1960’s exploitation films did so much for the industry, as they created a general roadmap for how to make a commercially successful film. The following decade would bring further proof in the form of “blaxploitation,” a ethnic subgenre that saw Black filmmakers and creatives take center stage in stories that were meant to entertain audiences while also serve as representation in the industry. Although still quite controversial within the community for their explicit storylines, the heros many times

“I live my life a quarter mile at a time.” In Los Angeles, many drivers can relate to that famous quote from “The Fast and the Furious,” said by character Dominic Toretto, played by Vin Diesel. The original film brings together a host of references that many Southern California could probably point out. From scenes taking places in areas like Dodgers Stadium, to what is now the San Bernardino Airport, the film has a host of references that locals will get a kick out of seeing on the big screen. Not

In prior interviews with documentary filmmaker Jesse Moss on FilmWeek, we’ve spoken to him about what it’s like following kids simulating our branches of government— but in “War Game,” him and co-director Tony Gerber get into a much heavier look at American democracy. The documentary follows former and current public officials, as well as national security personnel, as they try to manage a military coup attempt. With army veterans as the knowledgeable opposition in this simulation, the documentary

Written and directed by Richard Pappiatt, ‘Kneecap’ tells the fictionalized origin story of Belfast rap trio Kneecap, with the rappers playing themselves in their feature film debut. Through drugs, rap music, and a whole lot of trouble the trio fight to save the Irish language in a place with less than 80,000 native speakers. The film made a splash at Sundance earlier this year as the first Irish language film and first non-us film to win a Next Audience Award. Today on FilmWeek, Austin chats with

It’s certainly a challenge to hit all the right notes for a coming-of-the-age film, but new films certainly have had issues in the past with folding in our new virtual-savvy lives; however Sean Wang’s feature directorial debut “Dìdi (弟弟)” manages this through inventive visuals and a great performance from the film’s teenage lead Izaac Wang. Set in the Bay Area during the late aughts, “Dìdi” follows its teenage protagonist, Chris, as he works through his growing pains as a child of immigrant parents
