Utopia has acquired “Dope Is Death,” a look at the establishment of an unconventional detoxification program in the Bronx in the early 1970s to deal with the heroin epidemic.
The sale took place in advance of the film’s screening in November at Doc NYC. Mia Donovan, who previously helmed “Inside Lara Roxx” and “Deprogrammed,” directed the film.
“Dope Is Death” centers on Dr. Mutulu Shakur, stepfather of Tupac Shakur, and a coalition of left-wing activists from the Young Lords and Black Panthers, who combined community health with radical politics to create Lincoln Detox, the first acupuncture detoxification program in America.
The film is slated to premiere on Vice World News — a new series presented by Vice co-founder Suroosh Alvi — before releasing digitally across VOD platforms.
“I feel so honoured to share this story of how community activists confronted the war on drugs with acupuncture and political education,” Donovan said.

A rambling, unpretentious music documentary made in the spirit of Alan Lomax and Les Blank, Daniel Cross' I Am the Blues tags along through Mississippi and Louisiana as aged performers swap songs and recollections with each other. Bobby Rush is the closest thing to a household name here, though connoisseurs will be just as happy to see Lazy Lester, Barbara Lynn, and others, many still in fine voice. It's not the kind of production that begs widespread arthouse play. But as the doc tours the country in theatrical bookings, it will be warmly welcomed by lovers of music that hasn't...

I Am The Blues screens Friday, July 7th through Tuesday July 11th at Webster University’s Moore Auditorium (470 East Lockwood). The movie starts each evening at 8:00pm. I Am the Blues takes the audience on a musical journey through the swamps of the Louisiana Bayou, the juke joints of the Mississippi Delta and Moonshine soaked BBQs in the North Mississippi Hill Country. The film visits blues musicians rooted in the genre’s heyday, many in their 80s, still living in the American deep south and touring the Chitlin’ Circuit. Let Bobby Rush, Barbara Lynn, Henry Gray, Carol Fran, Little Freddie King, Lazy Lester, Bilbo Walker, Jimmy “Duck” Holmes, Rl Boyce, Lc Ulmer, Lil’ Buck Sinegal and their friends awaken the blues in all of us.

Helix shows a market improvement in its fifth episode. Here's Billy's review of The White Room...
This review contains spoilers.
1.5 The White Room
It was with a sense of general dread that I approached the fifth Helix outing. Not that the Us TV-friendly level of horror in it scared me, it was more to do with how unrelentingly dumb most of the last story was. Yet, and this doesn’t happen often, The White Room turned things around somewhat.
The critical difference between this and what went before is that for the first time almost all the characters appear to have taken their brains out of neutral and selected a forward gear. There are some still making very poor choices - that I’ll cover later - but most of them aren’t the same people we met last week, who couldn’t find...

The future Abstergo/conspiracy elements of the Assassin's Creed series have never really been all that interesting to me: when you have a rich, well-realized version of Venice or Jerusalem, or Revolutionary War-era America, exploring a stark white lab in some ill-defined future fails to generate any kind of curiosity or sense of mystery. With the recent release of Assassin's Creed: The Chain, co-writers Cameron Stewart and Karl Kerschl (who also provides art) nearly succeed where a a parade of games has failed: in making Abstergo interesting.
The Chain is a original graphic novel followup to Assassin's Creed: The Fall, which introduced readers to early 20th century Assassin Nikolai Orelov and his descendant, the directionless, drug addled Daniel Cross. Life with the Assassins hasn't been kind to either man, their experiences with the organization leading both to retreat from the world: Daniel into an Abstergo Animus device and Nikolai into...

Selena Gomez will executive-produce and star in the one-hour special set to premiere in early 2013. She’ll join Jake T. Austin, Jennifer Stone, Maria Canals-Barrera, David DeLuise and Gregg Sulkin who’ll reprise their original roles. The storyline takes the Russo family and friends to Tuscany, Italy, to meet their long lost relatives but when Alex (Gomez) tries to prove she’s more than a seemingly carefree young Wizard, she inadvertently conjures a spell that creates a Good Alex and an Evil Alex. When Evil Alex gets roped into a foreboding plan to take over the world, Good Alex must find a way to save her family and humankind, which leads to a monumental battle between the two versions of herself – all atop the Tower of Pisa. The TV special was written by Vince Cheung and Ben Montanio (Wizards Of Waverly Place) and Dan Berendsen (Baby Daddy). Cheung, Montanio, Dan Cross...

