AFROPUNK is returning to Brooklyn this summer, but at a new venue and with a new theme. The two-day festival is ditching its old stomping grounds in Commodore Barry Park for the Greenpoint Terminal Market, where they’ll introduce their new theme, “CIRCUS OF SOUL – transforming the riverside blacktop into a carnivalesque exhibition that spotlights all aspects of Black creativity, soundtracked by music that speaks to the heart of the Black experience.” This year’s festival will take place on Saturday, August 26 and Sunday, August 27, with Jazmine Sullivan and Flying Lotus taking the two headlining spots.

Hello and Welcome to the Scene 2 Seen podcast. I am your host Valerie Complex and today we are talking to writer, director Celine Song.

Two of the most successful specialty films of the year expand this weekend and a handful of others jump into an arthouse market that’s seen few new entrants in recent weeks as wide release piled on wide release.

Seven fans were rushed to the hospital after a severe hailstorm impacted a Louis Tomlinson concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Wednesday night.  The golf ball-sized hail poured down on the concertgoers attending the One Direction alum’s performance.  The West Metro Fire confirmed on their social media that, "7 people transported to area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries. A total of 80 to 90 people treated on scene. Injuries include cuts and broken bones."  The fierce storm forced Tomlinson to shut down the concert, as the English singer-songwriter noted he was "devastated" about the chaotic events that unfolded.  "Sending all my love out to everyone that was affected by the extreme weather at Red Rocks last night," Tomlinson wrote in a statement on Twitter.

Next month, Christopher Nolan‘s “Oppenheimer” faces off against Greta Gerwig‘s “Barbie” on its opening weekend, a showdown that very well may christen the summer’s biggest movie. In “Barbie,” moviegoers know what to expect, a smart, quippy film from Gerwig with a meta twist on its subject.

Fans waiting to see former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson, who is set to become an Uncle again after his sister Phoebe announced she was expecting, were forced to take shelter after it began unexpectedly hailing just before his set. Louis was set to perform at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, USA - an outdoor venue that offers little to no rain cover for fans - but was forced to call the show off at the last minute.The singer, 31, took to his Twitter to express his disappointment: “Devastated about the show tonight, hope everyone’s ok, I’ll be back! Even though we didn’t play the show I felt all of your passion! Sending you all love!” Some fans who attended the show say the hail left them with “broken bones and bruises” as they rushed to evacuate.

Next month we’re getting another dose of star Tom Cruise risking his life doing ridiculous stunts for our entertainment with “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.” The seventh installment in the Ethan Hunt saga will be one half of a two-part story. However, while the two films had originally felt like a swan song for Cruise’s Teflon action hero, writer/director Christopher McQuarrie is suggesting there is much more gas in the tank.

We’ve got almost six months until the nominations for the 2024 Academy Awards are announced and a lot can happen over what is almost always a bumpy awards season road. Still, it is hard to imagine there being five other performances more worthy of a Best Actress nomination than what Greta Lee has pulled off in Celine Song‘s new drama, “Past Lives.” In the right timeline, she should be an absolute lock for an Oscar nomination.

Amidst a disrupted industry at the start of the Covid pandemic, the hope amongst producers Christine Vachon, Pamela Koffler and David Hinojosa was simply to stay engaged. This, they accomplished by reading the best scripts at their disposal — among them Past Lives, which would mark the feature debut of playwright Celine Song.

Emma D’Arcy was feeling like a bit of a cheat. It was July of 2022 at the world premiere of House of the Dragon in Los Angeles. Stylishly dressed in an oversized suit and drop earrings, D’Arcy worked the red carpet like an old pro but never felt completely at ease among the hundreds of eager fans who packed the Academy Museum theater. “It’s like finding yourself in someone else’s life,” recalls the actor, who plays Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen in the HBO drama that’s based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood. “It’s quite wild having never done that before, and certainly not on that scale, obviously, with one of the biggest shows in the world. And I am quite camera shy, which is obviously a disaster.”
