Stalker Thriller Film 'An Intrusion' Trailer with Scout Taylor-Compton

"Leave me alone, and don't follow me!" Gravitas has debuted an official trailer for a horror thriller titled An Intrusion, the latest from Michigan-born filmmaker Nicholas Holland. This recently premiered at the 2021 Chelsea Film Festival, and it opens on VOD starting in November. But since it's Halloween - no better time to launch a new trailer! Sam and his family are terrorized by a malicious stalker… but as an investigation mounts, he fears the attacks may be related to secrets he has violently kept from his family and detectives. The film co-stars Dustin Prince alongside Scout Taylor-Compton, with Sam Logan Khaleghi, Keir Gilchrist, Erika Hoveland, Michael Emery, Jaime Zevallos, Angelina Danielle Cama, and Billy Boyd (Pippin from LOTR!). There's so much happening in the trailer, not really sure what to make of this. ›››

Watch: A Short Doc About America's First Drag Queen for President

"At some point I realized that I actually made a little dent in history." Now this is a story we haven't heard before! And I'm glad it's being told again, especially in this format. Meet "America's First Drag Queen for President"! And spread the word! The Beauty President is a captivating 10-minute short doc film made by filmmaker Whitney Skauge from Breakwater Studios. In 1992, at the height of the AIDS pandemic, drag queen Joan Jett Blakk made a historic bid for the White House as an openly queer write-in candidate. So badass! "Our thing was visibility… the more visible we made ourselves, the less [any bad stuff] happened." Today, Terence Alan Smith, the man behind the persona, reflects back on his place in gay rights history at the height of the AIDS crisis. I admire that he admits it was all about visibility, not really about winning. Even this act made a difference. And I hope this story inspires even more people to make themselves visible. ›››

"Don't flinch." 1091 Pictures has released a trailer for an indie crime thriller titled Blonde. Purple, from English filmmaker Marcus Flemmings. This film is launching on VOD at the end of November if anyone is interested in watching.

Olivia Colman & David Thewlis Become Killers in 'Landscapers' Teaser

"My husband and I got ourselves into a bit of a pickle." A big time pickle. HBO has debuted a teaser trailer for a new 4 episode mini-series titled Landscapers, directed by the British filmmaker Will Sharpe, who also made this year's fantastic The Electrical Life of Louis Wain (one of my faves). Supposedly based on a true story, which doesn't seem that surprising to learn, a devoted and mild-mannered couple decides to kill their spouse's parents. They only get in trouble when two bodies are found. Sharpe directs this "exploration of love and fantasy," which is created and written by screenwriter Ed Sinclair. Starring the talented Olivia Colman (who's also in this year's The Lost Daughter film) and Emmy nominee David Thewlis, along with Kate O'Flynn, Dipo Ola, Samuel Anderson, David Hayman, Felicity Montagu, and Daniel Rigby. This is just oozing with style and all kinds of funky shots galore, including a B&W segment when they're in court, along with wide angle shots inside a phone booth and so much more. I'm certainly curious about this. ›››

Trailer for 'Nightshooters' British Action Comedy About Filmmakers

"If they saw any of that, boss, we could be in the sh*t." Playing at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival this year is a British indie action comedy film titled Nightshooters, which originally premiered in 2018 at the Raindance Film Festival. It already opened in the UK years ago, but still has never been released anywhere else yet. The film is described as an "action thriller about a group of filmmakers who find themselves on the run from a violent horde of criminals after witnessing a brutal gangland execution." The hapless film crew must use their technical skill and cinematic knowledge to defend themselves. The stunt man is a martial arts master, the special effects guru sets lethal traps, and the sound department strategically lay radio mics to detect when the hoodlums are on their way. It's supposedly a mix of The Raid and Snatch, which sounds like a lot of fun to watch. Hopefully. The cast includes Adam McNab, Nicky Evans, Rosanna Hoult, Jean-Paul Ly, Richard Sandling, Kaitlyn Riordan, Mica Proctor, Nicholas Aaron, Ben Shafik, Doug Allen. From the same director of the Dune Drifter film. This does look dumb, but maybe still entertaining. ›››

