'Downton Abbey' is officially moving into the 1930s with the latest teaser trailer for its upcoming movie, 'The Grand Finale.' The movie from Focus Features will premiere theatrically on Sept. 12. The teaser begins with three couples elegantly strolling down the green at a horse race. The teaser then jumps between several more stunning visuals, including a packed theater and Lady Mary Talbot (Michelle Dockery) wowing in a red dress before being dubbed a 'sensation.' The video ends with several shots of the estate as various characters tip their hats and give knowing, somber looks. 'As the beloved cast of characters navigates how to lead Downton Abbey into the future, they must embrace change and welcome a new chapter,' a press release about the upcoming movie reads. Watch the teaser below: Directed by Simon Curtis, the screenplay for 'The Grand Finale' comes from 'Downton' creator as well as Academy-Award winner Julian Fellowes.

Vizag Cinephiles screens ‘Five Broken Cameras'
Vizag Cinephiles, a film club, organised the screening and discussion of the Academy-Award nominated documentary, 'Five Broken Cameras,' on Sunday, in solidarity with the Palestinian liberation movement. The documentary chronicles the resistance by the villagers of Bil'in—a small Palestinian farming town, against the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. It highlights the brutality meted out by the Israeli defence forces while occupying the land on the residents of Bil'in and surrounding villages, where they have lived for centuries. After the screening, the attendees discussed the themes of freedom, oppression, occupation, and resistance. The discussion also touched on the history of occupation by Israel, India's historical stance of supporting the Palestinian resistance to occupation, and the current BJP-led government's change of stance. The organisers spoke about the necessity to support the Palestinian people's struggle for freedom. They urged the attendees to take part in the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement to bring pressure on the State of Israel and companies supporting Israel in helping it occupy Palestinian land.
