A brief look at The Hollywood Ten, a group of screenwriters and directors charged of contempt of court after challenging the House of Anti-American Activities and their controversial and self-incriminatory questions during the red scare. With that act of defiance, they were sentenced to one year in prison simply for speaking their minds and exercising their constitutional rights as concerned citizens. This is their story, their version of the facts and their opinions.Read More »

IMDb User Review:
This unassuming little sleeper may be the finest contribution the late Chris Warfield (a/k/a “Billy Thornberg”) made to the carnal canon. Like so many Golden Age filmmakers, he had his roots in ’60s sexploitation cinema, producing Corey Allen’s notorious EROTIC ADVENTURES OF PINOCCHIO. As a dirty movie director, he rarely showed much ambition beyond stringing together loops he had shot for the 8mm market – ah, those were the days ! – into makeshift “features” like FULFILMENT, BEYOND FULFILMENT (clever, huh ?) and SHEER PANTIES. With every rule, there are some exceptions though. The glossy, big budget rom com CHAMPAGNE FOR BREAKFAST with Lesllie Bovee and John Leslie was the one he clearly considered his Magnum Opus, signing with his real name in an industry known for (frequently stupid) pseudonyms.Read More »

At the beginning of a nightly Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, Jim seems particularly troubled. His sponsor encourages him to talk that night, the first time in seven months, so he does – and leaves the meeting right after. As Jim wanders the night, searching for some solace in his old stomping grounds, bars and parks where he bought drugs, the meeting goes on, and we hear the stories of survivors and addicts – some, like Louis, who claim to have wandered in looking for choir practice, who don’t call themselves alcoholic, and others, like Joseph, whose drinking almost caused the death of his child – as they talk about their lives at the meeting. Written by Gary DickersonRead More »

The Other Side was produced as an homage to the artist’s transgender friends whom she lived with and photographed from 1972 to 2010. The work celebrates the “gender euphoria” of her friends, in their possibilities for transcendence.
