Check out the trailers for two of the big winners at SIFF. SIFF audiences have been known to be sophisticated and worldly (hence an activist documentary winning), but also love a good crowd-pleaser (as evidenced by the popularity of Black Dynamite as well as previous knee-slapping farces that have won the top prize). so... enjoy! These films will most definitely make it to a theater near you (and if not, catch them on DVD when the time comes)!
The Cove
SIFF 2009 Golden Space Needle - Best Documentary Opening in theaters July 31st
In the 1960's, Richard O'Barry was the world’s leading authority on dolphin training, working on the set of the popular television program Flipper. Day in and day out, O'Barry kept the dolphins working and television audiences smiling. But one day, that all came to a tragic end. THE COVE, directed by Louie Psihoyos, tells the amazing true story of how Psihoyos, O'Barry and an elite team of activists, filmmakers and freedivers embarked on a covert mission to penetrate a hidden cove in Japan , shining light on a dark and deadly secret. The mysteries they uncovered were only the tip of the iceberg.
Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about? No, not him, I'm talkin' about Black Dynamite. When “The Man” murders his brother, pumps heroin into local orphanages, and floods the ghetto with a secret weapon disguised as Anaconda malt liquor, Black Dynamite is the only hero willing to fight all the way from the blood-soaked city streets to the hallowed halls of the Honky House. He's a master of kung fu, has a lot of guns, and beds the most beautiful women in the hood. In short, Black Dynamite is every hero you wish you could be.
