The technological possibilities of 3D printing may provide ideal fodder for the imagination, but that doesn't necessarily make for great drama. The chief accomplishment of "Print the Legend," the lively overview of various leading figures invested in advancing the 3D printer revolution from directors Luis Lopez ("Chevolution") and J. Clay Tweel ("Make Believe"), involves its capacity to do more than just show off the fancy new toys. Instead, "Print the Legend" delves into the industrial challenges facing the printer's development in addition to the numerous personal and professional hurdles that the field has already encountered. In short, it's less a movie about the gadget than the cutthroat business around it. However, the filmmakers expertly illustrate the dazzling possibilities of 3D printing from the swift opening, when a number of visionaries sing the praises of the device's progressive abilities. "If the last evolution was about bits," one inventor says, "this one's about.

Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams is starring in a new documentary about the famous Che Guevara portrait. The film, entitled “Chevolution,” is a “story of the power of a single image,” referring to the famous headshot of the iconic revolutionary, and features interviews with Che admirers such as Adams and actor Antonio Banderas. “Chevolution” was made by one of Adams’ friends, Trisha Ziff, who worked with the Northern Irish politican in the past on a Bloody Sunday photo exhibit. The film, which will have its British premiere this Friday, looks at the worldwide impact of the famous photo of the guerilla warrior wearing a single-starred beret and staring intensely into the distance. The photo, which represents resistance and revolution, can be seen on posters and t-shirts around the world. In his interview, Adams states that the revolutionary spirit of the iconic image inspired civil rights marches in Northern Ireland in 1968 before the Troubles began.
