Told from the perspective of former drug dealers, and featuring interviews with rights advocates Russell Simmons, Susan Sarandon, and David Simon (creator of “The Wire”), the film gives you the lessons you need to start your own drug empire while exposing the corruption behind the "war on drugs."

Film Buggs, Snag Films summer line up: Magic Camp, The Entrepreneur,Low & Clear, Welcome the Machine, THE TAIWAN OYSTER

MAGIC CAMP AVAILABLE ON VOD - JULY 9th An award-winning documentary about Tannen's Magic Camp and the aspiring young magicians enrolled there. Tannen's Magic Camp is the best-known magic outfit in the world. The camp has presto-ed such famous conjurers as David Blaine, Criss Angel and David Copperfield. Magic-obsessed kids descend on Tannem's every year and treat it like -- as the film's tagline boasts -- "a real-life Hogwarts." It's the one place where magic-obsessed kids can congregate to escape the pressure of growing up and be themselves. As one interviewee observes in the film:  "The camp really lets them let their freak flags fly." Besides improving the kids' sleights of hand, the camp builds self-esteem. Many campers are overweight or afflicted with disorders like Tourettes or Dyslexia. But the camp allows the enthusiastic campers' magnetic and wildly comical stage presences to shine. Magic Camp is a family-friendly film that's heartwarming and fun to watch.       DIRECTED BY: Emmy-Nominated JUDD EHRLICH (Run For Your Life, Mayor of the West Side, Science Fiction Land)  http://www.magiccampmovie.com/                                                                        THE ENTREPRENEUR AVAILABLE ON VOD - JULY 16th    Best known for producing the first sports car with gull-wing doors, Malcolm Bricklin brought Subaru and Yugo to North America. Over the course of his life, he has lost and regained millions, and failed as often as he's thrived. Malcolm gauges success by the breadth of each experience, not just by the revenue that his deals generates. In this documentary, his son, filmmaker Jonathan Bricklin, follows Malcolm's last grasp at power before his last gasp. The elder Brickman hopes to become the first distributor of Chinese cars in North America. All he needs is a factory and some investors. Given Malcolm's questionable conduct and insistence that others cow to his ideas, things don't seem too promising. Can the showman turn his bluster into reality?  The Entrepreneur is a testament to Malcolm Brickman -- a rollercoaster ride through the blockbuster deal of a lifetime. DIRECTED BY: JONATHAN BRICKLIN FEATURING: MALCOLM BRICKLIN, Legendary Entrepreneur LOW & CLEAR AVAILABLE ON VOD - AUGUST 6th During a winter fly fishing trip to Canada, two old friends, J.T. Van Zandt and Alex "Xenie" Hall, discover that they're growing apart. J.T., the thoughtful and even-keeled son of the songwriting legend Townes Van Zandt, believes there's more to fishing than catching fish. Short-tempered Xenie, a "firewood salesman", sees things differently. He fishes like he's racing against the clock. The two pals' angling styles and lifestyles merge and clash on the snowy riverbanks and in the damp hotel rooms of British Columbia. Low & Clear is a true story of friendship, fishing and the disappearing wilderness of the West. The documentary undulates like a river -- with moments of humor and pathos, success and failure -- as J.T. and Xenie ride out a fishing trip that could be their last.  DIRECTED BY: TYLER HUGHEN AND KAHLIL HUDSON http://www.lowandclear.com/ WELCOME TO THE MACHINE AVAILABLE ON VOD - AUGUST 6th After three years of trying in vain to have a child, filmmaker Avi Zev Weider and his wife Alexandra used IVF. Alexandra immediately became pregnant - with triplets. Grappling with this life-changing experience, Avi mulls the impact that technology has on his life. His babies have been conceived through a hi-tech process, weened in a hi-tech neo-natal intensive care unit and kept alive inside a succession of hi-tech machines. To help understand the implications of this brave new world, the filmmaker interviews futurists, scientists, scholars, anti-technology advocates and even Ted Kaczynski, aka the "Unabomber". He questions them about the modern romance with innovation, discussing everything from the origins of mechanization to the value of living things in today's world. Continually circling back to his own story, Avi's abstract dialogue emerges as a very human and emotional journey. DIRECTED BY: AVI ZEV WEIDER http://welcometothemachinemovie.com/ THE TAIWAN OYSTER AVAILABLE ON VOD - AUGUST 13TH An adventurous indie dramedy set in Taiwan. Darin and Simon are laid-back Americans who teach Kindergarten and run a Taiwanese magazine called The Oyster. When a fellow ex-pat dies, they realize no one has contacted his stateside family and there is no one to claim his body. After stealing his corpse, they embark on a quixotic road trip in search of a suitable burial place for someone they barely knew. Masquerading as a bender road-movie, the darkly comic film explores deep existentialist questions as the protagonists journey deeper and deeper into the Taiwanese countryside. DIRECTED BY: MARK JARRETT STARRING: BILLY HARVEY, JEFF PALMIOTTI & LEONORA LIM  http://www.thetaiwanoyster.com/  About SnagFilms SnagFilms features free, sponsor-supported, on demand viewing of more than 3,300 award-winning, fiction and non-fiction titles from some of the greatest names in film.