Is the Moon Not the Moon? 'Moonfall' Conspiracy Viral Site Launches

Calling all megastructurists! Lionsgate has launched a brand new viral website for the upcoming epic sci-fi disaster movie Moonfall, about the Moon crashing right into Earth. Yes, of course it's directed by Roland Emmerich, and so far it looks awesome. The movie's viral website is a conspiracy theory blog run by the (fictional) Dr. K.C. Houseman, a character in the movie played by actor John Bradley. The site deals with the (very real) conspiracy theory question: is the Moon actually a "megastructure"? Is it hollow? Is it an alien spacecraft? Or is it something else? The original plot synopsis for Moonfall ends with a hint that "our Moon is not what we think it is." But what is it, then? The website is called MoonTruth.net and includes links and info, discussing various theories and scientific details about the Moon and what's really going on up there. Do you believe any of it? More viral websites for sci-fi movies, please! Let's bring them back again. ›››

"Gucci is… what I say it is!" MGM Studios has released a second trailer for House of Gucci, the other new Ridley Scott-direted movie arriving this year, following the release of The Last Duel a few weeks ago (which we highly recommend you see!).

"You still think I'm the greatest?" 1091 Pictures has debuted a trailer for an indie drama titled Curtis, set in Detroit, made by filmmaker Chris Bailey, who is originally from Detroit as well. This won the Best Narrative Feature award at last year's American Black Film Festival where it premiered. It also played at the Atlanta Film Festival last year. Dwight Henry stars as a former basketball star who battles with his mental illness while scouring the streets of Detroit with a young boy, in search of his lost high school championship ring. "Curtis is about regret, mental illness, and ultimately believing in yourself. My whole mantra for the film is: Everybody has a story. So I'm very grateful to the entire team at 1091 Pictures for seeing the importance of sharing a story like Curtis with the world," director Chris Bailey states. The cast includes Alex Henderson, Kalena Knox, and Thaddeus Street. This looks low key damn good, an indie discovery worth your time. ›››

Official US Trailer for Asghar Farhadi's Outstanding New Film 'A Hero'

"It's the talk of the neighborhood. People called to say you make them proud." Amazon has unveiled a new US trailer for the outstanding new film from Oscar-nominated Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi, best known for A Separation, The Past, The Salesman, and Everybody Knows. His latest is titled A Hero, and it first premiered at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, where it won the Grand Prix prize during the festival. Rahim is in prison because of a debt he was unable to repay. During a two-day leave, he tries to convince his creditor to withdraw his complaint against the payment of part of the sum. But things don't go as planned. When he returns a woman's purse full of coins, he is hailed as a hero, but the complexities of society and old grudges come back to ruin his newfound fame. Amir Jadidi stars as Rahim in one of my favorite performances of the entire year (seriously). I saw this film in Cannes and it was one of my favorite of the fest, I've been thinking about the story ever since. It's something that destroys so many good people. ›››

"This is my legacy." Saban Films has unveiled the official trailer for Deadlock, another "why did you make this film, Bruce!?" action thriller starring Bruce Willis.

Official Trailer for 'Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road' Documentary

"That must've been a really exciting time." "It was…" Screen Media Films has revealed an official trailer for a documentary titled Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road, from acclaimed doc filmmaker Brent Wilson (no relation to Brian). The doc film is the definitive look at the career of The Beach Boys musician Brian Wilson. He doesn't like to do interviews, so they came up with a different idea. When Rolling Stone editor and longtime friend Jason Fine drops by the L.A. home of songwriter, producer and Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson, Fine suggests they cruise around the city he knows so well to visit old haunts and give Brian the opportunity to reflect on his life and music. This film is the result of that experience. "This entertaining, informative, at times heart-tugging road trip provides both a first-hand, intimate look into Wilson's storied life and further inspiration to anyone who has been touched by his music." Sounds good! Wilson has been a part of a few films recently - Love & Mercy + the docs Echo in the Canyon and Making Pet Sounds. Tune in. ›››

