The death of film making pioneer Agnes Varda has continued to send reverberations through the film community and the honorifics and reminiscences continue to appear online and in major publications. As I did on Monday, I have linked a few more of those here:

Manohla Dargis for The New York Times
Jude Dry for Indiewire with comments from female film makers including: Greta Gerwig, Ava Duvernay, Lena Dunham and a dozen others.
REPORT FROM CINEMACON: THE GOLDFINCH

CinemaCon attendees got the first look at a trailer for John Crowley's adaptation of Donna Tartt's Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Goldfinch earlier this week.
The film is certainly on my watch list as a potential choice by TFF programmers for this year's fest. The film is scheduled for U.S. release on Sept. 13th and is from the combination of Warner Bros. and Amazon Studios. The combination of factors means that it could play any or all of the combination of Telluride, Venice and Toronto.
Kate Erbland writing for Indiewire filed this report from CinemaCon detailing the roll out of the first filmed images of the film.
NEW TITLE FOR RADEGUND
Amid fevered speculation that Terrence Malick's new film will be announced as a competition film for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival on April 18th came news this week that its title has officially been changed.
The film has been discussed for months with the working title Radegund. However, Indiewire's Zack Sharf reported on Tuesday that the film will now be titled A Hidden Life.
The film follows the true story of World War II Austrian Conscientious Objector Franz Jagerstatter who was executed by the Nazis in 1943.
Sharf's story from Indiewire is linked here.
A Hidden Life is on my TFF #45 watch list.
THANKS TO WORLD OF REEL FOR THE INVITATION
I got a nice invite from Jordan Ruimy of the World of Reel website to participate in a project he is currently working on. I don't want to give away what it is until Jordan is ready to unveil it but I did want to publicly give him a thank you and a shout out and tell you that something is in the works.
