Dream Big, an Imax tribute to feats of engineering across the ages — ancient, contemporary, hypothetical — offers its fair share of visceral 3D thrills. There’s the rush of time-lapse swoops down paved thoroughfares, gasp-inducing glimpses of Earth from a space capsule, and aerial views of skylines and bridges. But the film begins on more modest turf, among kids at play — building, creating, pretending.
As with many other Imax features directed by Greg MacGillivray, but more explicitly so, kids are the primary audience for Dream Big. With its focus on problem-solving, teamwork and the power of the imagination, it’s certain...

Nice move, Bret Easton Ellis and Paul Schrader, you've definitely got people's attention now. "American Psycho" scribe Ellis has revealed on Twitter that their upcoming L.A. erotic thriller, "The Canyons," will now star Lindsay Lohan alongside porn star James Deen, who was an early pick by Ellis.
Having successfully completed their Kickstarter initiative, casting is well and truly underway with these two the first additions. Deen will play protagonist Christian, a "trust fund kid, power player and major manipulator, who is a film producer that enjoys filming his own three-way sex sessions," while Lohan will play his girlfriend/former model, Tara, who "has sold her pride for the material comforts Christian can provide."

Chicago – A second major Earth Day film has emerged from the weekend, along with Disney Studio’s “Chimpanzee.” The documentary “To the Arctic 3D,” narrated by Meryl Streep, is a cautionary and virtuous look at life on the ice caps at the top of the world. The IMAX film has a spectacular vision, showing a planet’s necessary ecosystem in a troubling meltdown state.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
The doc is paired with a soundtrack by Paul McCartney, and has such phantasmagoric imagery it’s possible the brain can slip into Yellow Submarine mode. The whole thing works because it is stark and bold in its assertion that greenhouse gasses are ruining a part of the world that keeps every other living thing on the rest of the planet in balance. With supporting roles by the lifeforms that inhabit this part of the world, it is undeniable proof that this situation will keep...

If you look at the past credits of nature film director Greg MacGillivray, you'll see oodles of super pretty documentaries, often with epic shots filmed from 'copters buzzing a particular landscape. Of late, he's crafted a number of those IMAX films that get shown to school kids at your local science center. One of the weird secrets of modern business of cinema is that these relatively short IMAX docs (an platter lasts about 45 minutes) make a relative fortune, playing many times a day to often full crowds of bussed-in viewers. In a time where people watch epic films on their phones and most theatres convert to digital projection, there's something downright comforting in having images from a giant spool of celuloid illuminated by a...

If you’ve ever seen any trailer for any nature documentary, then you already know what to expect from To the Arctic 3D‘s preview: swooping shots of landscapes, animals doing funny and cute things, a celebrity voiceover, and some incongruous song covering the whole thing with a certain everyday sheen.
This isn’t to say that those shots of nature aren’t stunning — I’m willing to bet even more so in well-converted IMAX 3D — or that Meryl Streep‘s soft voice doesn’t feel like a great choice for this kind of project; to be perfectly honest, I think I’d like to see this when it hits theaters, with the right format provided. It’s just a case of “been there, done that” when we get down to the marketing side of things.

Join us on a spectacular adventure! Warner Bros and IMAX have debuted the official trailer on Apple for the upcoming nature documentary To The Arctic 3D, directed by Greg MacGillivray, of Everest and many other nature IMAX movies previously. This charming, chilly doc focuses on a mother polar bear and her two seven-month-old cubs as they navigate the changing Arctic wilderness they call home. While this does look wonderfully charming, it's elevated by the use of some Sigur Ros and Oscar winner Meryl Streep on the narration. Put those two together with a slice of beautiful imagery, and I'm in, this is mesmerizing. Enjoy! Watch the official trailer for Greg MacGillivray's To The Arctic 3D, in high def from Apple: You can also download the official To The Arctic 3D trailer in High Definition over on Apple An extraordinary journey to the top of the world, Greg MacGillivray's...

If the trailer for To The Arctic 3D is any indication, this documentary is going to be a truly stunning 3D and IMAX experience. Directed by Greg MacGillivray and narrated by Meryl Streep, To The Arctic follows a mother polar bear as she cares for her twin seven-month-old cubs. The trailer below, which you can view in HD at iTunes gives us a sample of the amazing footage captured for the documentary, including numerous under-water shots of the bears and other wildlife. It seems likely that animal and nature enthusiasts - especially those who loved the 2005 documentary March of the Penguins - will want to try to catch To The Arctic. And from what we see in the trailer, the film is likely to look exquisite on an IMAX screen and in 3D. There really isn.t a single frame in the video above that doesn.t give us something...

