Manda Bala dazzles at DocNight in Denver

June 6th, 2008 | Add a Comment

Tweet Last night marked my first trip down to the Starz FilmCenter for DocNight, a monthly documentary series presented by the Denver Film Society. This month’s film was Manda Bala, a truly outstanding documentary that weaves together several story lines to paint a gritty and rich portrait of corruption in Brazil. The film, directed by Jason Kohn (who also appeared in-person for Q&A at last night’s event) was the product of over five years of hard work and emphasized the concept of the documentary as a form of cinematic storytelling. read more | digg story … Read entire article »

SXSW Review: Año Uña

March 19th, 2008 | Add a Comment

Tweet Año Uña is a movie that definitely defies the regular rules of film because it tells the story in a sequence of 24 photographs flipped as the story progresses. This premiere seemed well suited for SXSW because the Mexican and American conflicts are definitely felt in Austin, Texas with full force. read more | digg story … Read entire article »

Miss Universe 1929

November 13th, 2007 | Add a Comment

Tweet Starz Denver Film Festival Review: Miss Universe 1929 is the story of Lisl Goldarbeiter, the Austrian Beauty Queen who won the title of Miss Universe in 1929. Told using archival footage from her husband Marci Tenczer, the story follows Goldarbeiter from her childhood through her eighties as she becomes a beauty queen, lives through World War I and II, and refuses to leave her beloved city of Vienna. The story begins and ends with Tenczer telling filmmaker Peter Forgacs how much he loved Goldarbeiter and how he thought she was the most beautiful woman to ever walk the earth. While the story of Tenczer’s love for Golddarbeiter is romantic, the film fails to go into any real detail about the more interesting parts of Goldarbeiter’s life. This is a woman … Read entire article »
