Six to Watch: “Film Fest Faves II”
Keyframe digs into six essential highlights from Fandor’s 29-film package of festival favorites, drawn largely from this side of the millennium, including LIFE AND NOTHING MORE, RARE BEASTS and A FEAST OF MAN.
Curator’s Pick: “Henri-Georges Clouzot’s Inferno”
On the short list of movies made about movies that were never made, Henri-Georges Clouzot’s Inferno sits near the top. It’s a fascinating descent into the perilous rabbit hole of artistic madness, an object lesson in the dangers of an auteur gone wild. It’s not unique in this regard…
Six to Watch: “Cruel Summer”
Having a hard time keeping your cool this summer? The world is on fire, the air conditioner is sputtering, and the misery index is off the charts. Take heart, Fandor is here to show you how much worse it could be in their “Cruel Summer” 28-movie collection.
WATCH FOR FREE: “Blind Woman’s Curse”
Japanese cult filmmaker Teruo Ishii delights in slathering the frame with blood and guts—including a stomach-churning tattoo flaying—and surprises with moments of visual elegance and surreal poetry.
Six to Watch: “No Wristband Required”
This month, Fandor streams a 34-film collection of rock’n’roll movies—and other jukebox favorites—with lots of juicy live performance footage and close encounters with icons and underground heroes (and heroines). Play these six highlights LOUD.
INTERVIEW: Andreas Horvath on “Zoo Lock Down”
Keyframe spoke recently with the Austrian writer-director about his experiences in Salzburg, the ideas that shaped his footage, and why he really dislikes zoos! As a bonus, the filmmaker also talked about the unusual saga of his 2015 documentary HELMUT BERGER, ACTOR.
INTERVIEW: David Weissman on “The Cockettes” and “We Were Here”
Essential documents of what now seems almost a fantastical time and place—San Francisco from the late 1960s into the early ’80s—THE COCKETTES (2002) and WE WERE HERE (2011) respectively tell the stories of the outrageous glitter-bombed, gender-bent performance troupe and a heroic response to the harrowing impact of the AIDS epidemic on a blindsided populace. Keyframe catches up with filmmaker David Weissman.
INTERVIEW: Adrian Murray on “Retrograde”
Keyframe speaks with RETROGRADE writer-director Murray about his sharp, concise new cringe comedy, the Slamdance-vetted film’s unpredictable admixture of inspirations, and Toronto’s close-knit indie film scene.
INTERVIEW: Theodore Schaefer on “Giving Birth to a Butterfly”
After a decade of working his way up through the indie film ranks, writer-director-producer Theodore Schaefer at last sees the debut of his highly distinctive …
INTERVIEW: Johannes Grenzfurthner on “Razzennest”

His latest, RAZZENNEST, is now streaming exclusively on Fandor.
