Set for a PBS world premiere on September 18, Rodrigo Dorfman’s new documentary Bulls and Sants is a richly captured portrait of a migrant family’s life in the wake of the Great Latino Migration to the American South. A co-production with Latino Public Broadcasting, the film captures an undocumented family living in rural North Carolina and their unrelenting quest to return to their homeland of Michoacán, Mexico. Ahead of the premiere, we’re pleased to exclusively premiere the first trailer.
“A tale of love, tradition, and the desire to return home, the film documents reverse migration through the everyday lives of an undocumented family who are part of the thriving rural Latinx migrant community in the rural south,” the official synopsis reads.
Bulls and Saints director Rodrigo Dorfman said, “Twenty years ago when I decided to settle in the United States, I thought I had lost Latin America forever,...

Caught up as we might be in all the hoopla over the Cannes lineup, we shouldn't overlook several other festivals and events either already underway or opening today.
The Films of Bette Gordon is a five-program series on at New York's Anthology Film Archives through Sunday. "The series includes two of Gordon's landmark works, Variety (1984 [image above]) and The United States of America (1975)," notes Amy Taubin for Artforum. "The latter was co-directed by James Benning, Gordon's boyfriend at the time. It plays on Program 1, preceded by two other Gordon/Benning collaborations, Michigan Avenue (1973) and i-94 (1974), and followed by three of Gordon's solo turns, Still Life (1972), An Erotic Film (1975), and An Algorithm (1977). All six films are being shown in new prints, courtesy of Anthology's preservations program. All were made during the 'structuralist' period of American avant-garde filmmaking, and with the exception of The United States of America, all involve elaborate layering and/or...

Hollywoodnews.com: Buck Brannaman, better known in equestrian circles as the horse whisperer, continued to work his magic over crowds.
“Buck,” Cindy Meehl’s documentary on Brannaman’s unique career, took home the Audience Award at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, months after it claimed the same prize at the Sundance Film Festival.
It’s hard to resist Brannaman’s charms. His gift isn’t with horses – though he knows how to soothe those sometimes-savage beasts. Instead, Buck clicks with owners, explaining how a horse acts as a mirror into its rider’s soul (and some cowboys sure don’t like what they see). “Buck” certainly is a crowd-pleaser, and I can see why audiences at Full Frame were wooed.
But “Buck” wasn’t the only winner of the weekend. We’ve got the complete list of winners, announced Sunday in Durham, N.C., below:...
