Jonathan Safran Foer’s 2009 book “Eating Animals” had a major impact on conversations about the sustainability of the food industry, with jarring facts about animal cruelty and poor farming conditions that affect the environment. Natalie Portman was among the fans of Foer’s work, cited the book as the reason she decided to go vegan, and it led her to produce a documentary based on it.
Directed by Christopher Quinn, the IFC-released movie opened Friday to a number of sold-out shows with Portman in attendance for Q&As. At one of them, she revealed that the impact of the movie has motivated her to consider supporting other projects related to her dietary lifestyle.
“I’ll share with you guys my dream,” she said, noting that she had no specific projects like “Eating Animals” in the pipeline. “It would be my dream to make one of those cooking shows, but only for vegan food.

"There's inherent cruelty in that system." IFC Films has released the official trailer for indie documentary Eating Animals, the latest by doc filmmaker Christopher Dillon Quinn. This film is actually an adaptation of the very popular book also titled Eating Animals, by Jonathan Safran Foer. It's an examination of our dietary choices and the food we put in our bodies. Don't be alarmed - it's not all about giving up meat and only eating plants. I saw this doc at Idfa in Amsterdam last year, and it's dang good, much better than you're probably expecting. It presents a very honest and objective look at the debate over eating meat, but also discusses how we can sustainably raise animals and not use factories. There are talks with farmers and scientists, and it features narration by Natalie Portman. Worth a watch. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Christopher Dillon Quinn's doc Eating Animals,...

Natalie Portman wants audiences to consider a simple question: Where do our eggs, dairy, and meat come from?
In the new trailer for Eating Animals, a documentary Portman produced, director Christopher Dillon Quinn (2006's God Grew Tired of Us) cobbles together interviews with local farmers about the rise of the factory industry and its impact on animals. The only solution, the film argues, is to return to a more localized agricultural food system.
"There's no way you can love an animal that has been genetically engineered to die in six weeks," one interviewee says.

“Eating Animals” is not a preachy, militant vegan documentary, but rather an affectionate and thoughtful examination of traditions that helped build this country in the early days: actual farms with actual farmers raising livestock naturally, rather than pumping antibiotic after antibiotic into our food production system as we barrel toward superbugs we can’t control. Produced and narrated by notable vegan Natalie Portman and directed by Christopher Dillon Quinn from novelist Jonathan Safran Foer’s memoir, “Eating Animals” may be the most important documentary that screened this year at the Telluride Film Festival, though it could be hard to get audiences across.

The Telluride Film Festival has announced its 2017 lineup. As usual, the exclusive Colorado gathering features a range of buzzy fall season movies, including many films also premiering in Venice and Toronto as well as others resurfacing from earlier in the year, just in time for awards season. Filmmakers in this year’s program range from Alexander Payne to Angelina Jolie. The festival will also honor cinematographer Ed Lachman, actor Christian Bale, and screen a new cut of Francis Ford Coppola’s 1984 Harlem musical “The Cotton Club.”
One of the bigger films to make the cut in this year’s lineup should take no one by surprise: “Downsizing” (12/22, Paramount), Payne’s long-gestating near-future workplace satire starring Matt Damon, will screen at the festival where Payne has been a regular for years (both as a filmmaker and audience member). The movie opened the Venice Film Festival earlier this week, and was followed...

It’s been a long decade plus wait since Christopher Dillon Quinn‘s Sundance Grand Jury Prize/Audience Award winning God Grew Tired of Us (2006) disarmed auds, and with the 45th future Us president unable to root climate change with overwhelming consensus scientific claims, Jonathan Safran Foer’s 2009 memoir to film treatment couldn’t come at a more critical time.

Frank
Director: Lenny Abrahamson
Writers: Jon Ronson and Peter Straughan
Producers: Ed Guiney, David Barron, Stevie Lee
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Cast: Michael Fassbender, Domhnall Gleeson, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Scoot McNairy
Judging by the mixed response (with some critics calling this out as the best of the fest) it received at Sundance, Irish helmer Lenny Abrahamson’s offbeat comedy/fourth film will have a healthy festival future and as one critic told me, despite being an oddity can self-market itself. Look for Frank to outpace his first trio of films Garage, Adam & Paul and What Richard Did combined.
Gist: Jon, a young wanna-be musician, discovers he’s bitten off more than he can chew when he joins an eccentric pop band led by the mysterious and enigmatic Frank.
Release Date: This received its world premiere debut at the Sundance film festival and should be picked up for distribution fairly soon.

Among the newbie additions to the extended family of collaborators and conspirators related to the Duplass Bros., J. Davis’ previous cred was as the Kevin – the Jay Duplass directed short docu project. Davis and Duplass re-team on a funny bone project that could easily target next year’s Sundance-sxsw festivals as it has the girth of a film that was helped out with kickstarter coin and without much else (see co-star Bass Ackwards‘ creator Linas Phillips speak from the heart). on paper, the sharply titled Manson Family Vacation is the sort of perfect trifecta indie comedy as it includes: a. modes of transportation, b. confused souls in unique backdrops and c. family bonding.

PARK CITY -- Sundance Film Festival jurors and audience members were of the same minds when it came time to select the festival's top awards. Wash Westmoreland and Richard Glatzer's coming-of-age drama Quinceanera was honored with both the Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award. And in the documentary category, Christopher Quinn's Sudanese refugee saga God Grew Tired of Us also nabbed both the Documentary Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award. "It's never happened before," festival director Geoffrey Gilmore observed of the two sets of dual awards, which were announced Saturday night at the fest's awards ceremonies. "It's happend in one category, but never in both. Certainly, it says something about the nature of the films. Films with popular votes tend to work on an emotional level. Films that are given awards by juries tend to work on a critical and aesthetic level. The fact that it's both is to the films' credit." The hard-hitting autobiographical drama A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints came out on top in two important categories, with Dito Montiel garnering a Dramatic Directing Award for his first feature. The film also landed a Special Jury Prize for Best Ensemble Performance, with Robert Downey, Jr., Shia La Boeuf, Rosario Dawson, Chazz Palminteri, Dianne Wiest and Channing Tatum in the leading roles.
