BUDAPEST: The year 2020 started as a good one. The National Film Institute – Hungary (NFI) was established in January 2020 as the successor of the Hungarian National Film Fund, and Barnabás Tóth s historical drama Those Who Remained / Akik maradtak, produced by Inforg-M&M Film, got on the short list in the Academy Awards International Feature Film category.

Ram, a much more elaborately produced album, although the pastiche song Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey did hit #1 in the U.S., and wasn t even a single in McCartney s native U.K.
Netflix has saturated its platform with thousands of hours of original content over the past few years, with programming becoming more bold as time progresses. But sometimes, all we really need is something minimal.
Rosalind Miles Considers Progress, Change, and Lady Novelists
February 5, 2021
Women make progress in times of change, when the old certainties break down and create cracks and fissures in the monoliths they previously could never hope to penetrate.
Some spirited women found their natural home in untamed pockets of the globe like the Wild West of the young USA. In the early days of the American frontier, the daredevil horsewoman and army scout Martha Jane Cannary wore men’s clothes for safety as well as convenience, and earned the nickname “Calamity Jane” by warning any men who messed with her that they were “
