Rose’s real-life relationships with her own “gusbands” (a.k.a: gay best friends), “The Benefits of Gusbandry” follows serial relationship-killer Jackie Rosenblum and charming yet single River Manning as they navigate the modern world and find a new kind of significant otherness that unfolds over a seven-episode first season that covers dating, babies, parents and a few pot cookies, earning recognition from Best of Portland (Winner,...

Sundance. Berlin. Tribeca. Cannes. Venice. Toronto. New York. Once saved for occasional weeks out of any given year, “film festival season” has now become a year-long event. Be it the aforementioned biggest of the big, or the ever growing slate of must-attend smaller festivals like Hot Docs, True/False, Stanley or Telluride, film festivals are cropping up across the globe.
But very few of them are set against a beautiful landscape quite as glorious as the Mammoth Lakes region of California.
Marking their debut this year, the Mammoth Lakes Film Festival will launch their inaugural lineup this week, with a hotly discussed documentary from Alex Gibney leading the way.
Gibney’s Steve Jobs: The Man In The Machine will open the festival this Wednesday. “We are blessed to have gotten such a strong lineup this year,” says Shira Dubrovner, founder of the festival. She, along with veteran programmer Paul Sbrizzi...

Cinema has a way of acting like an echo chamber. it locks us into a space where we are asked to face up to ourselves through the guise of others: Our own doubts, and fears projected on the screen, looking back at us, but feeling so foreign. Birds Of Neptune, Steven Richter's second feature after his Portuguese-language debut Center Of Gravity, locks us in a haunted landscape of guilt and apprehension, one that in its very best moments exhibits both a Kieslowskian beauty and a playful tenor reminiscent of the ponderous artists and vagabonds found in the works of Jacques Rivette. It's a striking balance of sensibilities, upheld by Britt Harris and Molly Elizabeth Parker's beguiling performances as the grieving sisters at the film's center.Rachel...

While it might seem like overkill to schedule film festivals right at the height of Oscar season, the fests are where the contenders of tomorrow are found. So why not take a look at rising young talent while Academy Awards fever is breaking out? The folks behind the dream-like "Birds Of Neptune" will be hoping their feature does well at this year's Slamdance Film Festival, and today we have an exclusive clip from the movie. Co-written and directed by Steven Richter and starring Molly Elizabeth Parker, Britt Harris, Kurt Conroyd, Christian Blair, Lauren Luiz and Emma Anderson, the film follows two sisters left to care for themselves when their parents pass away, only to contend with the outside world encroaching on what they've built together. Here's the official synopsis: Young sisters Mona and Rachel are left to their own devices after the loss of their parents. Confined to their childhood...
