OFFICIAL TRAILER FOR BARRY

Who'd have thought Vikram Gandhi's Barry would look set to go down as one of 2016's most mournful features? Any title dealing with U.S. politics, whether past, present or future-set, certainly would. His acclaimed sophomore film, which premiered in September at TIFF, opens via Netflix in the U.S. on the 16th of December. A little reminder of what was, before the disaster of what will be soon after...

INTO THE INFERNO - OFFICIAL TRAILER

Werner Herzog just doesn't stop, and too right too. Hot on the heels of Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World comes Into the Inferno, his acclaimed documentary on active volcanoes. With a premiere in Telluride and a subsequent showing in Toronto earning the film critical acclaim already, the film will be released by Netflix on the 28th of October in the US. Looks fantastic!

TRAILER FOR AVA DUVERNAY'S 13TH

The online film community was rather taken aback by the announcement of Ava DuVernay's documentary 13th as the opening night film for the 2016 New York Film Festival. Little knowledge of her new project had been disseminated, with most focused on her OWN show Queen Sugar and her upcoming Disney film A Wrinkle in Time - surely enough work for one person! But her film about the US' treatment of its black citizens in the light of the 13th amendment to the U.S. Constitution looks to be one of the best of the year, documentary or otherwise, particularly with this impactful trailer. Netflix will open 13th online in the US and the UK alike on the 7th of October, and will also handle its US theatrical release on the same date; the ever-reliable Dogwoof will oversee its British release, also on the 7th. It's also showing in the London Film Festival, following its NYFF world premiere.

CHRISTOPHER GUEST'S MASCOTS - TRAILER

 

Yep, definitely gonna be seeing this! Christopher Guest returns at last, not having directed a film for ten years! And bravo Netflix for bringing him back. Mascots will receive its world premiere later this month at TIFF, before moving onto LFF shortly before its US release on the 13th of October. This is its first trailer, and it's a corker. Check it out!

NEW TRAILER FOR NETFLIX'S BEASTS OF NO NATION

Anticipation is running higher than ever for Beasts of No Nation, the new film from Cary Fukunaga, the director of Sin Nombre, Jane Eyre and True Detective. The film is a prominent fixture on 2015's fall festival slate, with competition showings at Venice and London fests, and appearances at Telluride and Toronto to boot; the Venice and Telluride screenings have yielded terrific responses from attending critics. You can check out the teaser for Beasts, which is released both in theatres and online in the US on the 16th of October, here.
