source Twitch
Check out with wonderful little 12 minute animated story TEMPLE RIDER(奇廟單車遊). Its a very surreal style of animation which though its in catonese (sorry no English subs) its till wonderful to watch as its in High -Def and even if you cant speak Catonese you'll able to get the grasp of the animation.
To prove how good this little gem is it recently won Hong Kong Regional Award Gold winner and the Encouragement Award winner awards at last months  12th TBS DigiCon6.

The girl in our story (Yan) is a reflection of the new generation in Hong Kong. She is very protective by her family and does not even have the guts to ride on a two-wheel bicycle. One day, she finds a magic temple and her new challenge begins.

Trailer For Steven Soderbergh's AND EVERYTHINGS GOING FINE Documentary on Spalding Gray

source Apple
IFC Films have debuted online the trailer for the Steven Soderbergh documentary AND EVERYTHINGS GOING FINE a movie focused on the actor Spalding Gray who died in 2004. To be honest I dont really know much about the man apart from his part in The Killing Fields, obvivously Soderbergh who is a character driven filmmaker did see alot in Spaldings life and he beleved his story must be told and the movie is his outcome.
The Doc consists mostly of recorded footage & interviews of Gray compiled into to making the movie which had already played the likes of Edinburgh & Sxsw festivals to positive reviews. The movie is due a cinematic release in USA on 10th December as for UK no date has been confirmed.

Synopsis

AND EVERYTHING IS GOING FINE, an incisive and entertaining portrait of Spalding Gray by director Steven Soderbergh provides an intimate look at the master monologist as described by his most critical, irreverent and insightful biographer: Spalding Gray. Soderbergh distills 25 years of rare and revealing footage to construct a riveting final monologue. An official selection of the SXSW, True/False and Edinburgh film festivals, this inspired one-man show is a bittersweet display of the writer-performer's playful and embattled intelligence, and his gift for tracking universal truths by looking himself squarely in the eye.

With he recent release of Skyline, Monsters plus next March's World Invasion:Battle Los Angeles on the cards it seems that Alien Invasion movies are the 'in-genre' at the moment. You could search the world including our own backyard and you'll find similar movies poping up everywhere and ALONE(Solos) is Spain's addition to the genre.
Directed by Mexican Pablo Olmos Arrayales who now lives in Spain and Alone will be his feature debut after a sucessfull award winning few years directing Short films. Well a little confession this trailer is actually for a movie not been made yet but it does look fantastic and looking at the source post they does say the filmmaker is working on the script for itand expect the movie in the next year or two. If this is to help prmote his idea to potential studios I dont think he has much to worry about!
