This shark documentary is insane, I'm so used to drones that I thought they had a robot to film underwater to find the Greenland Shark but no, the BBC really sent a Bri'ish guy to freeze his ass off under the Arctic ocean and get pictures of the piss shark

My respect for them has been really upgraded now.

#cosas mias #the BBC does go to insane lenghts to film beasts and creatures and I do appreciate that even as an Argentine

Movie: Nazareno Cruz y el lobo (Nazareno Cruz and the Wolf)

Director: Leonardo Favio

Year: 1975

Country: Argentina

Genre: Horror

"Nazareno Cruz is a young Gaucho living in a rural town. He is known for being the seventh son of his father, and so he is seen by the locals as the victim of the werewolf curse. Despite this he lives happily in the community. When Nazareno is about to turn 18 he meets Griselda and they both fall in love. Soon after, "Mandinga" (the Devil) presents himself to Nazareno and explains that his curse is real. Mandinga makes Nazareno a proposition: if Nazareno gives up his love, he will receive in exchange his freedom and many riches. Nazareno refuses the deal and eventually turns into a werewolf, becoming involved in a series of tragedies."

NOIR CITY 21

Celebrating its 21st year, NOIR CITY, the largest annual film noir festival in the world, returns to Oakland's Grand Lake Theatre, January 19-28, 2024. FNF president Eddie Muller will present a dozen double bills pairing an English language noir with a similarly themed foreign language film—24 films over 10 days. Whatever the country of origin, there are heists, prison breaks, missing persons, cultural alienation, love triangles, and lots of plain old-fashioned murder.

Muller says this edition "has been tailored to satisfy those folks who love noir filled with the colorful vernacular slang so essential to American and British noir—as well as adventurous viewers intrigued by seeing a familiar story—typically a crime committed for passion or profit—play out in cultures with different values, mores, and styles." Through his programming of NOIR CITY festivals around the nation and his hosting of the popular Noir Alley franchise on Turner Classic Movies, Muller aims to move audiences past the idea that film noir is a strictly American genre.

Joining him this year, as co-programmer and co-host, is acclaimed film scholar Imogen Sara Smith, a familiar commentator on The Criterion Channel streaming service. "Attending NOIR CITY in the Bay Area has been a highlight of my year for over a decade," says Smith, "and I'm thrilled to be joining Eddie as co-host this year. I'm especially excited that the program we've put together will introduce audiences to some rare international titles, alongside Hollywood classics. It's going to be a stellar festival."

Kicking off the collection of rarities is the FNF's most recent restoration — 1952's Argentine film Never Open That Door (No abras nunca esa puerta) — based on two short stories by American master of suspense fiction, Cornell Woolrich. The picture was preserved by the Film Noir Foundation in 2013 and has now been completely restored by the FNF through UCLA Film & Television Archive, thanks in part to a grant from the Golden Globe Foundation (formerly HFPA). Fernando Martín Peña, Argentina's pre-eminent cinephile, will be on hand to introduce the film with Eddie Muller.

Included on the 2024 schedule are English-language rarities such as Black Tuesday (1954), Plunder Road (1957), Across the Bridge (1957), and Strongroom (1962). Little-seen international titles include The Human Beast (France, 1938), Aimless Bullet (South Korea, 1960), Bitter Rice (Italy, 1949), Four Against the World (Mexico, 1950), Zero Focus (Japan, 1961), and Smog (1962), a forgotten surrealist masterpiece by Italian director Franco Rossi freshly restored by UCLA Film & Television Archive.

white person from the netherlands saying all this.... oh fuck off. i dont even like the movie THAT much but like why do you as a dutch person need minority cinema to be revelatory/masterful to be worth talking about whatsoever

#i would be petty and post their fave director list but let me choose love and kindness amen #but like asking for an argentine film to be a political masterwork and 100% serious when some of your fave directors are. well...

Sometimes when I listen to music I have this recurring daydream of me making a film and having whatever song I'm listening to as either the opening or closing theme of the film, but the film itself is plotless bc I haven't come up with the plot yet lmao.

#if i were to make a film it would probably be very heavily inspired by a0 but more argentine and probably full of 80s hits #and have luis ziembrowski as the lead jsjsj #🫀
