THE SECRET ART OF HUMAN FLIGHT – Part 1

by  • 

THE SECRET ART OF HUMAN FLIGHT is a cinematic tour de force that will have audience members resonating with emotion for days and days after they’ve seen the film. “My hope,” Director H.P. Mendoza writes in a statement, “is that viewers can lose themselves in this story and meditate on their own lives, their own phobias and roadblocks, and their connections to other people – maybe even to the other people in the theater. And even if after viewing this film you run back into isolation for whatever reason, I hope that – for a moment – I connected with you.”– Review, Article by Gregg W. Morris.

Film Review
I DIDN’T SEE YOU THERE: A Mindboggling, Mind-blowing, Mind-bending Film Experience

by  • 

Reid Davenport:“All of the footage in I DIDN’T SEE YOU THERE is shot by me from my literal point-of-view. The motivation for this is twofold: 1, to jar viewers with shots from a camera held by my spastic body or mounted to my wheelchair, and, 2, to unequivocally rebuke the norm of disabled people being seen and not heard In this film, viewers listen to my voiceover without ever seeing the entirety of my face.”

Film Review of Recently Re-released IRRESVERSIBLE (2002) with its companion IRREVERSIBLE: STRAIGHT CUT (2023) by Gaspar Noé.

by  • 

Excerpt from the production notes: “On the original release of IRREVERSIBLE, critics responded vehemently, and the relationship between the violence of the film and its form was central to how it was perceived and valued. However, as yet, there has been little critical response to the Straight Cut and, as a result, there has been little discussion about how the revised structure impacts on the film’s meaning and the permissibility of its depiction of violence.”

This reviewer wonders what respected American filmmakers in these contemporary times will be saying about the new release. What will respected Filmmakers of Color as well as respected Film Reviewers of Color say? Last, but absolutely not least, what’s will be on the minds of respected women filmmakers and film reviewers? – Review by Gregg W. Morris
