Published

on

Jovanka Vuckovic’s debut short film The Captured Bird will make its world premiere at the 2012 Worldwide Short Film Festival on June 9th in Toronto, Canada. The highly anticipated short, about a little girl who is drawn to a mysterious mansion where she witnesses the birth of five horrifying apparitions, is Executive Produced by Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth) and produced by Jason Lapeyre, writer/director of I Declare War (Best Picture/Screenplay, ActionFest 2012).

The dark fable, which del Toro describes as “lyrical and brutal” and “filled with beauty” is the culmination of two years of collaboration with some of the top talents in the genre world including cinematographer Karim Hussain (Antiviral, Hobo With A Shotgun), editor Douglas Buck (The Theatre Bizarre, Sisters), Oscar-nominated special effects company Spectral Motion (Looper, X-Men: First Class), matte painter Deak Ferrand (Twilight, Lord of the Rings), Oscar-nominated production designer and frequent Terry Gilliam collaborator Anastasia Masaro (The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, Tideland) and animatronic special effects designer Paul Jones (The Thing, Silent Hill).

The CFC Worldwide Short Film Festival (WSFF) is the premiere venue for the exhibition and promotion of short film in North America and is one of only three festivals in Canada accredited by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Having grown up in Toronto and previously attended this festival as a fan, it’s an absolute honour to be attending as a filmmaker with my first short,” says Vuckovic, who was present at the festival’s media launch earlier today.

SCREAMBOX Investigates UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Several Documentaries Streaming Right Now!

Published

on

As someone who is obsessed with UFOS (or more recently known as UAPs) and the concept of extraterrestrials, I love a good documentary. Sightings have been on the rise since the 1940s, with the atomic bomb seemingly acting as a catalyst for new visitors. But what are these UFOs/UAPs? Is there an explanation or are they simply beyond our explanation? Why are they here? Who are they? How much do our governments know? The questions are endless and so are the documentaries that attempt to uncover the secrets behind decades of sightings and alleged confrontations.

Whether you’re a seasoned viewer or new to the rabbit hole, there’s always a handful of interesting documentaries to get your neurons firing and leave you with sleepless nights. SCREAMBOX is investigating with the addition of several docs, all streaming now on the Bloody Disgusting-powered service. Here’s the breakdown:

Aliens (2021): Beam into this unidentified streaming documentary for a glimpse into Extraterrestrial life. Aliens are hypothetical life forms that may occur outside Earth or that did not originate on Earth.

Aliens Uncovered: Origins (2021): Before Area 51, hidden deep in the desert, the military discovered a hidden gem that helped them create Project Bluebook.

Aliens Uncovered: ET or Man-Made (2022): The crash of Roswell wasn’t meant for New Mexico. In 1947, a neighboring state had 3 major sightings that were swept under the rug.

Roswell (2021): This high-flying documentary examines the July 1947 crash of a United States Army Air Forces balloon at a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico. Theories claim the crash was actually that of a flying saucer, but what is the truth?
