This is one film that I'm really curious about and hope to see sooner than later. Despite S&A reader reactions to it when I first profiled the film (mostly negative if I recall correctly), I'm intrigued by the subject matter, and the fact that reactions from from those I know who have seen it have been quite polarizing makes it even more enticing. I love it when a film divides passionate audiences.

Yet another reason to attend Sundance 2012, if already announced lineup of films didn't push you over the fence... another honor for Julie Dash's seminal film; plus she's expected to be there in person to introduce it and participate in a discussion afterward.

Scrubbing through the list of titles that came with this morning's announcement of the Slamdance 2012 lineup as promised, I came across this... a feature film titled Welcome To Pine Hill, made in collaboration with the Brooklyn Filmmakers Collective, a group which writer/director Keith Miller (a name I wasn't familiar with before today) belongs.
