EXCLUSIVE: The UK has a new South Asian-focused film talk show.
UK-based film company ReelN, founded by Aman Dhillon, has teamed up with online entertainment website Filme Shilmy to launch The Filme Shilmy Show. The show will feature South Asian talent – both independent and established names – who will appear to promote projects and discuss their journeys as storytellers. The show’s producers said today that they aim for the show to bridge the gap between South Asian artists and UK audiences.
South Asian station ROQ RAW has been set as the official radio partner, with sponsorship from the State Bank of India UK (SBI) and Nashtaa Cafe. Rich Mix cinema in Shoreditch, East London, will be the venue of the show’s first edition, which takes place on September 22. Headlined as A Spotlight On British-Asian Filmmakers, the episode will feature filmmakers Pravesh Kumar (Little English), Nathalia Syam (Footprints On Water), and Dr Parvinder Shergill (Kaur).
Kumar is Rifco Theatre Company’s Artistic Director and Chief Executive. His first feature Little English, a family dramedy, was released last year with support from BFI. Shot during the Covid pandemic, the film is the story of a dysfunctional Punjabi family in the pressure cooker life of a terraced suburban home in Slough. He is currently in pre-production on his next project, a musical titled Frankie Goes To Bollywood, set for Spring 2024. Syam made her feature debut with Footprints On Water, the Adil Hussain and Nimisha Sajayan starrer that focuses on illegal immigration nexuses within the underbelly of Birmingham. Shergill is the co-producer and lead actor of the short Kaur. The short premiered on ITVX and is now being adapted into a feature.

Two days before, he’s going to the movies with his bride-to-be and their entire wedding party for a double feature of Greta Gerwig’s very pink romp “Barbie” and Christopher Nolan’s extremely dark historical drama “Oppenheimer.” “It stemmed from a joke, and then we started to actually create a plan,” Konikoff says. “So, the double bill is a little wedding-adjacent party.” As soon as the second movie lets out at 1 a.m. — “it’s bed!” he adds. “And then we drive to the venue.

Steven Spielberg predicted an “implosion” in the Hollywood film industry 10 years ago, whereby he warned of ticket price fluctuation as a result of failing blockbuster films.Speaking at the opening of a new media centre at the University of Southern California alongside George Lucas back in June 2013, the directors envisioned a world in which the failure of half a dozen $250million (£190million) movies could result in a dramatic ticket price variances.Spielberg told USC students (via Hollywood Reporter) that price increases could mean “you’re gonna have to pay $25 for the next Iron Man, you’re probably only going to have to pay $7 to see Lincoln”.He added that students were trying to enter the industry at a time when event more established directors struggled with getting commercial releases into cinemas, saying his Oscar-winning 2013 film Lincoln came “this close” to premiering on HBO instead of a theatrical release.The Jaws director went on to say that some ideas from younger filmmakers are “too fringe-y for the movies”.He said: “That’s the big danger, and there’s eventually going to be an implosion – or a big meltdown.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Despite reports over the years that Warner Bros. was courting the likes of Donald Glover, Ezra Miller and Ryan Gosling to play Willy Wonka, it was only Timothée Chalamet who got the offer to lead director Paul King’s prequel musical “Wonka.” And Chalamet didn’t even have to audition. King recently told Rolling Stone that he was a Chalamet “stan” and thus knew the actor had the singing and dancing chops required to play Wonka. “It was a straight offer because he’s great and he was the only person in my mind who could do it,” King said. “But because he’s Timothée Chalamet and his life is so absurd, his high school musical performances are on YouTube and have hundreds of thousands of views. So I knew from stanning for Timmy Chalamet that he could sing and dance really well.”
