Nick Vivarelli International CorrespondentChiara Bellosi, whose first work, “Ordinary Justice,” launched from Berlin’s Generation 14plus section in 2020, is back with “Swing Ride” (“Calcinculo”) about an overweight 15-year-old named Benedetta pining for attention in an Italian province where she falls in love with the skinny non-binary Amanda.A key difference between the two films is that while “Ordinary Justice,” which examined the lives of two families on opposite sides of a murder case, originated from a deeply researched screenplay that Bellosi wrote, “Swing Ride” — premiering in Panorama on Feb. 13 — stems from a prizewinning script proposed to her by Carlo Cresto Dina, her producer, who also discovered Alice Rohrwacher (“Happy as Lazzaro”) and is known for nurturing the cream of Italy’s new cinematic crop.   “It’s a very different process; it was the first time that I had to start from a world that didn’t germinate from me,” said Bellosi about working from the script penned by Maria Teresa Venditti and Luca De Bei that won Italy’s prestigious Solinas prize in 2018.It was like moving into a new house that she had to make her own, she said.“I worked with the writers; I wanted to make a few tweaks and we did that together,” she added, noting that initially “it was a leap into the void.” But directing from their screenplay actually ended up giving her “more freedom” than her previous pic because “the container is already there; but you can go pretty wild with the rest.”This freedom also made it more fun.

K.J. Yossman Fresh from appearing in Netflix hit Adam McKay’s “Don’t Look Up,” Mark Rylance’s latest big screen outing is “The Outfit,” in which he stars as Leonard, a 1950s tailor. It is a role that could not be more dissimilar to the fictional megalomaniac billionaire Peter Isherwell, whom Rylance plays in McKay’s disaster movie.Written and directed by Graham Moore, the Oscar-winning scribe behind “The Imitation Game,” “The Outfit” sees Rylance star as a Savile Row tailor who has fled across the Atlantic to escape his tragic past.

Leo Barraclough International Features EditorAhead of Sunday’s world premiere of documentary “1341 Frames of Love and War,” which plays in Berlinale Special, Variety spoke to Israeli writer/director Ran Tal about the film and its subject, Israeli war photographer Micha Bar-Am.In some ways “Frames” continues Tal’s interest in Israeli history evident in his previous work, “What If? Ehud Barak on War and Peace,” which centered on the former prime minister of Israel. Bar-Am was born in Berlin in 1930, but grew up in what became Israel, and across a five decade-long career as a photographer he documented many of the major episodes – in particular the wars – in the life of the young country, founded in 1948.

It unfolds entirely in the central Italian town of Ascoli Piceno, a hidden gem with gorgeous medieval monuments, churches and piazzas.The film’s title translates as “The Shadow of the Day,” a reference to the darkness of Fascism.Luciano (Scamarcio), a wounded World War I veteran and a sympathizer of Fascism like most Italians at the time, runs a classy restaurant overlooking the town’s ancient square.

Jim Goodwin's men will be facing an even tougher task on Saturday with no away backing whatsoever for the difficult match. St Mirren did secure a first win at Celtic Park in 31 years last season, with strikes from Ilkay Durmus and Kristian Dennis securing a famous 2-1 victory behind closed doors.

Celtic Park for their fixture on Saturday, with the hosts forced to move some of their supporters to the away section. While Scotland has moved to level zero Covid restrictions, there are still protocols which apply to football stadiums.One such rule is that there must be a sanitary 'red zone' in the stadium which cannot be occupied by fans.

Jim Goodwin refused to put the boot into his penalty takers, but admits his side paid for their wastefulness in West Lothian.The Buddies exited the Premier Sports Cup in the last-16 after being put out on spot kicks, with 120 minutes of action unable to separate Saints and Livingston on Saturday afternoon.And while the St Mirren boss paid tribute to his takers for their bravery, he believes his side should have taken an all-important lead in the first half with Greg Kiltie and Eamonn Brophy both spurning excellent chances.He told Express Sport: “We’ve been on the right end of penalty shootouts on two or three occasions last season, this time we’re on the wrong end of it.“It’s a lottery.

Jim Goodwin won’t mind whatever way his players serve up a win this weekend, as long as it is victory he’s tasting tomorrow night. Less than eight months ago, St Mirren took on Livingston at Hampden with a place in the League Cup final tantalisingly up for grabs.

St Mirren team.The Buddies were linked with a loan move for the Northern Ireland international earlier this week.And speaking today Goodwin revealed he tried to bag the 26-year-old's permanent signature last year before he opted on a move to Pittodrie instead of Paisley.The Saints boss is hopeful he'll have a new attacking recruit in by early next week at the latest.He told Renfrewshire Live Sport: "I think we need a bit more pace and creativity in the team and that's what we're working hard on."We're not the only teams out there looking at the same players though, so it's about trying to get the right deal in place that works within the structures of our club."I like Matty a lot, I tried to get him when he was at St Johnstone prior to him

Express Sport: “It was a phenomenal response from my players.“The last 18 months have been so tough, we’ve lost a lot of players and have had to bring a lot of youngsters through.“The loss to Morton the week before was a bit of a freak result, it shouldn’t have been as heavy as it was and it didn’t reflect who we are.“Morton came out and said they annihilated us, which of course just gave our players a huge point to prove.“We worked really hard, defended really well and totally deserved all three points. To do it at Cappielow as well was pretty special.“Morton may feel like they had more clear cut chances, but at the end of the day this game is about scoring goals.“We worked our socks off and it was a real team effort.
