Academy Awards 2018

Always a fun moment to make a video with these two.  Kristin and David give their impressions and predictions for the Oscars 2018.   There is no Weinstein picture in the race,  the #metoo movement has shaken the film industry, and diversity  is no longer a “cool buzzword” without meaning.  How will the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences respond to the changing  feelings of the cinema going public?

This year’s award show is a bit of a rollercoaster but we generally agree on all the categories,  Del Toro, Oldman, and McDormand will walk home with gold.  The Best Picture looks cloudy, Call Me By Your Name could upset The Shape of Water.

What do two Berlinale enthusiast do in this age of hyper oversharing of opinions? Make a video of course! This is the first of many videos from the fest.

The 68th edition of the German A list festival has many challenges this year; including calls from German film professionals for a radical change of course along with a slim down schedule from the current 400 films shown.

Please forgive the babbling and background noise. The first was because we were brain dead after seeing documentaries. The second because we were in the Cinemaxx Theater as it was preparing to open.

Please stay tune for more with guests hosts, commentators, interviews, and reviews from the Berlinale.