Kevin Hart & Wesley Snipes in Netflix's 'True Story' Mystery Series

"Everything I worked hard for is over…!" Netflix has unveiled a trailer for an intriguing "limited series" titled True Story, arriving streaming starting in November this fall. The tagline is "betrayal is relative" and the synopsis opens with the question "How far will you go to protect your own?" Kevin Hart stars in this as a famous comedian called The Kid, who ends up in over his head when his tour stops in his hometown of Philadelphia. This isn't Hart's first time mixing drama with his real-life role as a comedian, as he also made What Now? a few years ago. But this looks much more dark and twisty, with a few episodes directed by a director on "Watchmen" and "Westworld". Hart & Wesley Snipes star in True Story, "the gripping journey of two brothers entangled in a world of celebrity, crime, and lies." The cast includes Theo Rossi, William Catlett, Abbey Paige, Michael James Bell, Avery Kidd Waddell, & Emmanuel Kabongo. I'm glad they don't reveal much in this trailer, it's a good sell. I was not expecting to be hooked before watching this. ›››

Blasphemy! Full US Trailer for Paul Verhoeven's Epic 'Benedetta' Film

"You still don't believe in me? After all you've seen?" IFC Films has debuted the full official US trailer for Paul Verhoeven's Benedetta, already infamously known as the "lesbian nuns" film. This first premiered at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival in the summer, earning a mix of love and hate reviews (as expected with a Verhoeven film - don't let these opinions sway you). We also posted the full French trailer back then. A 15th-century nun at a remote convent in Tuscany, Italy suffers from disturbing religious and erotic visions. She is assisted by a young companion, and the relationship between the two women at the convent develops into a romantic love affair. Belgian actress Virginie Efira stars as Benedetta Carlini, also with Daphne Patakia as Bartolomea, Charlotte Rampling, Lambert Wilson, Olivier Rabourdin, Hervé Pierre, Clotilde Courau, and Guilaine Londez. This film rules! I love how epic and funny and thrilling it is, in addition to being a wild a story about a nun who discovers her holy powers when another new nun gets frisky with her. ›››

A ragtag crew of bounty hunters chases down the galaxy's most dangerous criminals. They'll save the world - for the right price.

Along with their trusty pal Ein, a genetically-engineered Pembroke Welsh Corgi with human-like intelligence. But they can only kick and quip their way out of so many scuffles before their pasts finally catch up with them. The series also stars Alex Hassell and Elena Satine, with appearances by Molly Moriarty, Blessing Mokgohloa, Lucy Currey, and Rachel House. This space western series will debut with 10 episodes in the first season. I'm actually impressed by how good this looks!

First Teaser Trailer for Pixar's 'Lightyear' Exploring the Origins of Buzz

Hello again, Rocketman! Pixar has unveiled the exciting first teaser trailer for Lightyear, one of two brand new Pixar Animation Studios movies arriving in 2022. This one is a sort of prequel to Toy Story, focusing entirely on Buzz Lightyear as a spin-off solo movie about the Space Ranger. Chris Evans will be voicing the real Buzz Lightyear, the astronaut within the Toy Story universe who inspired the action figure. The film will tell "the story of Buzz Lightyear and his adventures to infinity and beyond" - but no other details are known about it yet besides that. This is an impressive first teaser, packed with tons of stunning footage of this space adventure. There's so many details hidden in here already! The strange robo-cat hooked into the ship, the introduction of his classic spacesuit. And more characters we don't know anything about yet! But after this tease - I'm completely sold. Bring on the summer of Lightyear! It's opening in theaters next June. ›››

Scott Adkins & Dolph Lundgren in Action Thriller 'Castle Falls' Trailer

"Follow the guard, find the money." Shout Factory has released a trailer for Castle Falls, an action thriller directed by Swedish action star Dolph Lundgren. This is dropping on VOD in December just in time for the holidays! And remarkably it's not Lundgren's first film he has directed - he has a few others under his belt, including Dolph Lundgren Is the Killing Machine most recently in 2010. Castle Falls is about rival gangs trying to find millions of dollars hidden inside Castle Heights Hospital, which is filled with dynamite and scheduled to be demolished, but first they have to deal with the janitor who found the loot first. It just so happens that this guy is an ex-fighter. "The clock is ticking. Who will seize the cash… and will they get out alive?" Scott Adkins stars with Dolph Lundgren, plus Dave Halls, Kim DeLonghi, Kevin Wayne, Scott Hunter, Robert Berlin, and Bill Billions. Surprise, surprise - this film does not look good. At all. ›››

