Rhizomes are a five-piece based in France who have spent the last few years carving their psychedelic rock with oriental sounds. They popped by the arts24 studio to tell Marjorie Hache about their debut eponymous EP on which they sing in French, English, Arabic and Hebrew and whose aim is to unify and grow the same way as the subterranean horizontally growing roots that inspired their name. We also check out new releases by Californian pop metal artist Poppy, British rapper-producer Labrinth and Japanese-American indie darling Mitski.
Award-winning Malaysian author Tash Aw kicks off a sprawling family saga with coming-of-age novel "The South". He tells us about returning to the Malaysia of the 1990s and reflects on a society within which homophobic laws existed, but small queer communities were relatively visible. We also talk about how climate change has been driving waves of migration in Southeast Asia and why embarking on an ambitious literary project is a risky but rewarding business.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have announced the nominees for the 98th Academy Awards, with Ryan Coogler's vampire horror "Sinners" leading the charge. Racking up a record 16 nominations in various categories, "Sinners" is followed by Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another", on 13 nominations. FRANCE 24's Olivia Salazar-Winspear takes us through the movies and the movie stars who could be in line for a gold statuette on March 15.
As surveillance footage comes to light revealing the circumstances of the Louvre heist three months ago, police are still searching for the stolen jewels. Valued at some €88 million, these precious treasures have now been added to a catalogue of stolen artworks.
Manon Kerjean tells us why Pierre Niney's performance in "Gourou" recalls the punchy rhetoric of American coaches in Yann Gozlan's latest film. But first, we discuss the big winners at this year's Lumières awards, selected by the foreign press in Paris, as François Ozon's adaptation of "L'Étranger" picks up the top prize. Manon also tells us why Erige Sehiri's film "Promised Sky" provides an insight into the socio-political reality in Tunisia and raises powerful points about families, both biological and chosen. Plus we check out the film adaptation of the beloved French comic "Les Légendaires".
One year after Donald Trump's return to power, FRANCE 24's Eve Jackson revisits the paradoxical and conflictual relationship between the US president and culture and the arts. From controversial appointments in Hollywood, to attacks on diversity policies, to the symbolic takeover of the Kennedy Center, the US president intends to regain control of the American cultural narrative. Faced with this pressure, artists and institutions are getting organised, taking a stand and mobilising for freedom of speech.
One year after Donald Trump's return to power, country music finds itself at the heart of America's deepening political and cultural divide. In this second episode, arts24 explores how a genre once seen as a unifying symbol of tradition and shared values has become a battleground for competing visions of America.
On the occasion of the one-year anniversary of Donald Trump's return to the White House, arts24 travels to the undisputed world capital of country music – Nashville, Tennessee – for a special two-part programme exploring how this quintessentially American genre has become both a global force and a mirror of a deeply divided nation.
A new year, new seasons and no shortage of must-see television: January's TV series show on arts24 dives into the biggest returns and boldest new chapters on the small screen, guided by arts24 TV critic Dheepthika Laurent and presented by Eve Jackson. We kick off in Paris with the world premiere of "Bridgerton" season four. This new chapter centres on Benedict Bridgerton, the family's free-spirited second son, played by Luke Thompson, whose Cinderella-inspired romance with Sophie – portrayed by Australian actress Yerin Ha – opens up the "downstairs" world for the first time.
Should access to culture come at a higher price for some visitors? This week on arts24, we examine the growing controversy over rising entrance fees at Europe's most iconic cultural sites, as France moves to charge non-European visitors more at the Louvre and Versailles – a decision that has sparked debate over fairness, funding and universal access to art.
Her performance as Shakespeare's wife in "Hamnet" won Jessie Buckley the best actress award at the Golden Globes. Our film critic Emma Jones tells us why Chloé Zhao's sensitive direction has made the film a serious contender in the upcoming Academy Awards.
Her intricately layered artwork uses metal, rubber, canvas and printmaking to create scenes of oppression, trauma and renewal. As she stages her first major exhibition in Paris, Kathia St Hilaire joins us to talk about weaving her Haitian ancestry into her pieces, how Vodun practices inspire her work and why the late Haitian poet Frankétienne is a kindred spirit when it comes to his cyclical vision of a chaotic world.
In this edition of our arts24 music show, Jennifer Ben Brahim chats with musical polymath Jowee BasH! Omicil. The Haitian-Canadian artist blends jazz with Creole traditions, gospel, hip-hop and voodoo rhythms. He's worked with the likes of André 3000, Tony Allen and Ibrahim Maalouf. He's just released his 11th album "sMiLes", a manifesto celebrating personal expression and the courage to take risks.
When the Clooney family were granted French citizenship, the news made headlines around the world. The US president weighed in on their choice, sparking a war of words; we learn more about the transatlantic row pitting Hollywood against la vie en France. Also, a new film about the British featherweight who became a giant of boxing brings "Prince" Naseem Hamed's life and career to the big screen. Plus we take a closer look at the frozen landscape that helped Claude Monet refine his painting technique during a very cold snap.
British-Hungarian author David Szalay joins Eve Jackson on arts24 to discuss his controversial Booker Prize-winning novel "Flesh", which follows István – a silent, violent and unsettling protagonist – from a bleak Hungarian housing estate to London's super-rich elite. Szalay reveals why he called his book "risky," how he made readers care about someone who says "OK" 400 times and what happens when Stormzy and Dua Lipa champion your work.
We take a look at the French films kicking off 2026, as Manon Kerjean tells us about 'Furcy', the true story of a slave living on Reunion Island in the early 19th century who discovers that he was, in fact, born free. We also discuss the moving family drama "The Wonderers" and hear from début director Joséphine Japy about bringing her personal experience to the film.
His photography captures faces, figures and fleeting moments, and gives us the bigger picture when it comes to the social, cultural and political landscape. Franco-British photographer Ed Alcock is the winner of the Prix Niépce Gens d'Images, France's oldest photography award, and he joins us to discuss the imagery that caught the jury's attention. From family mysteries to the Brexit vote in 2016, Alcock takes a socio-realist approach to making photographs; the artist tells us why his documentary series are often prompted by deeply personal questions.
French rap metal band Rise of the Northstar formed in 2008, but have been making a name for themselves over the last few years touring Europe and the Americas and collaborating with other hotly tipped French metalheads Landmvrks. They recently released their fourth album "Chapter 04: Red Falcon Super Battle! Neo Paris War!!" and sold out Paris's Olympia. Guitarist Eva B and drummer Phantom popped by the FRANCE 24 studios to chat to Marjorie Hache. Together they also check out new releases by London's Dry Cleaning, Mongolia's Uuhai and Manchester's The Cribs.
Like it or not, AI is here to stay. Time magazine named the "architects of AI" as 2025's person of the year. In this edition, we focus on artificial intelligence and entertainment. A UK AI-focused studio recently released "Non Player Combat", which it calls the world's first AI-generated reality TV show. Dheepthika Laurent talks to Tom Paton, CEO of the studio and in a first, we interview Clara, the AI host of the show!
FRANCE 24's Charli James previews the new exhibit "All About Love" at the Grand Palais in Paris, which is celebrating the superstar American artist Mickalene Thomas.
