The only way to solve the issue is population reduction.

Russia is going to be vital in providing food to Europe and the rest of the world and that is who everyone decided to sanction. Russia will have record food crop production while every other country is screwed.

In the meantime everyone is Europe is burning coal and wood, Africa is experiencing a population explosion, and its another year year of heat waves that limit food and energy production, dry up water resources and what else?

Here we go... And a relationship that was born in that period would have lasted and would not self destruct?

I think its fair to say that its an open question if she was cheating on him, given his lack of availability in the relationship.

I didnt like Tom Hanks character at the cross roads choosing to follow the girl down the road to her house towards the happy ending. It wrapped up too cleanly, would have preferred to seen it more true to life with the guy devastated that he had no friends, no life, no prospects, no direction, sitting alone by himself on another kind of island.

What does that have to do with the selection process? Films should be chosen based on their strength, is it good art or is it shit. I want to see good films, I dont care about the narrative the selection committee of a film festival is trying to push. The film should stand on its own merit.

Have you been to a film festival and had to sit through endless series of fucking terrible films. And then found out later through the discussion panel they were chosen specifically because of the filmmakers background. What happened to just picking films based on the work?

After awhile you begin to not go to film festivals and just watch only the things you want to watch online. Now it seems the only people who show up to film festivals are the filmmakers and their friends.

If the movie about the 'transphobic gay guy' is good, people are going to watch it, they are watching all the other bullshit, if its good they will probably even pay attention while its playing. It would be at a film festival not at your local theater or streaming on netflix.

Found footage style films would be ok if the filmmakers didnt add more camera shake, a narrow depth of field, or weird lens choices. If everything was shot with an old vhs camcorder, handycam, gopro, or cellphone and they just fucking left it alone didnt try to add effects to it. Those movies would be easier to watch.
