Brigitte Bardot, 1960s sultry sex symbol turned militant animal rights activist, dies at 91 | Entertainment-others News

Brigitte Bardot, the French 1960s sex symbol who became one of the greatest screen sirens of the 20th century and later a militant animal rights activist, has died. She was 91. Bruno Jacquelin, of the Brigitte Bardot Foundation for the protection of animals, told The Associated Press that she died Sunday at her home in southern France, and would not provide a cause of death. He said no arrangements have yet been made for funeral or memorial services. She had been hospitalized last month. Brigitte Bardot became an international celebrity as a sexualized teen bride in the 1956 movie And God Created Woman. Directed by her then-husband, Roger Vadim, it triggered a scandal with scenes of the long-legged beauty dancing on tables naked. At the height of a cinema career that spanned some 28 films and three marriages, Bardot came to symbolize a nation bursting out of bourgeois respectability. Her tousled, blond hair, voluptuous figure and pouty irreverence made her one of France’s best-known stars. Such was her widespread appeal that in 1969 her features …

Palestine 36, Dr Biju’s Papa Buka reveal how stories of the marginalised and wronged are interconnected | Entertainment-others News

Are there really winners in wars? There might be at the ruling elite levels. Even if history textbooks label one side as the winner in a battle, at the grassroots level, there are only losers — those who lost everything. “It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder,” Albert Einstein famously said, and director Dr Biju’s latest film, Papa Buka, which was recently screened at the 30th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK), begins with this quote. Entirely set in Papua New Guinea (PNG), the movie discusses the story of the indigenous people and how they were exploited by Australia, their colonisers, even sending them to fight in wars that had nothing to do with them, and subsequently displacing them from their own lands, almost erasing them from the annals of history. During the opening ceremony of the 30th IFFK on December 12, Canadian filmmaker Kelly Fyffe-Marshall, who was bestowed with the festival’s prestigious Spirit of Cinema Award, said, “The injustice towards one community is …

ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW VIDEO “Hundreds of people surrounded us. Among them was a man who was crying and telling how he loved Om more than his own brother, as the actor had shown what it means to be humane. I thought that was the greatest compliment an actor can receive,” Griffiths recalls. Working on the 1997 film, a powerful immigrant tale based on the eponymous short story by Hanif Kureishi, was an “eye-opening experience”, the Australian actor told The Indian Express. “…because we in Australia weren’t telling the stories of immigration and how the next generation was feeling the way those in Britain did.” Griffiths is in Panaji for the International Film Festival of India, where the restored cut of her 1994 debut film, Muriel’s Wedding, was screened Saturday.
