Koura Linda spoke with Solzy at the Movies about The Heist, a new short film submitted for the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge. The film runs just under 6 minutes and can be viewed here. It’s so nice getting to chat with you in a setting that isn’t a shared AirBnb at Sundance. How are you doing? Koura Linda: It is! I’m over all good – lots of projects happening right now, which is good! As…

Nearly two years after its initial release in theaters, 18½ is now available for Watergate history buffs to bring home on DVD.

John Ford’s 1948 remake, 3 Godfathers, made its way onto Blu-ray in late March after getting a release through the Warner Archive Collection. I have to admit that I went into the film knowing it was a Ford/Wayne Western. What I didn’t know was that it was a retelling of the Biblical Three Wise Men tale. I can’t really tell you much about that because I’m most familiar with the Tanakh and its contents. Regardless,…

The Sundance Film Festival will have a new home in 2027 as the Park City-based festival is opening up requests for information and proposals. It is not a Sundance Film Festival without taking a photo with the Egyptian Theatre marquee in the background. It appears that those days are coming to an end. Well, maybe. Park City could still be in the running but the fact that the festival is opening up RFIs and RFPs…

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare takes audiences to the origins of Black Ops warfare, not to mention James Bond, too. I love a good World War II movie. Whether it’s fictional or based on a true story, we’re talking about The Greatest Generation. They rose up to the challenge to fight against evil. We’re losing more and more of this generation daily. The same goes for Holocaust survivors. Before we know it, we’ll only have…

The Band’s Visit dominated the Israeli Film Academy Awards upon its 2007 release by taking home eight Ophir Awards, including Best Picture. Eran Kolirin is a filmmaker that knew what he wanted right from the very beginning. It took nine years to pen the screenplay but it all starts with a man dressed as a police officer. The officer is a leader of a band and he meets a lonely woman. On another level, the…
