HERRICANES
This is a look at the women's football league that sprung up in the 1970's. While we think of women playing the game now, back in the mid 70's it was unheard of.
This is a solid sports documentary that is good enough that I want to know why ESPN didn't tell this story as part of 30 For 30. While the film is free of big names, the women who played the game overcome the need for flash by being compelling storytellers.
I can't wait to see this again.
ANNA'S FEELINGS
In a bleak future Russia where man is heading to Mars, a woman who works in a factory begins to receive messages from an alien civilization. Will anyone listen to her.
One of the hidden gems of this year's Slamdance, ANNA'S FEELINGS is absolutely not what you expect. No matter what I say of the plot is not going to prepare you for the deeply thoughtful and moving film you are going to see. This is a film with a great deal on it's mind and I'm going to need several more go throughs to parse it all out. Seriously there is great stuff here I need to revisit from the factory reviewing of a festival.
This is exactly the sort of off the beaten trail I started Unseen Films to highlight and as such it is very recommended.
