Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility returns to the screen for a new generation, with Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles stepping into the iconic roles of sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. The A-list duo discuss re-imagining one of literature's most enduring stories.
In the harrowing new documentary Naza, anonymous Israeli whistleblowers describe the remote killing of Palestinians in Gaza during recent military operations. Directed by Oscar-winning filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor (No Other Land), the film uses its nocturnal setting to explore surveillance, accountability and moral distance, making it one of the most powerful and unsettling films of the year.
Dragana Jurišić is a photographer and filmmaker from the former Yugoslavia. Her documentary The Balkan Cowboy (screening at the Adelaide Film Festival), follows the folklore of a larger-than-life amateur filmmaker whose homemade Westerns captured her imagination as a child, and sets her on a path to shooting her own Western using locals from across the splintered Balkan divides, to create a new story that pieces together a history fractured by war crimes.
La Bola Negra has emerged as one of the most talked-about films of the year. The ambitious Spanish-language drama from Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi weaves stories of love, memory and queer identity across generations, and is already being tipped as a serious Oscar contender after a celebrated festival run.
