The film which received no love at the Gothams tied for 1st in total amount of noms with Telluride's The Last Station (Michael Hoffman).

We have year end favorite film lists, we have decade lists, but my favorite list of all is the Black List. Now in year 5, the annual list of the most popular unproduced screenplays voted by script readers who 9 times out of 10 are forced to read utter crap, will soon be unveiled - I suggest you check out the twitter feed for updates. As the votes are being tallied up, I thought we'd go back one year and see where we were at with the top 15 projects of the list.

I wouldn't be willing to call Michael Dowse Canada's answer to Harmony Korine, but the Fubar folk sorta remind me of some of the characters I've seen in Gummo-Trash Humpers worlds. Dowse is returning to his Fubar roots - producing a sequel to his 2002 original.

If the Croisette belonged to Sony Pictures Classics and IFC Films, then Park City is where Searchlight, Focus, Apparition, Roadside, Samuel Goldwyn and Magnolia get to have a piece of the cake.

This fall we've seen the premiere of four features and one feature documentary. Julius Kemp‘s English language Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre opened in early September. A horror-comedy hybrid with a strong surreal flavour, it depicts a brutal and bloody battle between whalers hellbent on major mischief and hapless whale watchers who get in their way. Sales company E1 Films has picked up UK rights, with other territories pending.
