Basic Bitch - The Lupus Walk, A Third Encounter with Too $hort, and our 13th Anniversary Party!

Send us Fan MailWe're bringing back two films that left a lasting impact, and will (finally!) be coming to a screen near you!Black Zombie unearths the buried origins of the zombie, from Hollywood horror to the haunted cane fields of colonized Haiti. Director Maya Annik Bedward joined us at this years SXSW to share why this cultural reckoning is so important for Haiti, her difficulties in figuring out what to include in the film, and how a special scene with Erol Josué, General Director of Haiti's National Bureau of Ethnology and Vodou Priest, was one of the most beautiful things she's ever filmed.Ghost in the Machine is a documentary that we saw at this year's Sundance Film Festival which reveals the dark untold origins of Artificial Intelligence, and where we go from here. Director Valerie Veatch sits down with us to discuss her years long work examining the intersection of technology and society, why we should all be friction maxing everyday (and what the hell that actually means),  and how being a parent informs her work (and vice versa).JOIN US AT OUR 13th ANNIVERSARY PARTY!

Send us Fan MailThis interview was recorded this past spring during SFFilm Festival, and covers one of the most powerful documentaries we've seen this year year  — American Doctor . The film follows three American doctors  — Palestinian, Jewish, and Zoroastrian– as they enter Gaza to save lives, and ultimately risk everything to expose the truth. We sit down with director Poh Si Teng to discuss the urgency of this film, the importance of allyship, and why a film festival in Minnesota was her most powerful screening yet. To cap it all off, Poe drops the realest "This Bitch" ever.American Doctor is in theaters now!
