Laurel Halo has announced a new album called Atlas, as well as a run of 2023 tour dates. The record is out September 22nd, and lead single “Belleville” is available to stream below.
Halo began writing Atlas on the piano before she took up a residency at Ina-grm Studios in Paris, where she transformed her initial compositions into the type of experimental music she’s known for. In addition to laying down guitar, violin, and vibraphone, Bendik Giske provided saxophone, Lucy Railton played cello, and James Underwood and Coby Sey contributed additional violin and vocals, respectively. The album will be the debut release on Halo’s new label Awe; pre-orders are ongoing.
Kicking off later this month and extending until November, Halo’s 2023 tour of Europe and North America includes both DJ sets and performances specifically tied to Atlas. See her full itinerary below, and grab tickets via Ticketmaster.

Shoring up artistic director Orwa Nyrabia’s commitment to showcasing more women’s stories and platforming more women’s voices, Idfa has announced that this year’s festival features the highest percentage of female filmmakers in the event’s 31-year history: 64% of competition titles and 47% of the total program.
“Reaching a fairer representation was much easier than it seemed to be,” noted Nyrabia. “We only had to keep our goal in mind. The outstanding films that found their way to us this year was a humble reminder that we are in the presence of exceptional female filmmakers.”
The festival opens with the world premiere of Mehrdad Oskouei’s “Sunless Shadows,” which depicts five young Iranian women complicit in the murders of abusive husbands, fathers, or brothers-in-law. Oskouei’s film competes in the Feature-Length Documentary Competition alongside Jørgen Leth’s “I Walk”; Heidi Hassan and Patricia Pérez Fernández’s “In a...

They’ve explored pollution in the Urals, freight trains in China, and daily life in the world capital of fake news. Now the Dutch art crusaders have imagined Europe’s future – and it’s very medieval
On the way to meet the Dutch film-makers Metahaven, I have a very Metahaven experience. The Eurostar from London to Amsterdam grinds to a halt almost as soon as it crosses the border into the Netherlands. It sits stranded on the high-speed track for two hours before smoke starts billowing from the train. A voice is heard over the intercom: “Don’t worry,” it says, “it’s just the brakes.”
The scene could come from the duo’s own work, which these days focuses on late capitalism in which traditional forms of authority have broken down, online platforms have stolen our attention and seemingly advanced systems – like rail networks – are forever glitching.

CEO of the Netherlands Film Fund Doreen Boonekamp has stated that the “talent drain” in the Dutch industry is coming to an end.
Thanks to the cash rebate system, now in its fourth year, Boonekamp believes that filmmakers are more easily able to pursue careers in the Netherlands while also managing collaboration with international partners.
Films including Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk and Ryan Reynolds/Samuel L. Jackson buddy thriller The Hitman’s Bodyguard are among big-canvas international films to shoot in the Netherlands in 2016 and other big-budget films are continuing to come to the country, among them John Crowley’s adaptation of Donna Tartt’s novel, The Goldfinch. Made through Warner Bros and Amazon Studios and starring Ansel Elgort, the project has received €565,945 in Dutch cash rebate funding in the last awards round in late December.
