“Jackie the Wolf,” which will have its world premiere at Hot Docs in the World Showcase program, has debuted its trailer with Variety (below). Deckert Distribution has boarded the film as its world sales agent.
The film is a personal exploration of the life and eventual death of right-to-die activist Jacqueline Jencquel, directed through the lens of her son, filmmaker Tuki Jencquel.
“In 2018, my mother announced her assisted suicide plans to the world through a controversial interview with Konbini news, which went on to be seen over 18 million times. I had already been filming my mother on and off for many years, but this interview triggered something urgent in me,” Tuki Jencquel said.
“As a right-to-die activist in France, her personal declaration made her even more visible, which in turn reinforced her convictions. As a filmmaker and as her son, this film has come to mean more to me than I anticipated at the start.

Tuki Jencquel's Está Todo Bien ("It's All Good") is showing June 29 – July 28, 2019 on Mubi in the United States in partnership with the Human Rights Watch Film Festival.We filmed Está Todo Bien between May 2016 and August 2017; before the migrant crisis, before economic sanctions and before Venezuela became international news. Things would get worse, but already then medicine shortages were affecting almost every Venezuelan with a health condition. As we were shooting, the Venezuelan health minister went on an international PR tour to hail what she described as the "the best public health system in the world." On government media, the denial of the health crisis was ubiquitous. The stark discrepancy between the official narrative and the reality for ordinary Venezuelans was so big that it needed to be addressed in the film. The easy way would have been to juxtapose the scenes of the struggling protagonists with footage of...

The Shanghai International Film Festival unveiled a competition lineup Tuesday that features entries from countries ranging from Indonesia to Estonia – but not the U.S., which is engaged in an increasingly bitter trade war with China.
The government-affiliated festival, which runs June 15-24, will open with the premieres of two Chinese films: Huayi Bros.’ patriotic World War II epic “The Eight Hundred,” directed by Guan Hu, and “Chuanyue Shikong de Huhuan” by Zhang Jiarui, according to Chinese website Mtime. Actor Wu Jing – whose “Wolf Warrior II” and “Wandering Earth” are the top two earning films in Chinese film history – will be the festival’s ambassador.
Fifteen films from around the world will vie for the Golden Goblet Award in the main competition. Notable among them are “Many Happy Returns,” a new title directed by Germany-based Uruguayan filmmaker Carlos Morelli and produced by Germany’s Weydemann Brothers, and “Chicuarotes,” Gael Garcia...

President Maduro orders Tracy's detention on suspicions that he had channelled Us money to anti-government protesters
Timothy Tracy was a little-known filmmaker until he was thrown into the international spotlight by the Venezuelan government and accused of working for Us intelligence.
President Nicolás Maduro ordered Tracy's detention on Thursday on suspicions that the 35-year-old American had channelled Us money to student protestors and instigated violent protests in the wake of the presidential election earlier this month.
Citing more than 500 videos as evidence, interior minister Miguel Rodríguez Torres said he had ample proof that Tracy was involved in seditious activities.
President Maduro said Tracy had visited several cities to promote violence and said that he personally ordered his arrest on suspicion of "creating violence in the cities of this country". But friends and associates dispute the claim that he was fomenting unrest.
Tracy, a graduate of Georgetown University, reportedly arrived in...
