In recent years, a handful of Asian American musicians have made a name for themselves in the American music scene. There's indie rock artist Mitski, Michelle Zauner of the genre-defying band Japanese Breakfast, and house DJ and producer Yaeji. The list grows a bit longer if we count Grammy-winning mainstream artists like H.E.R., Olivia Rodrigo, Bruno Mars, and Anderson .Paak, all of whom have some Asian heritage. However, they're the notable exceptions in an industry in which Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (Aapi) are still grossly underrepresented and underpromoted, despite the wealth of musical talent that exists within the community.
In contrast, many K-pop stars - the majority of whom hail from South Korea - are now more successful and famous in the US than most Aapi artists. This striking paradox speaks to...

Peter Strickland's Cold Meridian is exclusively showing on Mubi starting December 11, 2020 in the Luminaries series.Cold Meridian started life as a commission from the London Short Film Festival in 2019 when they were planning an Asmr event. My most recent feature film, In Fabric, embraced the possibilities of the phenomenon known as Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and I felt that it was time to move on, especially as my previous films all unwittingly employed similar sonic tropes before I even knew that there was a name for such a euphoric response to certain tactile sounds. However, as soon as I decided to move away from Asmr, this commission came along.My connection to Asmr goes way back to childhood, only I never really questioned it. If a friend peeled off football stickers to put into an album or if a librarian was whispering, I experienced a mild form of euphoria...

It’s been a long journey for Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me by Your Name since its rapturous response at Sundance Film Festival nearly nine months ago. There’s now only one month left until the theatrical release of the year’s finest romance, but first, the gorgeous soundtrack will arrive, and now we have the full tracklist. Set for an early November release, it features two new tracks from Sufjan Stevens (and one reworked one), as well as cuts from The Psychedelic Furs, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and more. We also have four clips from the film, one of which has already enjoyed full memeification.
Before for that, however, there’s a few new details on Guadagnino’s upcoming projects. He recently opened up about a potential sequel to his Armie Hammer- and Timothée Chalamet-led film, and his main trio said they’d be interested. “If I paired the...

Italian cinema industry sides with Marco Müller
by Vittoria Scarpa from Cineuropa.org
Bertolucci, Olmi, Bellocchio, Salvatores, Crialese, as well as Toni Servillo, Stefania Sandrelli, the producers Riccardo Tozzi andPietro Valsecchi, and singer-songwriter Franco Battiato feature amongst the 150 signatories of an appeal in favour of the new director of the Rome Film Festival, Marco Müller.
In an open letter, released today and addressed to politicians and administrators, artists of the film and entertainment industry ask that Müller be placed in the "conditions to guarantee that an all too near 2012 edition takes place", and that his contract as director of the Rome Film Festival therefore be closed.
Marco Müller's nomination as artistic director, on March 16 (see the news), has in fact still not been turned into a signed contract. According to rumours, the former director of the Venice Film Festival is becoming increasingly worried with regards to timing and has not made a mystery of the fact that he considers Cannes as a deadline (The French festival starts on May 16). The next board of director's meeting of the Fondazione Cinema per Roma, which could lead to a conclusion of the matter, will take place on Friday, assured the President Paolo Ferrari, dismissing the rumours going around about the alleged problems with the staff of selectors suggested by Müller.
"Any further loss of time would be a defeat for Rome and a huge setback for Italian cinema", says the appeal, "And would probably lead to the event's death and the cancellation of any future prospects".
