The process of making a documentary is frequently personal and intimate. You discover a topic, you start interviewing the subjects, you edit the piece, you re-interview the subjects, you continue editing, and you get closer and closer to the piece of work. But, Stories We Tell. Such is the power of memory. Intelligently le...

http://theotherfilms.blogspot.com/2014/07/intramural-2014-yet-another-sports.html
Reviews for the films that lie on the outside edges of the mainstream. Tuesday, July 1, 2014. Intramural (2014): Yet Another Sports Parody Film. SIFF 2014 Film #26. One of the hardest things about reviewing small ambitionless movies is trying to decide how to say that these small, tiny, independent movies which have no hard feelings towards anybody are not very good. Or, worse, that they're merely OK, but that the movie itself is well worn subject matter that has been tackled time and again. Has some gem...

Reviews for the films that lie on the outside edges of the mainstream. Friday, January 31, 2014. Accion Mutante (1993): Freaks in a Freak Nation. Dir: Alex de la Iglesia. First films are works of a weird passion. Accion Mutante. Is no exception. Alex de la Iglesia is a Spanish filmmaker that never quite made the jump from Spain to America due to his weird and culty sensibilities. He made one film in America, Perdita Durango.