Coach Premiers on EspnW June 18th

COACH

Award-winning documentary short film 

to kick off ESPN Films & espnW's Nine for IX Film Series

Available On espnW.com Beginning June 18th 

Director | Bess Kargman 

Producer | Whoopi Goldberg

Vivian Stringer is one of the most prolific coaches in the history of college basketball. She was the first to lead three different schools to the NCAA Final Four, has over 900 wins and received the highest honor of all in 2009 – a place alongside Michael Jordan, John Stockton, Jerry Sloan and David Robinson as an inductee into the Basketball Hall of Fame.  Coach Stringer became well known to the non-sports world in 2007 when the words “nappy headed hoes” were used to describe the group of young women she led, in spite of tremendous odds, to the National Championship game that year.  Perhaps because Stringer is also a mother whose career successes have been intertwined with personal tragedy, her response to the 2007 incident showed she wasn’t just a great coach, but the perfect example of grace under fire.

ESPN Films' NINE FOR IX Presents VENUS VS. July 2nd at 8:00PM ET on ESPN

ESPN Films' NINE FOR IX Presents

VENUS VS.

Everyone knows about the swing. Everyone knows about the swagger. But what most Americans don’t know about Venus Williams is how she changed the course of her sport. In a stunning case that captured the attention of the European public beginning in 2005, Williams challenged the long-held practice of paying women tennis players less money than their male counterparts at the French Open and Wimbledon. With a deep sense of obligation to the legacy of Billie Jean King, Williams lobbied Parliament, UNESCO and Fleet Street for financial parity. Indeed, it was her poignant op-ed piece in The London Times that convinced many people that the tournament organizers at Wimbledon were “on the wrong side of history.” The boys clubs at Roland Garros and Wimbledon finally relented in 2007. In fact, it was at Wimbledon that year that Venus became the first women’s champion to earn as much as the men’s (Roger Federer).  So to her seven major championships, another victory can be added.

Director | Ava DuVernay

Producers | Ava DuVernay, Howard Barish, Tilane Jones, Libby Geist, Deirdre Fenton

Cast | Venus Williams, Billie Jean King, John McEnroe

Premiere Date | July 2nd at 8:00PM ET on ESPN

The Hamptons International Film Festival Kicks Off their SummerDocs Series 
June 15th with TWENTY FEET FROM STARDOM

Guild Hall | 158 Main Street, East Hampton NY

Following the screening, Lisa Fischer will participate in a Q&A Hosted by the legendary Dick Cavett 

Following the Q&A Lisa Fischer will treat the audience to a short performance

*Please note Darlene Love will no longer be in attendance*

 Triumphant and heartbreaking in equal measure, TWENTY FEET FROM STARDOM is a tribute to the unsung, yet unmistakable voices of the backup singers, which brought shape and style to popular music over the years. Gifted artists, spanning a range of manners, genres and eras, are featured sharing their uniquely fascinating and personal stories of life spent in the shadows of superstardom. Millions know their voices, but no one knows their names. Interviews with Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Mick Jagger and Sting , to name a few, take a backseat to the diverse array of singers whose lives and stories take center stage in this compelling new documentary from award-winning director Morgan Neville.

Tickets for the screenings are available for purchase at www.guildhall.org or at the Guild Hall Box Office.

The 21^st Annual Hamptons International Film Festival will be held over Columbus Day Weekend, October 10^th – 14^th 2013.

The Director of the Italian Cultural Institute Monday, June 24th at 8:30 pm, REscption for Renowned Italian artist Marco Nereo Rotelli

On the occasion of the 2013 Year of Italian Culture in the United States,

The Director of the Italian Cultural Institute Silvio Marchetti is pleased to cordially invite you to a private reception in honor of the site-specific installation

  

Divina natura

(Divine Nature)

  

featuring a spectacular light installation illuminating the facades of the Field Museum by Italian artist Marco Nereo Rotelli

Monday, June 24th at 8:30 pm 

Field Museum of Chicago - Northeast Terrace

1400 S Lake Shore Drive

  

curated by Kate Zeller readings by Thomas Haskell Simpson, Italian poet Giuseppe Conte

  

and Chicago poets Ana Castillo, Osama Esber, Reginald Gibbons, Arica Hilton, Elise Paschen, Lia Simou, Chana Zelig, curated by Arica Hilton

  

Soprano: Karolina Kvorakova

The light installation of the Field Museum's north facade will begin at 9:30pm

Join us for a glass of wine and views of the city before the lighting installation event begins at dusk

To reserve your seat at this spectacular show,

please click here.

  Renowned Italian artist Marco Nereo Rotelli will create an immense light installation that will be projected against the majestic façade of one of the city of Chicago's most renowned and visible monuments, the Field Museum of Natural History. Inspired by the museum's encyclopedic collection of artifacts from global human culture across millenia, from geological history and the natural world, Rotelli has turned to Dante's epic meditation on Nature and History in search of a comprehensive poetic vision of transcendent unity. Giant white fabric curtains hung between the museum's neoclassical columns will become screens reflecting floating, shifting images drawn from Dante's vast allegorical repertory of astrology, numerology, philosophy, theology and history.

In an array of different languages, poets will read verses, commissioned for the event, designed to weave the tensions and crises of our own moment into Dante's great harmonic tapestry, revealing the urgent relevance of a poem that speaks as much to the contemporary spirit as to that of the Middle Ages, and as much to the whole world as to Italy. Musicians will also perform music from different periods.

Visible to spectators from parks that surround the museum, from the city's legendary skyscrapers, from one of its most famous streets, from boats in the lake and even from the sky, the luminous installation will transform Dante's verse into a dazzling beacon beaming out across time and space, offering a unifying message of hope to everyone in this vibrant, various and terribly human city. Planned to correspond with the summer solstice, this hour-long, spectacular light, music and poetry event will begin at 9:30 p.m and will be preceeded by a private reception that starts at 8:30pm.

Reservations kindly requested by June 20th.
