Disney has announced that Born In China will open in U.S. theaters Earth Day 2017.
Directed by Chinese filmmaker Lu Chuan, Disneynature’s Born In China follows the stories of three animal families, transporting audiences to some of the most extreme environments on Earth to witness some of the most intimate moments ever captured in a nature film. A doting panda bear mother guides her growing baby as she begins to explore and seek independence. A two-year-old golden monkey who feels displaced by his new baby sister joins up with a group of free-spirited outcasts. And a mother snow leopard—an elusive animal rarely caught on camera—faces the very real drama of raising her two cubs in one of the harshest and most unforgiving environments on the planet. Featuring stunning, never-before-seen imagery captured in the remote wilds of China, the film is produced by Disney’s Roy Conli and...

One of the bigger documentary sub-genre booms in recent years has been in the area of food docs exploring and/or decrying what we eat, the way we eat and why we probably shouldn’t be eating it. Films like Food, Inc., Diet for a New America, Forks Over Knives, King Corn, and Super Size Me have all taken a stab at educating Americans on what we put in our mouths. More importantly, they’ve tried to educate us on what we’re putting in our children’s mouths. But if there’s been one constant through the years it’s this: America just doesn’t give a shit. The latest film hoping against hope to change the nation’s lethargic stupidity and penchant for slowburn child abuse is Fed Up from director Stephanie Soechtig and producer Katie Couric. The film addresses the already established problem — Americans are getting fatter and sicker — but instead of simply saying...

Welcome to Holiday Favorites, a series in which Slackerwood contributors and our friends talk about the movies we watch during the holiday season, holiday-related or otherwise.
Today's inspired choice comes from Austin Film Society Associate Artistic Director Holly Herrick. Her pick is a classic from 1962: Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color presents Hans Brinker or the Silver Skates: Part 1 and Part 2, directed by Norman Foster. "Aka, the only time I will ever prefer Disney to Sidney Lumet," Holly says. Here's why she loves this one so:
On Christmas Eve every year, after our traditional holiday dinner of hominy grits and homemade sausage served with King corn syrup, my brothers and sisters and I dig out an old re-recorded VHS tape from sometime in the early 80s of the 1962 Disney's Wonderful World of Color version of Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates.

Heather Graham on Zac Efron, 'The Hangover Part III,' 'Californication,' and Raunchy Female Comedies
Heather Graham's new movie, "At Any Price," couldn't be more different from the next movie she's appearing in, "The Hangover Part III," which opens at the end of May. In Ramin Bahrani's intimate drama, part of this year's Tribeca Film Festival, Graham plays a woman who inadvertently becomes the link between a Type-a father (Dennis Quaid) and his troubled son (Zac Efron). The corn-fed Whipple family is a far cry from the Wolfpack, and the stakes are much higher. Graham sat down to chat with Moviefone about "King Corn," having David Duchovny's baby on "Californication," and the script she wants to direct. Moviefone: Which aspect of the film attracted you most? Heather Graham: At first, it was Ramin Bahrani, because I really liked his other films, and to be honest, I really learned a lot more about farming from working on the film. Once I learned about it,...

Not long after I graduated from college, I co-created the 2007 documentary "King Corn," working with my cousin Aaron Woolf (director/producer) and my best friend Ian Cheney (co-producer) to tell the story of one tiny acre of grain and its fate in America’s big food system. It’s been four years since I’ve watched our film in full (though my parents tell me they still enjoy it). One image has stuck with me more than other during that time, the shot right before the closing credits: a high-angle wide captured by Aaron from atop a grain bin, of Ian and me standing on the edge of our empty field, surveying the square of black dirt that was left after we trucked our harvest to the elevator. We had spent our year, it turned out, growing 10,000 pounds of fast food. Enough feed for 4,000 corn-fed hamburgers; enough starch to make...

Monsanto, the agriculture biotech company maligned in such docs as Food, Inc. and King Corn, found renewed opposition this month with the launch of an online petition gone viral called “Tell Obama to Cease Fda Ties to Monsanto.” The petition protests the president’s 2009 appointment of the company’s former VP, Michael Taylor, to the position of senior advisor to the Fda. That this years-late call to action has inspired more than 380,000 signatures attests to the toxicity of this particular marriage between government and a multinational corporation.
If you’ll remember, Monsanto is the company that brought us Ddt and Agent Orange, both of which were banned at some point for their harmful effects on people and the environment. As the world’s largest producer of genetically modified (Gm) crops, the company has achieved its position through a means of strong-arm tactics, ambitious mergers, and, as the petition points out,...

The City Dark Illuminates, Could Shine Brighter.
Austin, TX – The City Dark, recently had its world premiere in the Documentary Feature competition at this year’s SXSW film festival.
The environmental film explores the issue of light pollution, and the disappearance of starlight in the urban sprawl of industrialized nations.
Directed and narrated by filmmaker Ian Cheney (King Corn), the film follows his personal quest to answer the question, “What do we lose, when we lose the night.” By interviewing various astronomers, biologists, historians, photographers, and even boy scouts, we learn that there is quite a lot at stake in the ‘open 24/7’ culture of the world, and what better starting point for Cheney’s journey than in the city that never sleeps.
Moving from the natural beauty of Maine, to the concrete jungle of New York City, he soon discovers that his childhood fascination with observing stars becomes difficult amid...

Arguably the invention with the most profound effect on civilization is the light bulb. But along with the advances in technology it heralded, is there a dark side to all the light we have in our lives today? Director Ian Cheney (King Corn) explores the scientific and philosophical side of lighting the night sky in The City Dark.
Cheney explores the history and impact of all the light at night in various chapters, from the history of lighting to light pollution to the impact on nature and humanity. He could easily make a movie on each chapter, but instead includes just enough to make a person consider how much artificial lighting they include in their lives.
The City Dark is not just a romanticized longing for the heavens above. Some of the facts Cheney presents may at first seem like they're not relevant to everyday people, such as light pollution...

