Fests and events, 2/24.

Cineuropa has two pieces on two films heading to Cannes: Annika Pham on Aki Kaurismäki's Lights in the Dusk and Vitor Pinto on Albert Serra's Honor de Caballeria, slated for the Director's Fortnight.

Acquarello at Cinemarati: "The Film Society of Lincoln Center website decided to link directly to the online ticketing system for the Rendez-vous with French Cinema series, so I thought I'd post the film schedule here."

Why did Hans Helmut Prinzler choose as his last Berlinale Retrospective the "Dream Women" of the 50s? Geoffrey Macnab asks him for the Independent.

I'd disagree, but Ekkehard Knörer argues at signandsight argues that, as a result of a "forced concentration on artistically rather uninteresting would-be political arthouse cinema," the Berlinale "has, in truth, been hollowed out beneath its outwardly thriving surface."

At Hollywood Bitchslap, yet more SXSW interviews.
