Princess of Wales to attend Wimbledon women's singles final
The Princess of Wales will attend the women's singles final at Wimbledon. Kensington Palace said Kate would attend the match between Amanda Anisimova and Iga Swiatek on Saturday. Kate, who is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, will present the trophy on Centre Court to the winner of the final on day 13 of the championships. She will be accompanied on court by All England Club chairwoman Deborah Jevans, All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton and LTA president Sandi Procter. Last year the princess presented the Wimbledon men's final trophy to Carlos Alcaraz, in her second public engagement since she announced her cancer diagnosis. The Princess of Wales's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, were seen in the Royal Box on Monday, with the Duchess of Edinburgh and the Duchess of Gloucester also in attendance. The Queen told tennis star Novak Djokovic that she was keeping her 'fingers crossed' as she visited Wimbledon on Wednesday. The Princess Royal's son Peter Phillips attended the championships on Wednesday, with Hugh Grant and former prime minister Sir John Major also in the Royal Box. Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah, former footballer Ian Wright and Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins were among the notable names to attend a hot day at Wimbledon on Saturday. Temperatures are forecast to peak at around 30C and fall short of a record for a women's singles final day, with 31.2C having been recorded on the day of the 1976 final between Chris Evert and Evonne Goolagong Cawley. Met Office meteorologist Greg Dewhurst said: 'There will be blue skies at Wimbledon throughout the day so it will feel hot, with very high UV levels and a light wind. 'There might be a little bit more cloud around tomorrow, making it a degree lower.' The men's singles semi-final on Friday between Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz was stopped twice in less than five minutes because of crowd emergencies, amid temperatures of 32C on Centre Court. Three fans also needed attention on Centre Court on Thursday in similarly hot conditions. The men's singles final on Sunday, with highs of 29C predicted, is unlikely to break the record of the warmest closing day on record of 34.1C recorded on July 3 1976. The extreme heat during the 1976 tournament prompted organisers to allow umpires to remove their jackets. Wimbledon has said the heat rule will apply for all singles events for players, which allows for a 10-minute break when the wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) is at or above 30.1C. The rule will apply after the second set for all best-of-three-set matches, and after the third for all best-of-five-set matches. Players may leave the court during the break, but they may not receive coaching or medical treatment. Sophie Kneen, 12, will perform the coin toss at the women's singles final on Centre Court, representing the AFC Wimbledon Foundation. Sophie, who is part of the foundation's women and girls inclusion project, told the PA news agency: 'I'm really excited, it's always been a dream of mine to go out on Centre Court.' Asked about the foundation, Sophie said: 'I've been playing football with them and at the development centre for a couple of years now and it's really helped my confidence.' Kate Wells, women and girls' officer at AFC Wimbledon Foundation, said: 'Sophie is such a great, positive energy to have at our sessions, she's really respectful to her coaches and to her peers, and because of that we felt she really deserved to take part in the coin toss ceremony this year.'

Pere Vilà Barceló Shows the Aftermath of Rape – and ‘Long, Complex' Journey Toward Healing – in ‘When a River Becomes the Sea'
Catalan filmmaker Pere Vilà Barceló talks about rape in 'When a River Becomes the Sea.' But he never, ever intended to show it. 'We're focusing on trauma and the process of healing. It's a long and complex journey that many women shared with us in great detail – sometimes even more so than the assault itself,' he tells Variety. More from Variety European Producers Praise New Czech Investment Obligation for Major Streamers, Say Trump Tariffs Turned U.S. Market 'Stone Cold' 'Better Go Mad in the Wild' Review: Twin Brothers Love, Hate and Live Off the Land in an Enchanting Czech Original 'Fucktoys' Review: Annapurna Sriram's Saucy and Singular Sex Comedy Tests the Limits of Good Taste Premiering at Karlovy Vary Film Festival, his intimate drama is about 'moments that don't appear in news headlines,' he explains. 'It explores the margins of the emotional, psychological and social aftermath that often remains invisible. For us, this wasn't only a cinematic choice. It was a matter of respect.' He adds: 'We even shot a courtroom scene but chose to leave it out to avoid re-victimization and any sense of voyeurism or sensationalism. Many survivors describe the judicial process as a second assault, since they often face institutional violence as well. Being doubted, retraumatized or treated without sensitivity.' That's what happens to Gaia as well. The young archaeology student – played by Claud Hernández – is unable to speak about what happened to her for the longest time. When she finally reveals her boyfriend assaulted her, she's met with doubt and dismissal. 'It's something I've heard again and again. Victims are doubted, isolated and dismissed, while the aggressor goes on with his life as if nothing happened, without even being fully aware of the harm he has caused,' observes the director. 'This points to a lack of education, and to the fact that both men and women are raised within a patriarchal society. That's also why I wanted to introduce this archaeological concept – not just as a metaphor, but as a scientific and evolutionary approach. The professor explores historical roots of patriarchy: when did it begin, how did it take shape and who enforced it?' Produced by Xavier Pérez Díaz for Fromzerocinema, 'When a River Becomes the Sea' is 'not just a film,' says Vilà Barceló, but a project 'rooted in social activism and awareness.' One that allowed him to connect with several associations of survivors of gender-based violence. 