POSTER FOR NOMADLAND

We have a look at a poster for Chloe Zhao's Nomadland.  THe film has the distinction of being selected for all four of the major fall fests.  In addition to TFF #47, the film was selected by Toronto, Venice and New York as well.

The Nomadland poster was revealed on the official Nomadland Twitter account on Monday.  Here it is:


IMDb describes Nomadland as follows:


"A woman in her sixties who, after losing everything in the Great Recession, embarks on a journey through the American West, living as a van-dwelling modern-day nomad."



THE KINGMAKER GETS BANNED



Lauren Greenfield's The Kingmaker, the documentary about former Philippine First Lady and political powerhouse Imelda Marcos which screened as a part of TFF #46, has been banned from screening in parts of Thailand.

The film has apparently played in parts of Thailand but, according to Variety, the film has been prevented from screening in the southern part of that nation.  One official cited by Variety suggests that the objection to the film was primarily related to its title and poster not the film's content.
