Brad Pitt and George Clooney are starring in the new comedy directed by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, Burn After Reading.

Are Tilda Swinton and Mark Cousins trying to embarrass the Edinburgh Film Festival? Its patron and former artistic director, respectively, they are starting their own festival on the dates that were this year abandoned by the event. Not only that, but they're creating a festival that's innovative, individual and getting the sort of buzz that's usually the preserve of Cannes, Venice and Sundance.

In this week's paper, Charles Mudede writes about a film that succeeds by eschewing cinema's "fruity old aunt" (those words by Tilda Swinton), theater, Alexander Sokurov's Alexandra . In the department of crossover artists, I'd also like to point to Implied Violence , a performance company that this weekend begins its triptych, Our Summary in Sequence .

An entire catwalk of models dressed as Tilda Swinton; a dress covered in bells that you can hear before you can see; one model wearing an entire collection… such is life in the fabulous House of Viktor and Rolf installation at the Barbican. Including samples of each collection’s couture, as well as pieces of their early work and live footage of their innovative shows, the epicentre of the exhibition...

Tilda Swinton is backing what sounds like it could be the smallest International Film Festival around, although I'm sure there's one smaller somewhere. She's backing the Nairn Film Festival which is called The Ballerina Ballroom Cinema of Dreams and is located in Nairn, in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland – my birthplace! You can get through the door for the fee of home baking, and there are films...

After the first trailer was pushed out, there were some groans about Brad Pitt putting on the dunce cap for Joel and Ethan Coen’s upcoming spy-comedy-of-errors, Burn After Reading, but really, would a return of the hamfisted Brad of Babel be more welcome than his dumbest role since Floyd in True Romance?

Venice Film Festival ( VENICE, ITALY) La Biennale sent over a press release. Burn After Reading sounds so cool that I just might get my press pass this year and go to the film festival. Even though the film festival sounds glamorous, it is actually a huge amount of work, and I haven't gone for the last few years. But I LOVE the Cohen brothers, and it stars lots of the Hollywood Good Guys: George Clooney
