Willem Dafoe, Richard E. Grant, Kathryn Hahn, Felicity Jones, Joanna Kulig, Thomasin McKenzie, Rosamund Pike and John C. Reilly will discuss indie filmmaking on Nov. 11.

Eight filmmakers currently generating awards buzz for their work on independent films unveiled in 2018 will appear at the 32nd AFI Fest on the fifth annual Indie Contenders Panel, presented by The Hollywood Reporter, which I will be moderating.

This year’s participants will be Willem Dafoe (lead actor, At Eternity’s Gate); Richard E. Grant (supporting actor, Can You Ever Forgive Me?); Kathryn Hahn (lead actress, Private Life); Felicity Jones (lead actress, On the Basis of Sex); Joanna Kulig (lead actress, Cold War); Thomasin McKenzie (supporting actress, Leave No Trace); Rosamund Pike (lead actress, A Private War); and John C. Reilly (lead actor, Stan & Ollie and The Sisters Brothers).

The panel will take place over 90 minutes on Nov. 11 in front of 200 AFI Fest badgeholders and ticketholders at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. It will feature clips and conversation about the challenges and rewards of making indie films. Video will exclusively appear on this blog shortly thereafter. [Source]

On the Basis of Sex is out in the US from Christmas Day, and in UK cinemas from January 4, 2019.

The American Film Institute (AFI) announced that the 32nd edition of AFI FEST presented by Audi will open with the World Premiere of “On the Basis of Sex,” the Felicity Jones-starring Ruth Bader Ginsburg biopic directed by Mimi Leder. “On the Basis of Sex” centers around Ginsburg as a young lawyer as she teams up with her husband, Martin D. Ginsburg (Armie Hammer), to bring a case before the U.S. Court of Appeals that will overturn a century of gender discrimination. The supporting cast includes Justin Theroux, Sam Waterston, Jack Reynor, and Kathy Bates as civil liberties lawyer Dorothy Kenyon.

The Opening Night Gala screening will take place Thursday, November 8, 2018, at the historic TCL Chinese Theatre.

“AFI was founded to celebrate excellence in the art form and to ensure it for future generations,” said Bob Gazzale, President & CEO, AFI in an official statement. “‘On the Basis of Sex’ brings these dual mandates together as one — a story essential to our times and a triumph for one of the first female directors at the AFI Conservatory. It’s our honor to shine a proper light upon Mimi and this landmark film.”

Leder added in her own statement, “As one of the first women ever admitted to the AFI Conservatory, it’s particularly meaningful to me that ‘On the Basis of Sex’ will open AFI FEST 2018,” she said. “My time at the Conservatory was a life-changing experience and informed my creative journey. I am forever grateful. The origin story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, in this 25th anniversary year of her appointment to the Supreme Court, couldn’t come at a more important moment in our history nor be shown at a more relevant place than AFI FEST, a symbol of artistic integrity and the enduring power of cinema. I hope girls and young women in particular will see the film and find inspiration to realize their own unlimited potential.

Just a small update to let you all know that I am going to make a big work here. So sorry for don’t make this before but I was so busy and it wasn’t my best summer. Anyway, will add tons of things soon and also, I would like to change the layout of the site (but I need to save the money first. If you want to donate, please, feel free to do).

I have added the stills of Felicity Jones for ‘On the Basis of Sex’. Go to the gallery and enjoy!
