The beloved documentarian, social commentarian and perhaps a prophet Adam Curtis talks about his latest documentary SHIFTY, culture, the old world shifting in the new world, and his views on what art does and doesn't do (like changing the world). Take a look at the trailer in the article as well - the sound is so excellent. https://www.dazeddigital.com/film-tv/article/68120/1/adam-curtis-dubious-that-art-can-change-world-shifty-documentary-interview-bbc?utm_source=Dazed%20Daily%20%7C%20Complete&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=The%20Download%2003.07.25%20%2801JZ8EQ29ETK2TXG7DF8SCFKHZ%29&_kx=-3Gn2OcBpweIq00vWh3V66pPMNVFi-SitbBfV16z7io.YsDqRL

In the film idustry news: the Warner Discovery behemoth, that joined forces a few years back, is divorcing! Warner’s TV channels (including CNN, TNT, and TBS), as well as Discovery+ and Bleacher Report, will live within a newly created entity called Global Networks. Meanwhile, its film studios and streaming services (including HBO Max), will become part of Streaming & Studios, which will be helmed by current CEO David Zasla. Interesting, no? I have a hunch that they're splitting because they're preparing for a slow death of cable TV... What do you think?

Good news at Netflix, as they acquired DEVO, In Waves and War, I'm Your Venus and more documentaries that did well in the festival circuit but didn't have a distribution. Hell yeah! ! https://www.indiewire.com/news/business/netflix-documentaries-six-buys-1235128129/?utm_source=DOC+NYC&utm_campaign=8448feaa7b-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_12_17_07_49_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_d83fd8be6c-8448feaa7b-270193496&mc_cid=8448feaa7b&mc_eid=0a12c9f805 Also, an important number for notoriously hard to distribute political documentary: No Other Land made $3.6 million worldwide just in theatrical release. That's big.
