Adapted for the screen from Ntozake Shange’s Obie Award-winning play ‘For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf’, this adaptation for screen is a poetic exploration of what it is to be of colour and female in this world. The story, a milestone in American Theatre, speaks as powerfully today as when it was first performed in New York in 1975. Through this remarkable adaptation we are taught about existence and hardship from the perspective of 20 black women. Exploring themes of love, abandonment, rape and abortion the film’s outstanding ensemble cast deliver visceral and intense performances; including BAFTA winner Thandie Newton (Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Crash) Janet Jackson, Macy Gray and Oscar winner Whoopi Goldberg (Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Ghost).

Trailer - Cave of Forgotten Dreams
Cave of Forgotten Dreams - Releases March 25th
Positively received at its Toronto Festival Premiere, CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS shows the dramatic results of Herzog’s exclusive access to the recently discovered Chauvet caves in the South of France, and their truly extraordinary cave paintings, dating back 32,000 years. Herzog’s use of 3D really brings these beautiful works of art and the breath-taking cathedral like cave with its towering stalagmites to life. Herzog uses his unique access to this treasure trove of Palaeolithic masterpieces to muse on the immensity and fragility of man’s progress. Herzog combines his gifts as a conjurer of unforgettable images, explorer of forbidden landscapes and poetic philosopher to illuminate and celebrate the earliest recorded visions of humanity. The Chauvet Cave, which contains the earliest known cave paintings, was discovered in 1994 and is considered one of the most significant prehistoric art sites. Hundreds of cave paintings depict at least thirteen different species, including horses, cattle, lions, panthers, bears, rhinos and even hyenas. The artists used techniques not often seen in other cave art making the Chauvet Cave an important record of Palaeolithic life in all of its savage detail.

The Establishing Shot: NICOLE KIDMAN RABBIT HOLE INTERVIEW
Written and directed by Seiji Chiba (Evil Ninja), featuring action choreography by Yuji Shimomura (Versus; Shinobi; Death Trance) and Kensuke Sonomura (The Machine Girl; Hard Revenge Milly: Bloody Battle) and described by the Montreal Gazette as “a ton of fun,” Alien Vs Ninja is one insane, action-packed, martial arts-meets-sci-fi gore-fest that delivers everything its perfectly descriptive title promises.
Returning from a deadly mission against a rival clan, a small group of legendary Iga Ninja warriors witnesses a blazing fireball roaring across the sky before crashing to earth in the distant forest. Rushing to the scene to investigate, they are caught completely off guard when they discover and are besieged by a pack of brutal and extremely ravenous extra-terrestrials and their slimy offspring – unwelcome visitors who most definitely have not come in peace. Quickly realising their swords, knives and throwing stars are ineffective against these intergalactic predators, the fearless ninja find themselves facing their greatest challenge ever in a mammoth fight for survival.
“A film that promises entertainment and then delivers it” (Todd Brown, Twitch), Alien Vs Ninja is a wall-to-wall celebration of “killer Kung Fu, gratuitous violence, silly splatter [and] high-powered action” (Frightfest) that gleefully remains true to the tradition of Asian extreme cinema favourites.