I can't recall if I read Michael Pollan first or saw Aaron Woolf's 'King Corn' first. The two experiences occurred roughly the same time (in mid 2007). But either way I'm sure that I learned a lot about the food industry from the latter (which features Pollan as a talking head). And as an ignorant eater unaware that corn dominates our diet and may be ruining the American farm system through its industrialization, I appreciated the way its information was filtered through the investigatory curiosity of two college buddies, who learned right alongside the viewer.
Now one of those inquisitive guys, Ian Cheney, who is also credited as a writer and producer of 'King Corn,' has a new directorial effort (following his 2008 debut, 'The Greening of Southie'), which is a similar sort of personal journey that looks into another sort of taken-for-granted subject.

As Roland Emmerich foretold, on December 21, 2012, the Mayan calendar predicts the world will be destroyed by terrible special effects and offensively bad storylines. Only, this is not quite what they meant. The Mayans are predicting humanity will undergo a massive "change," whether that means psychologically, metaphysically, culturally, or yes, even that a giant CGI wave will swallow our souls. Daniel Pinchbeck has been discussing this since the late 90s, namely in his books 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl and Breaking Open The Head. He's been the foremost advocate of cultural awareness for shamanic practice and spiritual enlightenment. While many of his ideas are practical and intuitive, he just looks and sounds like a smug fucking douchebag. He's the liberal Ben Stein, with a jack-o-lantern grin and greasy hair, and every time he speaks you want to curbstomp him in a urinal. Since Joao Amorim's documentary 2012: A Time for...

Two topics, all-too-often inseparable — politics and horror — course through the veins of the new issue of Bright Lights Film Journal, featuring "a whopping 40 articles, profiles, and reviews," as editor Gary Morris notes in his lively-as-always overview. Gregory Stephen's piece on King Corn and Fast Food Nation is "a tour de force that riffs mightily on eco- and economic exploitation, racism, and a host of other timely themes.... Maximilian Werner manages an entirely new approach to films like The Ring, The Shining, The Exorcist et al. in his discussion of the evolutionary basis of fear. Mark Chapman disinters the postmodern vampire through a persuasive discussion of Claire Denis's Trouble Every Day. He also sketches that depressingly prescient Michael Powell classic Peeping Tom. Jon Lanthier clarifies much about Scorsese's overrated Shutter Island through an inspired conceit: phrenology."

ABC's "Lost," AMC's "Breaking Bad," Nickelodeon's "Avatar" and -- in a nod to the influence of the Web -- YouTube are among the winners of 2008 Peabody Awards unveiled Wednesday.
Others among the 36 television and radio programs or media institutions that garnered accolades for their excellence were NPR's radio reports from China on the earthquake in Chengdu, the Metropolitan Opera's performances in high-definition, CNN's presidential primary and debates coverage and "Saturday Night Live's" political satire.
For the first time, several Web-related entities received nods, including the New York Times' Web site and the Onion's news network as well as the recognition to YouTube for its impact on the media landscape. The latter was lauded for being "an ever-expanding archive-cum-bulletin board that both embodies and promotes democracy."

If there's one thing the documentary world could do without, it's another liberal urbanite throwing on flannels, adopting a folksy tone, and embarking on a gimmicky first-person stunt as a way to illuminate an important issue. King Corn offers two of them: Curt Ellis and Ian Cheney, Boston-based college buddies who return to their ancestral home of Greene, Iowa, and spend a year planting and harvesting an acre of corn. Their affable little project represents the spoonful of sugar that makes the corn-industry-factoid medicine go down, as Ellis and Cheney learn about subsidies and surpluses, and the insidious nutritional aspects of an industry that's growing in proportion to America's bellies. And yet King Corn, produced and directed by Aaron Woolf, isn't as officious as it sounds, because Ellis and Cheney are low-key tour guides with a minimum of snark, and the one-acre-farm gimmick doesn't carry too heavy a load. ...

NEW YORK -- You won't eat corn with the same light heart again after watching this documentary detailing how the vegetable has been co-opted by the food industry in such a way that it is gradually destroying our health. A worthy complement to such thematically related films as Fast Food Nation and Super Size Me, King Corn is an eye-opening indictment of modern farming practices. It recently received its theatrical premiere at New York's Cinema Village and is slated to air on PBS in the spring.
The film, directed by Aaron Woolf, revolves around two longtime friends, Curtis Ellis and Ian Cheney, who share a common background: Both had great-grandfathers who were farmers in the small town of Greene, Iowa.
Deciding to see for themselves just how different modern farming has become, the pair set out to grow an acre of corn, chronicling their crop's journey from the fields into the marketplace.
Much of what they encounter, including the herbicides and genetically modified seeds that now are regularly employed, comes as no surprise. What is surprising is the sheer dominance of corn in our lives, in ways most of us don't recognize. It is particularly prevalent in fast food: high-fructose corn syrup is used to sweeten the sodas, the burgers are made from corn-fed beef that is high in fat, and the fries are made with corn oil.
It's thus not surprising that nearly two-thirds of Americans are classified as overweight or obese and that diabetes is sharply on the rise.
The film also delves into the controversial issues of farm subsidies -- former Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz, who initiated the policy, is interviewed -- and the growing corporatization that is destroying the family farm.
At times the docu becomes a little too simplistic -- we probably didn't need to hear from the Brooklyn cabbie who lost 100 pounds after he stopped drinking soda -- and its concentration on its quirky central figures feels more self-indulgent than illuminating. But the overall importance of its message more than compensates for these minor flaws.