Is She Possessed By a Demon? Nun Horror Film 'Agnes' Official Trailer

"You don't have the luxury to be frightened!" Magnet Releasing has unveiled an official trailer for a nun horror film titled Agnes, from filmmaker Mickey Reece. This initially premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year, and also recently stopped by Fantastic Fest and the Sitges Film Festival this fall. Rumors of demonic possession at a religious convent prompts a church investigation into the strange goings-on among its nuns. A disaffected priest and his neophyte are confronted with temptation, bloodshed and a crisis of faith. That description sounds a lot like Paul Verhoeven's Benedetta (which I also highly recommend) - but this is something else entirely! Agnes stars Hayley McFarland as the titular nun "Agnes", with Molly C. Quinn, Sean Gunn, Chris Sullivan, Rachel True, Chris Browning, and Jake Horowitz. This looks rather cliche and obvious, especially following the exquisite Saint Maud. But it still might be worth a watch. ›››

Official Trailer for 'A Man Named Scott' Doc About Musician Kid Cudi

"Everything I make has to help people in some way." Amazon Prime Video has unveiled an official trailer for a documentary film titled A Man Named Scott, a reference to the actual name of renowned musician "Kid Cudi". His real name is Scott Mescudi, and after launching his first mixtape in 2008, he has become known as a renowned artist, musician and creator. In early 2011, Cudi announced he was making a mixtape titled "A Man Named Scott", but it was never finished or released. Now we have this documentary! The film follows the music career of Kid Cudi from the release of "Day 'N Night" in 2008 through present day music. Friends and producers illustrate his story in conjunction with concert footage and never before seen behind-the-scenes. This looks like a endearing look at his life and what makes him so unique, with some creative flourishes as well. I'm also curious to hear his thoughts on the pressures of fame, always interesting to hear. ›››

Hannah John-Kamen in Creature Feature Horror 'Unwelcome' Trailer

"They'll need feeding… They'll be hungry." Well Go USA has revealed an official trailer for creature feature horror film Unwelcome, the latest from Irish filmmaker Jon Wright (of Grabbers and Robot Overlords previously previously). The film spins a tale of what happens to people who come in contact with the violent, bloodthirsty goblins known originally in Irish folklore as the fear dearg or "far darrig," now often referred to worldwide as the "Redcaps." Londoners Maya and Jamie escape their urban nightmare to the tranquility of rural Ireland only to discover malevolent, murderous goblins lurking in the gnarled, ancient wood at the foot of their new garden. Those nasty lil creatures. Unwelcome stars Hannah John-Kamen and Douglas Booth, with Niamh Cusack, Colm Meaney, Kristian Nairn, and Jamie-Lee O'Donnell. This look frighteningly good! Not only a bunch of scary little creatures, but the look and feel of it is top notch as well. ›››

Official Trailer for 'Procession' Doc on Catholic Priests & Sexual Abuse

"I need to conquer these fears." Netflix has released an official trailer for the acclaimed documentary film titled Procession, the latest from filmmaker Robert Greene (Actress, Kate Plays Christine, Bisbee '17). This originally premiered at the 2021 Telluride Film Festival, and has played at a number of other festivals this fall before debuting on Netflix this November. A group of survivors of sexual abuse by Catholic priests battles for justice and collaborates to create fictional scenes depicting rituals of power in the church as part of a "drama therapy-inspired experiment designed to collectively work through their trauma." As one of the men says, "Spotlight was about trying to get in from the outside. In our film, we're trying to get out." Made in consultation with Joe Eldred, Mike Foreman, Ed Gavagan, Dan Laurine, Michael Sandridge, and Tom Viviano. This looks like an extraordinarily moving doc with the goal of teaching about the process of healing. ›››

