KRISTEN STEWART, JULIETTE BINOCHE ATTEND NYFF PREMIERE OF 'CLOUDS OF SILS MARIA'

Kristen Stewart sparkled on the red carpet Wednesday (8 OCTOBER) for the New York Film Festival premiere of 'Clouds of Sils Maria.'

She stars alongside Juliette Binoche.

Directed by French director Olivier Assayas, the film tells of an aging actress played by Binoche asked to star in a revival of a play she did earlier in her career. But now she plays an older character in the story, while a younger actress plays her original role.

Stewart, known for starring as Bella in the "Twilight" film series stars as the younger actress in the film.

The idea of shooting a film outside of the country with a French director and actor was certainly out of Stewart's comfort zone, but she loved the experience.

"Yeah, I like flying by the seat of my pants rather than packaging and delivering story to sell to people," Stewart said.

The 24-year old actress says she trusted director Olivier Assayas.

"I've always really gravitated toward filmmakers that somewhat, even if they're not European, kind of represent something that's a little bit more common when you go over there to make a movie. There is something languid and fluid and natural and brave about it without nailing down exactly what you're gonna do you jump in and know that the experience is what you want and the result is gonna be whatever it's gonna be. So it's a huge risk to take," Stewart said.

Critics have heralded Stewart's performance in the film.

When asked how it felt to have some positive acclaim again, the actress simply responded: "Of course, yeah."

Assayas wasn't sure how Stewart was going to work out, but once they started shooting, he was sure he made the right choice.

"It's so incredibly courageous of her. She's the one who's making the big step. I write the spot, which is really tailored for her in many ways, so I ask her to be part of my film," Assayas said.

The film is currently on the festival circuit and will be released in the United States sometime in 2015.

KRISTEN STEWART HAS THREE FILMS AT NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL; ADMITS SHE'S A WORKAHOLIC

Kristen Stewart admits she's a workaholic after bringing three films to the New York Film Festival.

"Oh yeah, I'm totally addicted man," said the actress from the red carpet Wednesday (5 OCT. 2016).

"Like I'm a crazy, compulsive, like I get super obsessed with stuff, you know, which is to a fault but it's served me well."

Stewart was the guest of honor at a dinner thrown by the Lincoln Center Film Society.

Before going inside, she also commented on her intensity, the type of director she hopes to become and reinventing herself after "Twilight."

For the latter, she claims it wasn't intentional.

"Oh, honestly, it was not like a tactical approach," said Stewart.

"I've really always known that if I have a certain dynamic with someone or a conversation, it's either leading to productivity or not. I definitely thank you for that question because it implies that I've like by chance seemingly designed a career I totally got lucky to have."

Since the "Twilight" franchise, the actress has quietly amassed an impressive body of work, including a trio of very different films at this year's festival.

She already premiered "Certain Women," directed by Kelly Reichardt, earlier this week. The festival will screen the upcoming "Personal Shopper." And Stewart will walk the red carpet again for Ang Lee's "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" next week.

Besides acting, Stewart aspires to become a director too.

Working with Lee and Reichardt gave her unique perspective, especially since the two take a completely different approach to directing a film.

"It's weird. I think I fall somewhere in between wanting to be really surgical and technical and in control of absolutely everything but at the same time I'm wanting to see something live and breathe and I think they both do that completely differently, but they both accomplish the same thing," Stewart said.

"I think they are both absolute geniuses when it comes to being composed and when it comes to being aware of something that we're not aware of. They see the invisible and they capture it and that's what I would like to do while making movies."

Reichardt shot "Certain Women" on 16mm film, working around the limitations of that to create a visually poetic story surrounding three women whose lives intersect in Montana.

Ang Lee worked the opposite end of the field, shooting war drama, "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk," using high-frame rate digital capture.

Stewart admits she leans toward Reichardt's style, suggesting it was motivational, making her want to start directing right away.

"Seeing Kelly steel train her way through a movie that seems so natural but is so deliberate, I love her. So yeah, it makes me want to work now, like start working," Stewart said.

"Certain Women" will be at select U.S. theaters from 14 October 2016, while "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" kicks off on November 11.

"Personal Shopper" isn't in theaters until next year.

So yeah, it makes me want to work now, like start working, yeah."

MICHELLE WILLIAMS, KRISTEN STEWART, LAURA DERN WALK NYFF RED CARPET FOR 'CERTAIN WOMEN'

It was a glamorous red carpet Monday (3 OCT. 2016), as Michelle Williams, Kristen Stewart and Laura Dern arrived for the New York Film Festival premiere of "Certain Women."

