Jordanian films are making waves at international festivals, signaling a growing appetite for stories from the region. Meanwhile, a Romanian pandemic drama and a new Bandai Namco animation project round out a day of varied art-world news.
Two Jordanian films selected for the Shanghai Film Festival point to a real shift in global distribution. The crime thriller Boomah and family drama Sink are getting access to Asian markets that could change the careers of their directors.
Romanian filmmaker Marius Olteanu is following up his Berlinale winner with a pandemic-set midlife crisis drama. It's still in development, but the project is worth watching given his track record.
Bandai Namco is funding six original 3D CG short films with talent from Akira and the Oscar-nominated Possessions. This is a big bet on short-form animation as a showcase for new tech and ideas.
A Windows error screen displayed in place of The Scream at the Munch Museum is a perfect, accidental piece of modern art commentary. The irony writes itself.