Dartmouth Films has unveiled an official trailer for the documentary film Dear Future Children, which premiered at the CPH:DOX and Hot Docs Film Festivals earlier this year. It's opening in the UK this fall, but still doesn't have any US release set yet. Strangely, because this film looks great! Made by a young German filmmaker, Dear Future Children follows three young female activists in Hong Kong, Chile, Uganda as they cope with the immense personal impacts of their activism. Rayan protests for social justice in Chile, Pepper fights for democracy in Hong Kong and Hilda battles the devastating consequences of climate change in Uganda. The film asks them "why they keep fighting" but the answer is obvious; "Fear of failure and not achieving change drives them, more than their fear of violence or death. By facing fear, they transform it into something else entirely." Hell yes! Now this is inspiring, telling stories about fighting for real change no matter what will happen because it's so necessary. ›››

Official US Trailer for 'France' Starring Léa Seydoux as a TV Journalist

"Why do you need to be in the spotlight?" Kino Lorber has unveiled an official US trailer for French dark comedy France, which first premiered at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. It also went on to play at the Toronto and New York Film Festivals, and is opening in theaters in the US starting in December. Léa Seydoux brilliantly holds the center of Bruno Dumont's unexpected, unsettling new film, which starts out as a satire of contemporary news media before steadily spiraling out into something richer and darker. A celebrity journalist, juggling her busy career & personal life, has her life over-turned by a freak car accident. The film is described as a "tragicomedy" with plenty of drama, following Seydoux as TV journalist "France de Meurs" who deals with a series of self-reckonings, as well as a strange romance that messes her up. The cast includes Blanche Gardin, Benjamin Biolay, Emanuele Arioli, Juliane Köhler, Gaëtan Amiel, and Jawad Zemmar. This film didn't get the best reviews out of Cannes, but still looks rather intriguing. ›››

Sandra Bullock is Out of Prison in Netflix's 'The Unforgivable' Trailer

"You're life starts here, now. Not twenty years ago." Netflix has unveiled a powerful official trailer for The Unforgivable, a new drama based on the TV mini-series "Unforgiven" from the UK. A woman is released from prison after serving a sentence for a violent crime and re-enters a society that refuses to forgive her past. Facing severe judgment from the place she once called home, her only hope for redemption is finding the estranged younger sister she was forced to leave behind. The film stars Sandra Bullock in the lead role as Ruth Slater, with a full cast including Vincent D'Onofrio, Jon Bernthal, Richard Thomas, Linda Emond, Aisling Franciosi, Rob Morgan, and Viola Davis. It's directed by German filmmaker Nora Fingscheidt, following up her hit film System Crasher from a few years ago. This kind of film can only work with someone extremely talented in the lead role, there's so many emotions and feelings hidden deep within her. This looks remarkably good so far, and the trailer ramps up as it goes on until the emotions burst out. ›››

Watch: Compelling Norwegian Short Film 'Exposed' Discusses Nudity

"It is just a body. By being ashamed of your own body you're letting society win." It's vitally important to listen to the experiences of others and open your mind to perspectives that aren't your own. Exposed is a Norwegian short film from filmmaker Anna Fredrikke Bjerke that intelligently and passionately delves into an important conversation. Three weeks into the rehearsal process of her graduation play, Ingrid, a determined, young drama student finds herself in the middle of an increasingly uncomfortable situation: her ensemble and the play's director discuss whether she should be performing a full-frontal nude scene. Magnus, a once promising theatre director now trying to get his career back on track, awkwardly navigates the discussion in the wake of MeToo. The short stars Vilde Moberg as Ingrid. I'm always happy to feature thought-provoking work like this, to stir up discussion and encourage more critical thinking. Watch below. ›››

Bruce Campbell & Devon Sawa in Horror Comedy 'Black Friday' Trailer

"There is something wrong with the shoppers!" Screen Media Films has released the official trailer for a horror comedy titled Black Friday, set at a big toy store on Thanksgiving night just before the opening of Black Friday at midnight. And guess who's back at S-Mart! I mean, at "We Love Toys" - Bruce Campbell! Sporting a mighty fine gray mustache in this film (which makes him look like John Cleese in a few of the shots). Story manager Jonathan and his longtime employee Ken soon find them themselves battling against hordes of holiday shoppers that have been turned into monstrous creatures taken over by a parasite hellbent on a murderous rampage. The comedy stars Devon Sawa, Ivana Baquero, Ryan Lee, Stephen Peck, Michael Jai White, plus the one-and-only Bruce Campbell. This isn't the most original concept, but it does look quite fun anyway. The zombie people look mean, the kills look ridiculous and amusing. Shop safe. ›››