The film - from writer-director Kelly Reichardt - tells a trio of stories of intersecting lives in Montana.

It's based on short stories by Maile Meloy.

Stewart, who plays a high school teacher in the film, loves how the story depicts "the normal lives of women."

"It's not very typical for people to focus on the normal lives of women. It's always movies about exceptional, hero women that overcome great adversity to do a thing. And it's like, no, these are three women sort of doing very mundane but like really engaging, tiresome, really topical, current things. And that usually is not focused on," Stewart said.

"The only way that that can be focused on is if you make it interesting and Kelly's perspective makes it interesting. And you can look at any of her previous work, every woman that's been written into her movies are, you know - she doesn't do archetype movies. There are powerful woman stories now, but they're usually pretty standardized and she's sort of the opposite of that, so I'm so proud to be a part of it."

Reichardt went "old school" when it came to shooting the film, choosing to capture it on 16MM film stock. Stewart explained how that impacted her performance.

"The time constraints are kind of something. You can't just roll and find it," Stewart said.

"But that's like a pretty typically American indie-style thing and her vibe is different. She's very composed. She's not like, 'Oh, we'll just take it off sticks and throw it on his shoulder and we're going to dance around and you can say whatever you want.' She's like, 'No, no. You're going to say the lines and I'm going to compose my shot. We're going to shoot a scene.' Yeah, so I think that's pretty special."

Dern also embraced being captured on film again.

"It's amazing. I hope to, you know, be around film more and more. I love all of it in its own unique way, but I love film very much, so... We just need labs. We need labs and hopefully many more filmmakers will continue to explore with film," Dern said.

As for Williams, she's no stranger when it comes to working with Reichardt, having starred in her previous films, "Meeks Cutoff" and "Wendy and Lucy."

"Working with my old pal Kelly Reichardt, it's our third movie together, so whatever she asks, the answer is always yes," Williams said.

"And then when I was there, I discovered these great actors that I got to work with."

"Certain Women" opens in U.S. theaters on 14 October 2016.

KRISTEN STEWART, BLAKE LIVELY MARVEL AT PERIOD ERA 'CAFE SOCIETY'

Woody Allen continues to stay with his blistering pace of pushing out a movie a year. His latest entry, "Cafe Society" features Kristen Stewart and Blake Lively.

Set in the late 1930's, the film shifts from the Golden Age of Hollywood to New York's nightclub life. Stewart who plays the part-time love interest of Jesse Eisenberg's character was impressed on the perfection that went into the clothes and sets.

"It was fun on an aesthetic level because everyone who works on Woody's movies are incredibly detail-oriented; the costumes were perfect, you know, they were exquisitely built. On a surface level, it was shiny and fun. I think the time period serviced the story perfectly," Stewart said.

Stewart loves the modern spin on period life that her character Vonnie takes on.

"In the late 1930s it would not necessarily be OK for a young woman to not feel some shame or guilt surrounding somewhat unconventional relationships. If she can actually look back on her life and consider the hypotheticals and value them and not feel like she made mistakes. I thought that was super modern and something that inserted into the late 1930s was like, 'Whoa, she's interesting to me," Stewart said.

Lively also plays a character named Vonnie, though she's first introduced as Veronica.

"Doing a period film with Woody Allen and Vittorio and the way that they tell the story is so beautiful. But also, Woody, music is so intrinsic to he does, and 1930s music specifically. So to do a movie that takes place right in his wheelhouse of rhythm is actually really neat," Lively said.

She said part of the charm is how comfortable Allen made her feel.

"There is a level of confidence that comes too because he knows what he's doing, he has it down pat. He's not going to go through the motions with you, so you feel taken care of. You feel like you're going to be in a good movie," Lively said.

Then she added: "A Woody Allen movie is a Woody Allen movie, so stepping into that is a level of security."

"Cafe Society" opens in US theaters on Friday.

To step into that, and to step into that in filmmaking too women were so much more glamorous back then. You see a movie and a woman is in her dressing gown with feathers and jewels.

STARS CALL FOR EQUALITY AT ELLE'S WOMEN IN HOLLYWOOD

Amy Adams can't do it all and she's fine with that.

The 42-year-old Oscar nominee said the key to balancing a busy Hollywood career with raising a family is accepting the occasional fail.

