Maybe it was a sign... 5 Broken Cameras is an intensely personal documentary made by a resident of Bil'in called Emad Burnat , who started filming his life, t...

ÉCU Alumni: Interview with James McAleer 1i2x6y

1. Your film is about insects in a post-apocalyptic world – where does your inspiration come from?

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3 makes history on opening weekend! Why? 1i4v11

  What is it that makes supernatural horror the genre of choice today? This is not just any horror but a new kind, one that is less gratuitous than a ‘slasher’ leaving more to the imagination and dealing with an external fear suring the microcosmic interior world of the psychological thriller?
