Freddy's Cine It

My Last Day at Cinanima (With Eva) For my second and, ridiculously, last day (lol) in Espinho for the 49º Cinanima Festival, I took my daughter Eva to the Family Screening. This one was called "Mini Micro," a selection of short animations put together by Casa de Animação, held on November 9th at the Centro Multimeios. I'm gutted that I couldn't stay for the whole week... 😞 I really wanted to see the international and national competition screenings. But for now, I'm just doing my own little competition here at Cine It. 😛 So, here's the full list of the shorts we saw, ranked from my favorite to my least favorite. 📅 A Quick Note By the time I'm posting this, the festival is still running (it ends on November 23rd). If you're anywhere near Espinho, make sure you catch it. It's seriously worth the visit. 🥇 Cine It Gold: Tiger (2010) In first place, no contest, is Tiger (or Tige...

Gayniggers from Outer Space is a 1992 short film, directed by Danish filmmaker Morten Lindberg. The movie is a satire of the blaxploitation and science fiction genres. The film begins in black-and-white and later turns to color, in a way similar to The Wizard of Oz. According to director Morten Lindberg, this was a "dramatic special effect" to illustrate "the world being freed from vicious women". The film is the namesake of the troll group Gay Nigger Association of America. source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gayniggers_from_Outer_Space Extraterrestrial beings travel the galaxy to free men "oppressed" by females to make way for an entirely-homosexual society. source: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0274518/ ***SPOILER ALERT*** What a come back to this blog must I say!

Don't Need You is a documentary film that tells the story of the origins of Riot Grrrl in the American independent music scene of the 1990s, and how this feminist movement evolved into a revolutionary underground network of education and self-awareness through music, writing, activism, and women-friendly community. The film gives audiences a chance to meet key figures in the development of Riot Grrrl and see for themselves how these women have changed the history of music and feminism forever. The film features one-on-one interviews interspersed with rare, archival materials, including original Riot Grrrl fanzines, flyers, and photographs, as well as seldom seen footage from pioneering Riot Grrrl bands like Bikini Kill, Heavens to Betsy, and Bratmobile. source: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1016293/ ***SPOILER ALERT*** I'm afraid to say anything; this is enemy territory. If I were born a girl, I would be a riot gr...