'These collaborations have helped us bring visibility to their voices and their message,' he says, mentioning testimonies of more than 100 women who have experienced physical and psychological violence, as well as insights from psychologists specialized in the field. 'I'm also working on a series of documentary pieces, including interviews and reports, that – together with the film – can serve as educational and pedagogical tools to foster reflection and awareness.' The whole project started eight years ago, when he was leading a filmmaking workshop at a high school in his hometown. 'When it came to decide the subject of the short film the students would make, someone suggested addressing sexual abuse. Some of the young girls – just 14 or 15 years old – began to share personal experiences of abuse they'd gone through. It deeply affected me.' He wanted to better understand the issue. 'I started conducting interviews with the survivors of all ages. It has not only changed the way I see the world; it has changed me, profoundly. As a person, as a filmmaker, I carry these stories with me.' At one point in the film, desperate and confused, Gaia wonders: 'Is it always going to be like this?' 'It's not just a moment of despair – it's a moment of disorientation. She no longer recognizes herself. She doesn't understand the person she has become, or why someone, against her will, has forced this change upon her,' he says about the scene. 'I remember one interview with a 14-year-old girl who gave a powerful description of how she felt. She said: 'It's like someone unzipped me, took everything out, scrambled it all up, then stuffed it all back inside and zipped me up again.' When Gaia asks that question, what she's really asking is: 'Will I ever go back to who I was?' And sadly, the answer is no.' Instead, she'll go through a painful process that'll 'lead her to become someone else, with a deeper understanding of herself.' And she'll do it with the help of her father (Àlex Brendemühl), even though he feels helpless at first. 'Her father finds himself unable to communicate with someone he's known since the day she was born. He has no idea how to reach her. She enters a new emotional code that neither he, nor most of the people around her, are equipped to understand. They haven't been taught how to process or recognize certain emotions.' Vilà Barceló couldn't ignore the fact that sexual violence also 'profoundly affects the fathers, brothers and partners of many women.' 'That's why it felt essential to focus on his ongoing effort, his struggle to understand something that, to him, was unimaginable,' he notes, intending to portray the kind of masculinity 'that's not toxic, but compassionate.' 'Most people are not prepared, or sometimes not even willing, to face situations like the one portrayed in the film. Her father, despite not having that emotional education, chooses to look directly at his daughter and stay by her side. His presence is quiet, but for me, that's a powerful gesture.' He says: 'Men also need to be a part of the struggle for equality and that starts with caring for the people we love. This is an issue that should affect all of us, regardless of gender.'

Oscar-Nominated Actor Almost Charts His First Top 10 Hit
Antonio Banderas scores his highest-charting hit on a Billboard list with 'Cancion del Mariachi,' ... More which reaches the Latin Digital Song Sales chart alongside Los Lobos. MADRID, SPAIN - APRIL 08: Spanish actor Antonio Banderas attends the Talía Awards photocall at All In One Caixa Bank Space on April 08, 2024 in Madrid, Spain. (Photo by) Not all actors are known as singers, but if any star lasts long enough in Hollywood, they're bound to find themselves in some sort of production that features music. There's a long history of celebrities reaching the Billboard charts, not by launching music careers, but by appearing in films and TV shows that require them to sing. Antonio Banderas is one such movie star, and this week, he not only earns a new hit on a Billboard ranking, but nearly claims his first top 10 ever. Antonio Banderas Almost Charts a Top 10 Hit Banderas debuts on the Latin Digital Song Sales chart this week at No. 11. He joins the group Los Lobos on 'Cancion del Mariachi,' which misses the highest region on Billboard's ranking of the bestselling Latin tracks in the U.S. by just one space. Antonio Banderas Earns a Second Career Smash 'Cancion del Mariachi' marks the second hit on any Billboard tally for Banderas, and as it arrives, it instantly becomes his biggest. Early in 2024, Banderas scored his first popular song on the Hot Christian Songs tally. He was credited as a soloist alongside Joel Smallbone and as part of the cast of Journey to Bethlehem. The track, 'Good to Be King,' spent a single turn at No. 48 on the 50-spot ranking of the biggest Christian tracks in America. Los Lobos Joins Antonio Banderas Los Lobos is not brand new to the Latin Digital Song Sales chart like Banderas, but the group hasn't scored a new win in 15 years. Prior to 'Cancion del Mariachi' debuting, the band reached as high as No. 2 in November 2023 with 'La Bamba,' which originally arrived here in May of 2010. Just a few months after scoring its first win. 'Yo Canto' debuted and peaked at No. 12 on the same list, so the group has now accrued just three placements on the Latin tally. Robert Rodriguez's El Mariachi Trilogy 'Cancion del Mariachi' is featured on a compilation titled Mexico and Mariachis: Music From and Inspired by Robert Rodriguez's El Mariachi Trilogy. The album was released in 2018, but the song itself is much older. Tied to a series of films by the director, which is sometimes known as the Mexico Trilogy or the Desperado Trilogy, it features three Western action films written and directed by the talented filmmaker. The collection includes El Mariachi, Desperado, and Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Banderas portrayed the character of El Mariachi in both Desperado and Once Upon a Time in Mexico, which were separated by almost a decade.
