Steven Spielberg’s “Schindler’s List” just turned 30 years old and has been celebrated all over again, especially in a great THR oral history; Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone Of Interest” was nominated for four Oscars, including Best Picture and Best International Feature, and it seems like remembering the horrors of Holocaust is a topic of the moment again.

It’s been said a million times already, but it remains true—some of the most interesting stories are being told on TV rather than in films. With the film industry becoming more and more reliant either on franchises and blockbusters or low-budget horror, there’s not a lot of space for the mid-budget adult drama.

Serving in Secret.The documentary, a co-production of MSNBC Films and TIME Studios, is one of several films in Trevor Noah’s documentary series “The Turning Point,” a collection that examines hot-button issues in the United States.

Halloween is officially over, so you know what time it is—Christmas! Well, at least that’s what the studios hope you are excited for, as they begin to roll out their holiday fare.

Is it a sign of the changing, dwindling (?) times, or is it just akin to a VOD release? Either way, the well-regarded SXSW genre film, “If You Were the Last,” starring Anthony Mackie and Zoë Chao as astronauts in a sci‑fi rom‑com, just had its trailer released, and the film comes out… today. How’s that for heads-up marketing? As the title suggests, the film is about…not the last two people on Earth, but certainly, the last two people at the end of a long space expedition.
