hollywoodreporter.com:

Italy's Far East Film Festival is making a slight change to the dates for its 2021 edition in order to align with cinemas reopening in the country.

The 23rd edition of the specialist festival, highly regarded in Asia, is now set to open on June 24 and close on July 2 and will now include in-person screenings as well as digital elements.

The dates for the festival, which takes place in the northern town of Udine, have been subject to much change due to the changing nature of the COVID-19 outbreak in Italy.

On Monday, however, the Italian government eased restrictions on cinemas, bars and restaurants in low-risk areas as case numbers declined and the vaccination rollout stepped up around the country.

‘Best Summer Ever’ Review: An Irresistibly Appealing Musical Comedy Brimming with Inclusivity and Exuberance

Joe Leydon Film CriticA smart and sweet riff through “Grease,” “Footloose,” “High School Musical” and scads of other upbeat, teen-skewing entertainments, “Best Summer Ever” greatly impress with its deft balance of affectionate homage and exuberant inclusivity. Working from a peppy screenplay they co-wrote with Will Halby, Andrew Pilkington and Terra Mackintosh, directors Michael Parks Randa and Lauren Smitelli keep the mood so beguilingly light and bright, even during brief romantic setbacks, that it’s remarkably easy to suspend disbelief and gratefully delight in a world where racial divides and ableist prejudices are nonexistent, and just about the only negative stereotype on view is a mean-girl cheerleader.

‘Separation’ Review: A Scattershot and Oft-Misogynistic Thriller

Nick Schager Film CriticArriving on the heels of his “The Boy” and “Brahms: The Boy II,” William Brent Bell’s “Separation” reconfirms the director’s belief that nothing is scarier than creepy killer dolls. His latest, alas, fails to successfully prove that case, and worse, its story about a recently widowed single father struggling with supernatural phenomena is a dull and misogynistic affair that imagines multiple types of women as malevolent fiends who terrorize supposedly sympathetic men.