Malcolm Ingram's New Kevin Smith Documentary 'Clerk' Official Trailer

"When I saw Clerks, it felt like, 'I belong to this.'" 1091 Pictures has unveiled a trailer for the documentary Clerk, a biopic doc about the life and career of filmmaker Kevin Smith. This originally premiered at the 2021 SXSW Film Festival earlier this year, where they also describe it as a look at the life of "filmmaker and raconteur Kevin Smith." The doc is directed by filmmaker Malcom Ingram (of numerous docs including the Phantom of the Paradise doc Phantom of Winnipeg recently). Clerk spends time with Kevin Smith and looks back at his entire life, his intro into filmmaking, his big break with Clerks (1994), and everything else that has happened since, including the creation of SModcast and his life changing with the arrival of his daughter Harley. This documentary turned out even better than I was expecting (here's my full review) and even if you don't like him, it's hard to watch this and not admire everything he has achieved over the years. ›››

Oliver Stone's 'JFK Revisited: Through The Looking Glass' Doc Trailer

"The Warren Commission successfully deceived the public." Altitude Films in the UK has unveiled the first official trailer for JFK Revisited: Through The Looking Glass, a new documentary from filmmaker Oliver Stone. This initially premiered at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, and still doesn't have a release date set but we're keeping an eye on it anyway. The doc film is a follow-up to Oliver Stone's 1991 feature JFK, which won two Oscars and was nominated for six others. Even though the government is delaying the release of the JFK files right on the verge of their reveal, Oliver Stone isn't waiting anymore. The film examines more declassified files related to President Kennedy's assassination in a larger context, aiming to shine more light on what really happened in 1963. And it makes the case that compelling evidence proves that the Kennedy case 'conspiracy theory' is now 'conspiracy fact'. Which has been pretty obvious for years already, but he's trying to make us all even more aware with this film. Take a look at the trailer below. ›››

"I knew she would never accept me the way I was." Blue Fox Ent. has released an official trailer for a film called Butter, formerly known as Butter's Final Meal, from English filmmaker Paul A. Kaufman. Not to be confused with that strange butter carving comedy also titled Butter from a few years ago. This premiered at the Cinequest Film Festival last year and is opening in early 2022. "Butter" is a smart, funny high school junior who happens to be obese. He secretly befriends the prettiest girl from his school via social media by pretending to be a jock from another school.

As the day arrives can he really do it? Alex Kersting stars as "Butter"; he's joined by Mira Sorvino, Mykelti Willliamson, Brian Van Holt, Ravi Patel, Annabeth Gish, McKayley Miller, and Jack Griffo.

"What's important in life is that we believe in ourselves." Peccadillo Pictures has revealed the official UK trailer for an indie drama from Belgium titled Lola and the Sea, aka Lola vers la Mer in French. This first premiered at a few film festivals back in 2019, and is finally getting a UK release this year.

Introducing Magritte Awards (Belgium's Oscars) Most Promising Actress winner Mya Bollaers in her debut. Also with Benoît Magimel. A "tender exploration of family relationships and identity," with music from Culture Club and Four Non Blondes." This looks quite good! I'm very curious about watching it. ›››

Jason Momoa's Videos About Making 'Dune' in Jordan are Must See

"We went and found all these nooks & crannies… Really just got the feeling of being alone, and being out there…" Now playing in theaters worldwide is the epic, incredible Dune, directed by Denis Villeneuve. Actor Jason Momoa stars in the movie as Duncan Idaho, one of the most loyal members of House Atreides and a serious fighter. Much of the film was shot on location, or with practical sets, and most of the desert scenes were filmed in a location called Wadi Rum in the country of Jordan (which he says is "one of the most amazing places"). Momoa has been releasing Dune behind-the-scenes video blogs on his YouTube, and his latest one is called "Inside Dune: Wandering the Desert with My Friends." It is a must see because it's so simple and beautiful, shot on Red and Leica cameras, and takes us further out to this beautiful world we all share on this planet. These videos remind me of the way Jeff Bridges would take photos on set (and sometimes releases a book) and I love that we get to see into this side of filmmaking through Momoa's eyes. ›››

