Update: AMPAS's governors have apologized for their initial statement over Israeli authorities' treatment of Palestinian Oscar winner Hamdan Ballal. “On Wednesday, we sent a letter in response to reports of violence against Oscar winner Hamdan Ballal, co-director of No Other Land, connected to his artistic expression,” CEO Bill Kramer and President Janet Yang wrote to members today. “We regret that we failed to directly acknowledge Mr. Ballal and the film by name.” They continued: “We sincerely apologize to Mr. Ballal and all artists who felt unsupported by our previous statement and want to make it clear that the Academy condemns violence of this kind anywhere in the world. We abhor the suppression of free speech under any circumstances.” @Deadline has more details and context to share,

No Other Land
Deadline · Academy Apologizes For Not Naming ‘No Other Land’ Or Its Co-Director In Statement Denouncing Attacks On ArtistsBy Erik Pedersen

The governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS, the organization that gives out the Oscars) have met today to discuss their "belated and tepid" response to the beating and detention of Oscar-winning Palestinian documentarian Hamdan Ballal. Leading members of the Academy including Olivia Colman, Javier Bardem, Emma Thompson, Ava DuVernay and Adam McKay signed a letter demanding a more forceful response to Ballal's treatment by Israeli authorities, saying the original statement "fell far short of the sentiments this moment calls for." Here's more from @Deadline.

Here's more from @Variety.

Jane Campion, Holly Hunter – „Das Piano“ (1993)

Diesen Film heute, über 30 Jahre später, erneut anzuschauen, bedeutet für mich, ihn auf eine neue Weise zu sehen. Denn ich bin nicht mehr der Mann, der ich Anfang der Neunziger gewesen bin. Ich habe viele Dinge erfahren, gesehen und gelernt, von denen ich damals noch nichts ahnen konnte. Und doch war mir damals schon klar, dass ich diesen Film wohl nie mehr vergessen können würde.