"Take a close look at the lineup the Telluride Film Festival," advises Eugene Hernandez at indieWIRE. "These are films you’ll be hearing a lot about over the next few weeks during a fall festival swing that begins in Venice, travels to Telluride and continues through to big-city fests in Toronto and then New York. For many movies on the roster, the journey even dates back to Cannes in May."
The festival opens tomorrow and runs through Labor Day; meantime, here's the Show:
Viviana García Besné's Perdida, a look at the Calderon family, a cinema dynasty in Mexico.
Dr. Biju's The Way Home. See the description from the London Indian Film Festival.
Joseph Cedar's Footnote. See the Cannes roundup.
Mark Cousins's The Story of Film: An Odyssey. Trailer (scroll down about halfway).
David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method. Premieres tomorrow (Friday) in Venice.

Telluride Festival Primary Lineup Announced: New Films From David Cronenberg, Werner Herzog and more
The Telluride Film Festival, a presentation of the National Film Preserve which takes place beginning tomorrow, Friday Sept 2 and runs through Monday Sept 5, has announced the first list of films set to screen during the five day run. One of the reasons that Telluride is so special is because the festival doesn’t announce the lineup until the day before the festival begins, so attendees have to commit to the fest without knowing what they will see. However the festival has a reputation for screening an incredible line up each and every single year, sometimes beating the Toronto International Film Festival to some of the big North American premieres. This year is no exception. The first list of films announced includes David Cronenberg‘s A Dangerous Method, The Turrin horse by Sos face Bela Tarr, The Artist, Into The Abyss, Steve McQueen ‘s Shame and the Dardenne Brothers‘ The Kid With a Bike.

The Telluride Film Festival [1], a presentation of the National Film Preserve which takes place beginning tomorrow, Friday Sept 2 and runs through Monday Sept 5, is an unusual beast as far as film festivals go. The core film lineup is not announced until the day before the festival begins, so attendees have to commit to the fest without knowing any of the movies that will definitely play. Now the first list of films is out, and it has some expected inclusions such as David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method (trailer [2]) and the Cannes fave The Artist (trailer [3]). In addition there are some good surprises, such as Steve McQueen and Michael Fassbender's reunion, Shame (pics [4]), and the Dardenne Brothers' The Kid With a Bike. More films will be announced at the last minute over the next couple days. One addition, for example, according to Kris Tapley, is Butter. Peter is arriving in...

If the list of awardees below is long, it’s because the Newport Beach Film Festival screens over 400 films from more than 45 countries. With 50,000 visitors to the festival each year, part of the success of the program is its ability to draw full houses of appreciative audiences.
Opening with Michael C. Hall, Lucy Liu and Peter Fonda in “East Fifth Bliss,” the festival closes with “A Beginner’s Guide to Endings.” “Beginner’s Guide” stars Harvey Keitel as a gambling man at the end of his tether, and his three sons (Scott Caan, Paulo Costanzo and Jason Jones) who soon learn that their father signed them up for unsafe drug tests when they were kids.

When freak waves recently soaked the beach at Cannes, nobody was as happy among the incoming festival crowd as Sam George, who with Greg MacGillivray directed the Hollywood Don't Surf documentary that premieres May 15 at the Palais. "I thought it was no coincidence that it happened on a Wednesday, as in Big Wednesday, and my only regret is that the waves came a week early. We could have surfed at the beach to promote the movie and that would have been a Cannes first," he said. The film repped by Icm covers Hollywood's long infatuation with surf culture, and it's [...]...

Since the announcement of this year’s selected films, the Cannes film festival machine has whirred on, with additions to that line-up and confirmation of some of the Out of Competition activities that attendees can look forward to.
One particular highlight is the Cannes Classics programme of films, a selection of restored films and rediscovered lost films, as part of the build up to their re-release in cinemas or on DVD. The programme traditionally includes some massively important films: the 2009 fest offered the mouth-watering triptych of Powell and Pressburger’s The Red Shoes (1948), Leone’s A Fistful of Dynamite (1971) and Francois Truffaut’s The 400 Blows (1959), and this year’s line-up is just as eye-catching.
