First Image From Sylvain Chomet's SWING POPA SWING

Posted: 13 Jan 2013 04:30 PM PST

Acclaimed animation director Sylvain Chomet is revisiting the elderly singing sisters from his zany French comedy Triplets of Belleville in a prequel Swing Popa Swing and a concept image has our first look at these characters as young girls along with their dad. As the image alludes the prequel to the Oscar-nominated film goes back to the triplets' childhood and deals with their relationship with their aging father, who wishes the trio to concentrate on studying medicine rather than music. There will also be sci-fi elements in the subplot involving aliens and a battle between CIA and KGB agents trying to capture their spacecraft. According to producer Didier Brunner of Paris-based studio Les Armateurs, the project may be developed as a stereoscopic 3D CG-animated film....

Calvin Reeder's Surreal Western THE RAMBLER Gets A Sundance Poster

Posted: 13 Jan 2013 04:01 PM PST

Dermot Mulroney is a ramblin' man. At least that's the sense I get from the poster of Sundance entry The Rambler, described by the man himself as a "psychedelic mind-blowing Western style film". Directed by Calvin Reeder and produced by the fine folks at XYZ Films (where Twitch honcho Todd Brown is a partner, blah blah), this promises to be one of the more anarchic screenings of this year's festival. Here's the synopsis:After being released from prison, a man known as The Rambler (Dermont) stumbles upon a strange mystery as he attempts a dangerous journey through treacherous back roads and small towns en route to reconnecting with his long lost brother....

Marshy's 10 Favourite Asian Movies of 2012 Part 2

Posted: 13 Jan 2013 09:16 AM PST

Every six months I like to take stock of the many new Asian films that have played in front of me, and consolidate my favourites into a Top 10 list to share with the Twitch readership. I should point out that this is a list of ten films - so should in no way be considered exhaustive - and highlights only my personal favourites from the 40 eligible films I have seen since the end of June. You are unlikely to find any Indian films listed here, not because I'm a vindictive racist, but simply because I tend to defer to the superior knowledge of my esteemed colleague Josh Hurtado in these matters. That and the fact that not too many Bollywood films play in...

Ben's 2012 In Film: Reflections & Favorites

Posted: 13 Jan 2013 09:00 AM PST

Perhaps it is also then the compass which is guiding me to the next stage in my life. Or, to pin this directly to one of the most mesmerizing cinematic images I can recall from 2012, like a string of headlights, bobbing and weaving along the blustery Anatolian steppe in far off Turkey; shining, searching, questioning, questing on through the night. As I look back on 2012 and the films that populated the various landscapes I traversed, these titles are also the guideposts, giving further shape and context, emotion...
