Mangurama and Bobb Films have bought U.S. and Canadian theatrical distribution rights for the documentary “Weed the People,” executive produced by Ricki Lake.
Abby Epstein, who teamed with Lake on “The Business of Being Born,” directed “Weed the People.” The film made its world premiere at the 2018 SXSW Festival, was the audience award winner at the Nashville Film Festival and will have a West Coast premiere at the Mill Valley Film Festival.
Epstein and Lake said, “We are thrilled to be working with Mangurama on the theatrical release of our documentary, ‘Weed The People.’ Following in the footsteps of ‘The Business of Being Born,’ which changed the way Americans looked at childbirth, we hope that ‘Weed The People’ will humanize the controversy around medical cannabis. As our film reveals, access to this plant has become a human rights issue.”

Leisurely and pleasant, “Summer in the Forest” isn’t the usual documentary involving mental illness: It’s neither case-pleadingly issue-oriented nor a portrait of individual struggle and inspiration. Instead, Randall Wright’s feature simply observes the day-to-day lives of several long-term residents at L’Arche, a communal facility in France. Admittedly, the state-run L’Arche is unusual — the closest one might possibly get to this kind of institution in the U.S. would doubtless be an expensive private one. Still, Wright’s film provides considerable insight into how various special-needs conditions might be better handled by society than they are presently. The documentary plays an assortment of week-long and shorter runs around the U.S.
Less than a single lifetime — barely a blip on the historical radar — has passed since the mentally or even physically disabled were commonly shut away in often inhumane asylums designed less for their benefit than...

For more than half a century, a former sailor in the British Navy has made a home for people whose intellectual disabilities might otherwise doom them to life in gloomy or even violent hospitals — first in a tranquil town north of Paris, then in more than a hundred such communities in dozens of countries. Tagging along with the now octogenarian Jean Vanier and meeting some members of his surrogate family, Randall Wright's Summer in the Forest champions his vision by quietly watching it in harmonious action. Sure to be embraced by others doing such work and those who benefit from...

One of the major revolutionaries of the 60’s pop art movement, a widely influential theorist, and a beguiling, colorful personality in his own right, David Hockney is a prime figure for a documentary, but Randall Wright’s portrait, Hockney, never makes a strong enough argument for its own existence. Curating archival home video footage, interviews from colleagues, and conversations with the own monolithic artist, Hockney is equipped with the necessary resources, but none of the unified focus that’s required to make the nearly two-hour documentary feel essential.
Already the subject of multiple docs going as far back as Brian De Palma’s early short, The Responsive Eye, Wright’s own 2003 doc, David Hockney: Secret Knowledge, and the 70’s pseudo-biopic, A Bigger Splash, Hockney isn’t a stranger to cinematic representation. As recently as last year, he stole the scene with his vivid turn of phrases in Tim’s Vermeer...

Documentaries, even more so than narrative fiction films, live or die in the editing bay. Even in today’s age of boundary pushing documentaries that seem to be more interested in sensory experiences than anything resembling a narrative, editing can either allow even the most sterile and cliche documentary to truly come alive or thrust experimental pictures squarely into the mud. Take director Randall Wright’s latest film, the classically styled artist monograph known simply as Hockney.
As one may gather from the title, this documentary introduces the viewer to legendary UK pop art raconteur David Hockney. An iconic multi-hyphenate who would begin his career in admittedly classical realms like painting only to experiment in everything from photography to digital painting via some truly breathtaking pieces of iPad-based painting. Hockney, now in his 70s and as lively as ever, is best known for pop art pieces like his stunningly modern...

Each weekend we highlight the best repertory programming that New York City has to offer, and it’s about to get even better. Opening on February 19th at 7 Ludlow Street on the Lower East Side is Metrograph, the city’s newest indie movie theater. Sporting two screens, they’ve announced their first slate, which includes retrospectives for Fassbinder, Wiseman, Eustache, and more, special programs such as an ode to the moviegoing experience, and new independent features that we’ve admired on the festival circuit (including Afternoon, Office 3D, and Measure of a Man).
Artistic and Programming Director Jacob Perlin says in a press release, “Jean Eustache in a Rocky t-shirt. This is the image we had in mind while making this first calendar. Great cinema is there, wherever you can find it. The dismissed film now recognized as a classic, the forgotten box-office hit newly resurrected, the high and the low,...

I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
I’m not a particular fan of the artist David Hockney, but I enjoyed Randall Wright’s documentary tribute to him as much for its spirited celebration of a life straddling many different worlds in time and place as for its examination of how his work has developed over decades and across numerous disciplines. Through wonderful archival footage, including the Hockney family’s own home movies, and interviews with family, friends, and the artist himself, Wright develops an extraordinary portrait of a man who grew up among the privations of postwar Britain — Hockney was born 1937 and was 16 when rationing ended — to embrace,...

