 pmIFF Boston's Spring Festival lineup is up - I'm gonna hit Blackberry and Master Gardener for sure - curious if anyone's seen/heard good things about others (I typically shy away from docs)
