Ann Hui: Icon of Hong Kong’s ‘New Wave’ Cinema

"From her ability to craft a poignant story to her unflinching looks at society’s problems big and small, it’s no wonder Ann has achieved such critical success. Though she is solidly an influential figure in Hong Kong cinema, Ann’s talent should be recognized worldwide."

I urge every reader to watch this film – as it is only through telling these stories that anything will change." - Farah Elattar

Today FF2 is celebrating Etta James. 20 years ago,

Today FF2 is celebrating Etta James. 20 years ago, she received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, an award given to “performers who, during their lifetimes, have made creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance to the field of recording.”

Etta James is one of America’s most beloved singers, with a beautifully rich singing voice that shines across genres; throughout her career, she has sung in the style of R&B, pop, blues, jazz, and even gospel. Etta’s remarkable voice is behind some of the most well-loved songs ever, including “At Last,” “I’d Rather Go Blind,” “A Sunday Kind of Love,” and “All I Could Do Was Cry.”

Oscar 2023 Has No Place for ‘The Woman King’

"Sadly, it really shouldn’t be a surprise that 'The Woman King' did not receive any nominations... Realistically, 'The Woman King' did not stand a chance at being nominated because it centers on Blackness and sisterhood, qualities that the Academy does not seem to value." - Courtney Stanley (@courtmeetsworld) on @gpbmadeit