"You've got to be OK to drop some balls. That's the thing about juggling, you can't keep all the balls in the air all the time. So I just try to be forgiving of myself and allow for some leeway for mistakes. And really communication for me is the key with my family, with my child, making sure everyone is OK and everyone feels heard and sort of paid attention to, including myself. So I communicate with myself and make sure I'm doing OK and you know try not to get too caught up in anything," said Adams.

Adams was honored Monday (24 Oct.) at the 23rd annual Elle Women in Hollywood Awards.

Fellow honorees Kathy Bates, Felicity Jones, Anna Kendrick, Aja Naomi King, Helen Mirren, Lupita Nyong'o and Kristen Stewart were also on hand for the celebration. Each are featured on their own individual cover of the magazine's November issue.

Academy Award winner Nyong'o acknowledged Hollywood's gender disparities and hoped the celebration would help unite women.

"I think there's still a lot of room for more women to be in all aspects of the entertainment industry. This is a night when we celebrate our achievements, but in that celebration we recognize there's still a long road to travel and it's about lifting each other up and coming together to ensure that more work can be done for women, by women and about women," Nyong'o said.

Stewart, who recently premiered "Certain Women" and has two upcoming films, noted that she's been extremely lucky with opportunities.

"It's difficult to speak to in not a sort of like abstract way, which is kind of maybe why it's been somewhat difficult to change because for me, I've been so lucky. I've had a million opportunities and I'm like overtly stimulated and sort of driven right now. But at the same time, I guess you know, how do you change something that's hard to speak to? Like dynamic and how people perceive you and the way that you need to present yourself versus like put upon conventions and things that you actually feel. And I think that's something that women struggle with constantly. It's getting easier though. Like nights like this are really important for that," she said.

Adams preferred to focus on the positive.

"I mean of course there is still work to be done. But as I said before, I tend to focus on the positive and there's so many women that have such a strong and unique voice and I just really hope we can continue to not focus on the problems, but focus on the solutions and have these women speak up and let's start working to change," said Adams.

Mirren discussed the importance of the annual event, which recognizes women for their accomplishments in the entertainment industry.

"You know for the longest time I didn't believe in corralling women off into their own little area, but I've really come to realize that that's not true," said Mirren. "Actually you do need to organize, you do you need to proselytize and you need to be political because without that really nothing happens. So I applaud this. I love it. I think it's very, very important, but I look forward to the time where it's no longer necessary."

Attendee and former "Vampire Diaries" star Nina Dobrev has faced discrimination in Hollywood and said it's crucial to speak up about it.

"There's a lot of work to be done, but I feel like we have come a long way. But yes, I've had some personal experiences that I'm not going to talk about right now. But most recently, I've had some experiences where women oftentimes are not seen or treated equally to their male counterparts and you have to put your feet down for what you believe and it will pay off," she said.

"The Birth of a Nation Star" Aja Naomi King was blown away by the caliber of her fellow honorees and said she hasn't paid attention to the disappointing box office numbers for Nate Parker's embattled slavery drama.

"I don't really pay attention that much to like numbers. I only know TV numbers. Like I understand ratings. But I'm feeling really great about the reception. The number of people that I've had these wonderful conversations with about how they've been impacted by it and just the conversations they've had because of the film. And that was the entire point, open up the dialogue to educate people and people of been so touched by the filmmaking. It's lovely to be acknowledged for the work that you've done and being able to be on the receiving end of that on social media or just like me bumping into people in person and them being like, 'oh my God, it's you!' You know it's like I'm really touched. Also for people to see that I can do other things than be Michaela Pratt on 'How to Get Away with Murder,'" she said.

Anthony Anderson hosted the awards.

Presenters included Jeremy Renner, Mira Nair and Ron Howard.

Quentin Tarantino and the stars of "Pulp Fiction" walked the red carpet in Cannes on Friday night (23 MAY 2014) for the premiere of "Clouds of Sils Maria."

The acclaimed American director is at the festival this year to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his cult classic, which won the festival's top prize in 1994.

They were joined at the event by French director Olivier Assayas and his "Sils Maria" cast, which includes Kristen Stewart, Juliette Binoche, and Chloe Grace Moretz.

Assayas' latest offering is showing in competition at this year's festival which draws to a close on Sunday.

Tarantino will also be helping to close the 67th edition of the festival with a tribute to Sergio Leone.

The filmmaker will present a restored version of Leone's "A Fistful of Dollars" (1964) at the May 24 closing ceremony.

Usually, the Palme d'Or winner is screened at the Cannes closing ceremony, but this year's schedule has been tweaked because of European elections.

The Palme d'Or winner will be shown Sunday (25 MAY 2014) instead.