"Assassin's Creed III," the next major installment in Ubisoft's incredibly popular game franchise, is due out this fall. But if you're hankering for some Assassin-Templar war action to tide you over until then, Ubisoft has announced an all new graphic novel, "The Chain." While the book serves as a continuation of the story-arc developed in previous "Creed" comics, it's apparently tied to the next game in some manner, as well.
A couple years ago, Ubisoft teamed up with now-defunct DC imprint Wildstorm to produce a three-issue comic series, "Assassin's Creed: The Fall." The story followed the exploits of Nikolai Orelov, a Russian assassin in the late 19th century. Much like the characters in previous "Creed" videogames, Orelov's tale is seen through the eyes of his modern-day descendent, Daniel Cross.
According to Ubisoft's site, "The Chain" is the next chapter in Orelov and Cross' story.

Pearls of the Far East

Any young director is faced with a steep challenge when shifting his or her focus from the realm of short films to that of the feature length.

It was Canada’s turn for glitz and glamour last night as the red carpet rolled out for The 31st Annual Genie Awards, Canada’s biggest night in film. Awards were handed out at the National Arts Center in our nation’s capital last night and hosted by icon and current funnyman William Shatner. The televised event on CBC only lasted a meager 1 hour, whereas the entire ceremony itself was an hour and a half. Several awards were already given out prior to the telecast, cutting to the chase for the night’s biggest contenders. The night’s biggest winners were also the ones who dominated the nominations: Incendies and Barney’s Version

Bonnie returned to her native Canada for the star-studded 31st Annual Genie Awards in Ottawa, Ont. and rubbed shoulders with some big Hollywood names — some you might not have realized were Canadian! Bonnie had the honor of presenting the fan-voted favorite actor category, which was awarded to Canadian cutie and star of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Jay Baruchel. Keep reading for a full list of winners!
Jay was most recently in the movie The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, but you would also recognize him from hit movies like Million Dollar Baby, Knocked Up, How to Train Your Dragon, and She’s Out of My League. He must have been super excited to win, because as he was accepting the awards he thanked his “fiancée,” actress Allison Pill, and accidentally announced his engagement for the first time!

While Denis Villeneuve's Incendies lost out in its Best Foreign Picture bid, but in what constitutes a nice consolation prize, the film picked up a total of eight awards, including Best Motion Picture, Achievement in Direction, Adapted Screenplay (both going to Villeneuve), and Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role which goes to versatile thesp Lubna Azabal at the Canadian Oscars otherwise known as The Genie Awards. The other big winner of the evening was Barney's Version -- it picked up seven awards (three in the acting departments and costume and make-up kudos). Xavier Dolan's sophomore film Heartbeats went zero for four - but that was to be expected when you measure it up to Incendies. This sunday are French Canada's Oscars (the Jutra awards) - and Villeneuve should will undoubtedly continue his winning streak. Here are all the winners/categories.

It was a wonderful night celebrating documentary filmmaking at the fourth annual Cinema Eye Honors, held in the beautifully renovated Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens, N.Y. on January 18th. Hosted by filmmakers Aj Schnack (Kurt Cobain: About a Son) and Esther Robinson (A Walk Into the Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory), the nominees comprised of some of the best documentary films of 2010, truly a celebration of nonfiction filmmaking rather than a competition. David Schwartz, the chief curator of the Museum, relayed the thoughts of many filmgoers who say that “the best films at festivals are the documentaries.” The night kicked off with musical accompaniment by the Quavers and an excerpt of Utopia in Four Movements, performed by Sam Green. His excerpt was at both funny and poignant, touching upon a mix of history and comedy, segueing between 1960s ideas of the future world to...

Last night's fourth annual Cinema Eye Honors, the awards show dedicated entirely to documentary excellence, belonged to street artist Banksy. His film "Exit Through the Gift Shop" took home two awards including the film's top prize for Outstanding Achievement in Nonfiction Feature Filmmaking and the man himself delivered the acceptance speech of the night. Well, not quite the man himself, since Banksy was a no show (obviously, since nobody outside of one random seller on eBay). But "Gift Shop" producer Jaimie D'Cruz, accepting the award on Banksy's behalf, read some words the man himself had prepared. And they were fantastic. After some pleasantries, D'Cruz got down to business. I had my tape recorder rolling. Here was Banksy's speech:
"Now's not the time for long, rambling speeches. I'll leave that for the director of 'Waiting for Superman.'
I'd like to thank the Cinema Eye awards. It's great...

I’m sure we are all very well aware of the negative stigma that surrounds comic book adaptations of video games. Let’s face it; the majority that have been released seem to have been put for no other reason than making a buck, leaving the integrity of the original franchise in the dust.
