AGFA MYSTERY MIXTAPE #3: SEQUELITIS
Himself
Unleashed from the video vaults of the American Genre Film Archive (AGFA), AGFA MYSTERY MIXTAPE #3: SEQUELITIS is a brand new compilation of the most electrifying found footage mayhem that you’ll see this week. For our third tape, we’re diving into the most controversial, hotly debated topic of all time: HORROR SEQUELS! Thank you for your generous support during these difficult times. And remember: “This makes Guns N’ Roses look like THE BRADY BUNCH.”
Life Itself

La sorprendente y entretenida vida del célebre crítico de cine y comentarista social Roger Ebert (1942-2013): sus primeros días como un despreocupado soltero y ganador del Premio Pulitzer; su célebre y polémica asociación con Gene Siskel; su matrimonio, que cambió su vida; y su valiente y trascendental batalla contra el cáncer.

Throughout the ’80s John Hughes defined the teen movie genre and spoke not only to that generation’s teens, but every generation that has followed. Then in 1991 he hung up his director’s hat and disappeared into obscurity ala J.D Salinger. In 2008, a group of young Canadian filmmakers set out to complete a documentary about the man with what they hoped would culminate with an interview, which would be his first since 1999.

Ópera prima de Don Hahn, uno de los productores más importantes de Disney. Documental que analiza el periodo que va de 1984 a 1994, en el que se filmaron obras como “¿Quién engañó a Robert Rabbit“, “La Sirenita“, “Aladdín“, “Pesadilla antes de Navidad" o "El rey león". Cuenta con testimonios de grandes personalidades de los estudios Walt Disney como el director Tim Burton, el productor John Lasseter, el desaparecido Roy Edward Disney, que fue quien renovó la producción animada y lideró el imperio. Queda patente que la producción animada no es ajena a las luchas por el poder entre los productores ejecutivos. (FILMAFFINITY)
