The 3D team, which shot Avatar, set out on location to Everest for eight weeks, to recreate the epic tale of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay’s conquest of Mt. Everest in 1953. The new footage has been merged with film and photographs of the 1953 expedition taken by Lowe and cleaned up, and retro-fitted into 3D – in the exact same way James Cameron converted his film Titanic. The result in merging the footage is seamless. The film is directed by Canadian-born filmmaker Leanne Pooley, who has directed over twenty features, including the documentaries Haunting Douglas, The Promise, Try Revolution, and Shackleton’s Captain. Her documentary The Topp Twins – Untouchable Girls won the People’s Choice Documentary Award at the Festival. Beyond The Edge will have its first screening at Tiff on Friday, September 6th and will be seeking distribution. Watch the first trailer below.

Good morning, Brewbies! Let's kick of Monday with some bad news/good news. The bad news: Paige McCullers will not be gracing us with her presence during tomorrow night's Pretty Little Liars season three finale. The good news: Season four started filming late last week, and Lindsey Shaw tweeted from set Friday night with a Paily update:

Tegan and Sara co-hosted the the mtvU Woodie Awards over the weekend, where they also performed "Closer" to the hyped up SXSW crowd. I'm psyched beyond measure at the revolutionary way things are changing for gay people these days, but it still blows my mind a...

Why does it take really cool things forever to be on U.S. radars? We've certainly been missing the boat by not recognizing the amazing comedic and musical genius of lesbian New Zealanders the Topp Twins. Hopefully the release of their new documentary, Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls will remedy that as it tours the states at upcoming festivals including The Newfest in NYC on June 10, the Provincetown Film Festival in Massachusetts on the 17 and 18, and the Frameline San Francisco International Lgbt Film Festival on the 20.
The dynamic duo of Jools and Lynda are also taking their act on the U.S. open road to Northampton on June 12 and San Francisco on the 20. A mix of sketch comedy, yodeling and folk music the Topp Twins have been beloved in their home country for decades as well as outspoken leaders in gay rights. Even though they have never shied away from their stances nor their personal sexualities,...

The Topp Twins are more than just New Zealand's most famous yodeling, protesting, joke-cracking lesbian-sister musical export. They're now the subjects of their own oddly fascinating documentary at the Toronto Film Festival. Appropriately enough titled The Topp Twins, director Leanne Pooley's doc profiles the irrepressible Lynda and Jools Topp from their bucolic Kiwi upbringings to their development of a populist blend of folk, protest and comic songwriting that made them worldwide cult sensations. Or maybe "cult" is misrepresenting things -- especially when their immensely popular street performances require their own laws on the books in Auckland.
