...documentary, filmed during a 2008 playoff game between the Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs, Lee used more than two dozen cameras and a microphone Velcroed to Bryant's jersey to capture the action on the court. Behind the scenes, viewers also see Bryant's tranquil pregame routine and his interactions with head coach Phil Jackson during a halftime chalk talk. TIME spoke with Lee a week after the documentary's world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival...
...Also returning is Spain's Pedro Almodóvar, arguably - actually, since we're writing this, unquestionably - the world's most delight-giving director.

Roger missed the last two festivals battling throat cancer but will be back this year, his critical voice as strong as ever...

Matted stills from the classic 1942 film lined the walls connecting the formal’s three main areas, each of which had a decidedly different feel. Those looking for the typical Harvard dance experience—i.e., sweaty writhing in a dark room with DJ Straus—found what they wanted in the Lev Old Library. Across the hall in the JCR, formal-goers enjoyed a tasty chocolate fountain while random revelers, presumably aided by the free-flowing open bar (FlyBy...
