AMP's 10 Mongolian Films Worth Watching
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. As we have mentioned before in our review of films from the country, Mongolian cinema has been taking gradual steps towards a very interesting path, away from the exotification of the country, which usually revolves around stories taking place in green fields, and instead dealing with contemporary themes, which, most of the time, take place in the urban centre. This effort, which is mostly driven from two companies, Mongolfilms Distribution and The Filmbridge has resulted in a number of very intriguing productions, which also, finally, move also towards genre paths, apart from arthouse ones. In this article, we present ten of the most noteworthy, once more with a focus on diversity, in reverse chronological order.

Taste of Cinema - 10 Essential Films For An Introduction To Caribbean Cinema
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. The Caribbean has always been known for its music, food, political conflicts (Cuba’s blockade and Puerto Rico still being the only colony in the world) and its beaches, but it has never been known for its movie industry. In recent years there has been a huge growth in local productions, thus attracting big studios to come to the area to film their movies. Films like “The Rum Diaries”, “Pirates of the Caribbean”, “Cool Running’s” and documentaries like “Sicko”, have all been made in and around the area. Rich in landscapes, tropical beaches, and beautiful women, for some the potential of filmmaking in the Caribbean is relatively unknown; so as a native local I decided to compile a list of some movies from the area you should watch, from animated feature, to comedies, to drama. Hopefully the cinema of the Caribbean can get to an international standing in the coming years. But for now, here’s a preliminary list of what I consider to be an excellent introduction to the film styles of the Caribbean. Posted on July 5, 2014 by Ivan Negroni -
The Reporter Ethiopia's Top 10
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Wondimagegn Lema September 9, 2023 Filmmaker’s top 10 picks of Ethiopian cinematic greats The coming Ethiopian New Year is the perfect time to catch up on some of Ethiopia’s best films that didn’t receive as wide an audience as they deserved upon release. While these thoughtful, nuanced movies have stood the test of time, revealing new layers with each viewing, they remained relatively unseen by Ethiopian moviegoers at the time. However, the films’ scripts, production quality, ideas, and acting were exceptional, far beyond typical Ethiopian cinema. Titles like Yenegen alweldime, Lomi Shita, and Yetsehay Mewcha lijoch in particular deserve bigger platforms, as they have yet to be uploaded to YouTube for wider audiences to discover. As you plan your Ethiopian New Year film marathon, be sure to include overlooked gems that are sure to provide perspective and spark discussion for years to come. Enjoy exploring Ethiopia’s rich cinematic history from the comfort of your own home this holiday season.
