A Bill Murray/Sundance short you can already watch

Date:

By choice, Bill Murray doesn't make that many films a year – he averages about 1.5 films per 12 months. In case you might be wondering what the .5 is … here is a prime example. About a million people before me have already seen the film (I'm not sure where I was all this time) but just recently, Spout's Karina Longworth pointed out a factoid that I had just discussed (read here) once the Sundance's short film selection was announced: is it really worth showcasing a film that has already been downloaded in the 7 figures?  

While we are on the subject of Bill – here is the list of films he'll be appearing in shortly commencing with a role in Warner Bros.' Get Smart
– he plays Agent 13…he is currently filming (as the lead role) the book to film adaptation of City of Ember about a futuristic society that might sound like what we'll make of this planet in 100 years or less and will join Wes Anderson for a different role in The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Directed by Dan Beers' – here is the short film entitled: FCU: FACT CHECKERS UNIT.

Ken Russell’s The Devils – 2010 Fantasia International Film Festival

Iconic director Ken Russell was in town to receive a lifetime achievement award from Fantasia for his 50-plus years in the business, a career that has spawned many genre classics including Altered States, Gothic, and The Lair of the White Worm. But it was the little-seen and hard to find The Devils from 1971 that proved to be Russell's most controversial work, and Fantasia managed to snag a copy to be screened on Russell's big night. In the video, Russell discusses the true story behind the film and receives his award with the grace befitting one of the great filmmakers of all time.