Watch: 'A Puff Before Dying' - Marionette Don't Smoke & Drive PSA

"I've seen what drugged up driving can do… You know what drug I hate the most?" So they finally made a sequel to Team America: World Police! Well, not really. But this is about as close as anyone can get! A Puff Before Dying is an incredible 10-minute marionette short film, made by filmmakers Michael Reich and Mike Pinkney. Apparently this is a real PSA, but I can't find any info on for who - clearly one of the states where marijuana is legal now. (The "Federal Road Safety Foundation" is made up.) A wild night of pot and "drugged-up driving" ends in tragedy for three teenagers that happen to be marionettes. Please don't smoke and drive! Or else this! The voice cast: Annie Mebane, James Kirkland, Lola Blanc, Tashi Condelee, Michael Reich. Wherever this came from, it's amazing, I can't believe it's real. Take a hit and, uh, be safe. ›››

"What do you think will happen when one of us is suddenly gone?" Netflix has debuted an official US trailer for the acclaimed Mexican drama titled Prayers for the Stolen in English, originally known as Noche de Fuego (which translates directly to Night of Fire) in Spanish. This first premiered at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, and recently played at both the New York & London Film Festivals. Prayers for the Stolen is about life in a solitary town nestled in the mountains that is at war, seen through the eyes of three girls on their path to adolescence.

But one day, one of the girls doesn't make it to their hideout in time." Starring Mayra Batalla, Ana Cristina Ordóñez González, Marya Membreño, Norma Pablo, Eileen Yáñez, and Memo Villegas.

Official Trailer for Exceptional Animated 'The Summit of the Gods' Film

"For some, the mountain isn't a goal, but a path." Netflix has revealed the official trailer for the animated film The Summit of the Gods, a French production based on a Japanese manga that's about two Japanese mountain climbers. The film premiered at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival this year, after showing as a "work in progress" at the Annecy Film Festival last year. It's one of my favorite films of the year - I love it so much and it has everything I adore: photography, mountains, Japan, Nepal. Photographer Fukamachi finds a camera that supposedly belongs to George Mallory, a mountaineer who went missing on Mt Everest, and goes on a mountain-climbing adventure with his friend Habu Joji, who also disappeared into the mountains a few years before. The voice cast includes Lazare Herson-Macarel, Eric Herson-Macarel, Damien Boisseau, Elisabeth Ventura, Kylian Rehlinger, François Dunoyer, Philippe Vincent, and Luc Bernard. With an original score by Amine Bouhafa. I'm happy that FirstShowing is quoted in this trailer! It's outstanding and I wrote a glowing review from Cannes about how it's perfect. A must watch film. ›››

Female Sexual Desire Explored in 'The Dilemma of Desire' Doc Trailer

"It's about keeping us in our place." Utopia has unveiled an official trailer for The Dilemma of Desire, a documentary about female sexuality from award-winning doc filmmaker Maria Finitzo. This first premiered at festivals last year and is arriving on VOD starting this month. The film explores the work of four women who are shattering myths and lies that women are being told about their sexual desire and their bodies - including artist Sophia Wallace, who challenges long-held ideas of women with her "cliteracy" project, putting front and center the clitoris as fundamental to orgasm. "Dilemma of Desire is a powerful reminder that true equality will come only when we all arrive at a place of understanding and acknowledgement that women are sexual beings, entitled to live their lives fully within the expression of their desire." Yes! More films that explore this topic sensitively and honestly, please. It really does make a difference. Check this out. ›››

"I can't give you what I haven't got." Saban Films has released an official trailer for Boiling Point, hot on the heels of its debut at the 2021 London Film Festival earlier this month.

The excellent Stephen Graham stars as Chef Andy Jones, along with Vinette Robinson, Jason Flemyng, Alice Feetham, Malachi Kirby, Izuka Hoyle, and Alice Feetham. I'm excited that this is shot in one take! Intense. It had some strong reviews at the festivals, too. ›››