From the hi-tech iPad art to the paintings of shimmering swimming pools, this film portrait is an amiable celebration of David Hockney, but it never goes quite deep enough
Randall Wright’s docu-portrait of David Hockney, arguably Britain’s greatest living artist, is an amiable, agreeable study – as engaging and undemanding as a magazine profile with a great photo spread. It’s an attractive introduction or reintroduction to the man and his work, and to his remarkable experimentalist curiosity and readiness to pioneer new media. I knew about Hockney’s Polaroid mosaics, but until now I had never seen what you might call the 2.0 upgrade: he drives along, videotaping the countryside with nine digital cameras in fixed positions, producing a mesmeric chequerboard collage of moving pictures in fractionally misaligned frames. Hockney has used fax machines, colour photocopiers, iPhones and iPads to create art. It is fascinating.

Eight Days a Week: Hockney Doc Shows Artist’s Colorful Life
Guiding auds through his career from his early days growing up in Bradford, to moving to Los Angeles in the sixties, influential British artist David Hockney’s life is laid bare in Randall Wright’s titular Hockney. Although there have been documentaries following Hockney before, recently Make Your Own Damn Art! (John Rodgers, 2013) and Waiting for Hockney (Billy Pappas, 2008), this is the first documentary to give a full picture of his upbringing, his influences and to interview the artist himself as well as his dearest friends. The result is an intimate portrait of an intriguing man, whose cheeky spirit and sense of fun hasn’t yet diminished, despite now living a relatively quiet life in Los Angeles.
Now 77-years-old, it’s obvious that Hockney enjoys his privacy, and doesn’t like having his life displayed in public as his art is.

There are 18 world premieres at this year's BFI London Film Festival, which is running for the next 12 days. They include "Testament Of Youth," a David Heyman-produced adaptation of Vera Brittain's World War II memoir starring Alicia Vikander and Kit Harington; "The Falling," set in an English girls school in 1969 rife with seething hormones and turbulent emotions -- the second narrative feature from British writer-director Carol Morley, whose quasi-documentary "Dreams Of A Life" was one of the most striking British films of 2012; and "Hockney," Randall Wright's documentary portrait of the English artist. Joining Morley as a distinctive new British female filmmaking voice is Corinna McFarlane, whose full-blooded romantic drama "The Silent Storm" will also premiere at the BFI Lff. Executive produced by Bond-maker Barbara Broccoli and starring Damian Lewis as a wrathful minister on a remote, pre-World War II Scottish island, Andrea...

Universal Pictures on board film adaptation of classic British series; cast to include Billy Nighy, Catherine Zeta Jones and Toby Jones
The cast of a long-rumoured film based on classic British comedy series Dad’s Army has been revealed.
Toby Jones, best known for roles in The Hunger Games and Harry Potter franchises, will take the leading role of Captain Mainwaring, a stiff-upper-lipped veteran who oversees the Home Guard in a small village toward the end of the Second World War.
His right-hand man, Wilson, will be played by Bill Nighy, known to international audiences for his roles in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Love Actually.
Both were previously rumoured to be attached to the project, an adaptation of a BBC comedy series than ran from 1968-77, but Catherine Zeta Jones is newly attached to the film as journalist Rose Winters.
The all-star British cast will also include Tom Courtenay as Corporal Jones, Harry Potter...

Picturehouses to operate the two cinemas and IMAX screen at the National Media Museum, Bradford
The UK’s National Media Museum and Picturehouse Cinemas have struck a commercial cinema partnership that will begin Oct 31.
The new partnership – Picturehouse at National Media Museum – will see Picturehouse taking over the operation of the three screens at the Museum: the 300-seat Pictureville; the 100-seat Cubby Broccoli Cinema; and Europe’s first IMAX screen.
On Nov 7, the opening of Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar will serve as a celebration of the National Media Museum’s role in introducing IMAX to the UK and its status as one of the few ‘true’ IMAX 70mm film cinemas in the world.
Interstellar could be one of the last studio films ever to be released in the 70mm film format.

Satellite event planned live from Hockney’s Los Angeles studio.
Picturehouse Entertainment has acquired Randall Wright’s feature documentary on artist David Hockney and will open it across the UK on Nov 28.
The launch of Hockney will be driven by an exclusive preview at cinemas around the UK, followed by a satellite Q&A with David Hockney live from his studio in Los Angeles on Nov 25.
The 77-year-old artist granted unprecedented access to his personal archive of photographs and films for the documentary for the first time.
An important contributor to the Pop Art movement of the 1960s, Hockney is considered one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century and is perhaps most famous for his series of paintings of swimming pools, including 1967 work A Bigger Splash.

A first look into what’s ahead from some of our favorite auteurs, 2013′s CineMart (held during the Int. Film Festival Rotterdam) boosts an impressive selection of projects from the likes of Argentina’s Lucrecia Martel (The Headless Woman) who’ll be lensing Zama – the adaptation of a period piece about Don Diego de Zama, a 17th-century official for the Spanish crown based in Asuncion del Paraguay, who awaits his transfer to the city of Buenos Aires. We’ve got Greece’s Yorgos Lanthimos from Dogtooth and Alps fame, who the last time we spoke to mentioned how he was looking to break into English language film territory and we think The Lobster might be that first foray. Among the other Cannes Film Festival introduced filmmakers who’ll be seeking coin in Rotterdam we have Michael Rowe (Leap Year) who brings Rest Home, Alice Rohrwacher (Corpo celeste) who tackles Le Meraviglie,...
