A revolutionary film in more ways than one, Tangerine broke new ground in demonstrating that a feature film could be made on an iPhone, permanently changing the way people thought about who could make movies. It also featured trans actors playing trans characters in an authentic setting, showing joy as well as tragedy and changing people's ideas about the kind of stories cinema could tell. It presented a story about life in the underclass which anybody could relate to, and it was a also simply a very good, entertaining film. These are all good reasons to add it to your collection, but here's one more: the package of extras assembled on this Blu-ray is simply extraordinary.

"What good is music in the face of AIDS?" asked a gay composer during the height of the HIV epidemic. Rohan Spong's documentary All the Way Through Evening provides an answer: Music can't conquer disease, but it can outlive it.
The subject of Evening is pianist Mimi Stern-Wolfe, a lifelong New Yorker and a living museum. Walking around the East Village, she reminisces, "At one time, [this] was a haven for people that would flee from the rest of the United States to come to a big city and become an artist."
Many of her creative friends arrived in Manhattan, composed or wrote or sang, and were cut down in their 30s or 40s by AIDS. Since 1990, Stern-Wolfe has honored their memories by playing their opuses in an annual tribute concert.

Here's the trailer for a new documentary that tells the story of the New York HIV/AIDS crisis in a way that emphasizes beauty and memory, love and loss, and the transcendent power of music.

In its 7th year, the Bayside Film Festival, held annually at Palace Brighton Cinemas in Melbourne, will present a program of films which reflect and celebrate the triumph of the human spirit in times of turmoil and adversity. The 2010 festival will open with a red carpet event on July 14 with the world premiere of Australian director Rohan Spong's The Songs They Sang. The powerfully engaging feature-length documentary draws its audience into the little-known world of the Vilna Ghetto in Lithuania through a combination of interviews with Holocaust survivors and their relatives and the intensely emotive music composed and performed by Vilna's Jewish inhabitants prior to and during World War II.

Take one part Sin City, add period costumes, shift the story to the late 1800s, and make your two male leads gay -- that seems the most succinct way to explain Moonlite, a new Australian adventure tale of real-life charismatic bushranger Andrew George Scott, alias, Captain Moonlite, and his close companion, James Nesbitt.
Here's the lowdown...
Fated to meet in prison, the pair become lifelong friends and embark on an adventure through the Australian bush. A police constable pursues them, a young newspaper journalist commentates on their journey in print and a mysterious lady in black watches from afar as the story reaches a shocking conclusion.
The film wrapped filming in May in front of green screen backgrounds, and we have some photos from that shoot.
