Directors to Know for Black History Month – IndieWire

While innovations in technology have made it easier than ever to make a movie, it has become harder than ever to receive significant financial backing. Doubly hard when one is a director of an underrepresented background.

Black Americans have been a part of the film industry since the beginning, over a century ago, but one could argue that there were not any Black film directors given enough of a platform to become a household name until the 1990s. Though a diverse set of directors were able to breakthrough from that time through the aughts, the shift

Slashing prices: The 25 greatest indie horror movies

Horror has always been the most disrespected of movie genres. On one hand, it has the most potential to explore disturbing notions about human nature; on the other, it’s a great big sandbox in which envelope-shredding exploitation filmmakers get to make a hideous mess. This means talented and/or shameless directors are often forced to cobble together financing to put their blood-curdling nightmares before cameras. With that in mind, here are the twenty-five scrappiest/nastiest/scariest indie horror films ever made.

Film On The Town: MADE IN MASSACHUSETTS: 100 YEARS OF FILMMAKING IN THE BAY STATE (by Miller)

Film On The Town: MADE IN MASSACHUSETTS: 100 YEARS OF FILMMAKING IN THE BAY STATE (by Miller)

Every movie is a documentary of its making. Or a documentary of what the makers want you to believe about that making, about where it was made. Make enough movies in the same place over time and you get a history, a collection of narratives linked by location. What does that history say about that place? These are lofty thoughts, perhaps they should be brought to earth. Why is Burt Reynolds, with trademark mustache, dressed as a nun and chasing a dude through one of Boston’s oldest public parks?

Reynolds is doing this in the 1972 film Fuzz, one of more

Its new ‘Spotlight Artist’ program is a global affair, cherry-picking promising artists from North and South America and Europe initially, with plans to expand to China and Japan soon.

Gibson isn’t the only company in its field looking to spotlight emerging artists, mind.

Restored Indie Gem From 1971 – The Hollywood Reporter

About an hour into the brief and dazzling Bushman, the central character announces, “I need a hamburger,” and then the screen goes black for a few seconds. When the movie resumes, it’s no longer a drama enlivened by a streetwise documentary sensibility, but a work of straight-up nonfiction. Relying on stills in this last stretch but maintaining the visual fluency of the preceding story, the final 10 minutes recount why director David Schickele stopped filming for a year: He was working instead on securing a
