The Black Panther: Wakanda Forever premiere includes red-carpet tributes to Chadwick Boseman; Hugh Jackman honors his late father in The Son; in praise of Jenny the miniature donkey from Banshees of Inisherin; congratulations to the winners of the Newport Beach Film Festival and Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival; until next year, SCAD. All in today’s Movie News Rundown.
So Long, SCAD: Yesterday was my last day at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival, and I miss it already! It’s still going on until Saturday, so it’s not too late to drop in if you’re in Savannah. My favorite thing about SCAD is watching movies in a theater full of college students. Their squeals of delight when Timothée Chalamet walks on screen for the first time in Bones and All — and their groans of disgust when he starts munching on human flesh — definitely made the movie-watching experience more fun. Triangle of Sadness, X and Pearl were other highlights. There’s just nothing else quite like watching a movie in a crowded theater.
