They say “You’ll find love when you stop looking for it.” Well, I can tell you from experience that I stopped a long time ago and either I’m not looking very well or it’s complete bullshit.    On the other hand you could be Agnes in Alice Lowe’s new film, Timestalker, and be doomed for eternity to repeat the same mistake, looking for and falling in love with the same, wrong man over and over again, from age to age, and die in some of the most comedic ways possible.    In the time-traveling rom-com Agnes (played by Lowe) makes bad choices every time. It ends terribly and terribly funny, propelling Agnes into the next century to meet her ‘true love’ by chance (or intention…

ScreenAnarchy has the first word about two acquisitions from our friends at Dark Star Pictures. The outlet has once again picked up two films from Australian trans director Alice Maio Mackay.   Today they’re announcing the acquisition of Satranic Panic and Carnage For Christmas, and are planning theatrical, digital and hard copy releases as early as this month and in October. They have the distribution rights for North America and the UK. Previously they distributed two of Alice’s earlier films, Bad Girls Boogey and T-Blockers.   The prolific teenage filmmaker – no longer a teenager this Sunday when they turn just twenty years old – has been raising a proper ruckus for the trans community with other films like the aformentioned Bad Girls Boogey, T Blockers and So Vam. Our own…

The closing awards ceremony of the fifth edition of the Amman International Film Festival – Awal Film were held on the 11th of juli at the Royal Film Commission – Jordan, one of the most scenic movie theatres in the world. Next to the screen you have a view over the city and its lights, scattered densely over the steeps hills on which the city is built. However competing the scenery is,  the movies in competition and their makers are the real winners of a truly interesting, intimate and welcoming Film Festival. In the Arab Feature-Length Narrative Competition the Black Iris Award went to the exiting and beautifully casted Hounds (Les Meutes) by Kamal Lazraq (Morocco) about a crime going horribly wrong; the Jury Award…

Raphael (Luke Wilcox) is a a typical 2007 teenage dirtbag who gets wrangles into working as an informant for a local lunatic cop in directors Carl Fry and Maxwell Nalevansky’s uproariously funny cringe comedy, Rats! When Rafi is picked up for tagging a beloved payphone in his native Pfresno, Texas, he finds himself firmly in the sights of the town’s worst law enforcement agent, Officer Williams (Danielle Evon Ploeger). Convinced that Rafi’s small time dope dealer cousin, Mateo (Darius Autry) is using his hustle as a cover for supplying international terrorists with nukes, Williams and Rafi’s mom force him to move in with Mateo and report back on his activity. From there, Rafi’s life spins increasingly out of control in the most hilarious ways possible. The…

The Adams Family filmmaking team moves away from their usual introspective slow burns in their latest film, the Serbia-set creature feature, Hell Hole. Even though this film seems mile away from their usual projects, the Adams/Poser family can’t help injecting a bit of clever cultural satire into their movie about a Lovecraftian parasitic ass octopus, and we’re here for it. Set in the remote forests of eastern Europe, Hell Hole follows the crew at an oil fracking site as they attempt to get their job underway, only to find that there’s something in the ground that really wants to get out. Part of the delay comes from an environmental study seeking out endangered species led by a pair of scientists, leader Nikola (Aleksandr Trmčić) and…
