Whale Rider opens in NY
Whale Rider opens in NY and LA today. Great film that won the International film award at the Sundance Film Festival in January. Beautifully filmed tale about a Maori myth that explains the origin of humanity. I can hardly wait for it to get to Phoenix. Same for Capturing The Friedmans. A documentary winner at Sundance this year. Don’t miss these two!
Two more powerful documentaries that I’m hoping to see distributed are State of Denial about South African Leader Mbeke’s refusal to admit a link between HIV and AIDs and the horrific consequences for the citizens of South Africa. The other is Not My Flesh and Blood, the story of a family of special needs children. They announced a website at Sundance but I am unable to find it (yet). I’ll post it when I find it. Watch for these films!
Russian Ark did come to Arizona, to the Madstone Theater. That was at Telluride last fall and is finally getting distributed.
