We might look back to 2015’s 10 film line-up as a true vintage year for the Next section. With the likes of Rick Alverson’s Entertainment, Sebastián Silva’s Nasty Baby, Matt Sobel’s Take Me to the River, Sean Baker’s Tangerine and section winner Josh Mond’s James White, we’d be hard pressed to say that this year’s 10 selected film selection is a better crop, but so far with names such as Tim Sutton and his super secretive third film (Dark Night – see pic above), video helmer we adore in Nicolas Pesce’s debut (The Eyes of My Mother), short film Yearbook fest winner Bernardo Britto’s first (Jacqueline Argentine), big Slamdance home run hitter with The Dirties’ Matt Johnson (Operation Avalanche) and the Venice to Park City bound The Fits from Anna Rose Holmer are all films we eagerly await. Here is the 10 section of what the fest calls “pure,...

Back in 2010, Shadowlocked ran a piece entitled The lost film that accompanied The Empire Strikes Back. It was an excerpt from an in-depth with the short film's writer/director/producer Roger Christian, conducted by our Founding Editor Martin Anderson, and discussing the interesting behind-the-scenes story of the for-a-long-time-lost-but-not-forgotten fantasy short film Black Angel.
Not to be confused with James Cameron's TV series Dark Angel, or Joss Whedon's TV series Angel, Roger Christian's 25-minute short film Black Angel preceded Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back in 1980, before the print was destroyed and the film thought lost to the world. In recent years, however, another print has been discovered, and now it's been made available for free on YouTube until the end of May.
The Black Angel team have teased “another exciting announcement coming on 2nd June.”

In the latest of the Shadowlocked Podcasts, we chat with George Lucas's official Star Wars chronicler, writer Jonathan Rinzler, who joined Lucasfilm's book division in 2001 and persuaded his way into re-envisioning the Star Wars 'Making Of' books as full-fledged production sagas - operatic stories in their own right, as seen in the likes of 'The Making Of Star Wars' (2007) and 'The Making Of The Empire Strikes Back' (2010).
Site editors Gabriel Ruzin and Martin Anderson chat with Jonathan about 'the best classified ad in the world'; the joys and travails of having unimpeded access to the Lucasfilm archives; which characters were(and weren't) nearly killed at the story stage of Return Of The Jedi; emerging and forthcoming books such as Darth Vader and Son...
...Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia (Fall 2012)...
...and then after taking a short break on (let's face it) an inevitable topic.

Earlier today, the BBC released the first trailer for Doctor Who Season 7. Though the show doesn't return to our screens until sometime in the Autumn of 2012, this cowboy-infested trailer, like all those before it, spectacularly, infuriatingly, makes us wish it was tomorrow. Perhaps it's all part of the Beeb's cunning strategy to remind us just how slowly time can go without a Tardis, thus making the escapist, wish-fulfilment nature of the show all the more appealing.
At any rate, it's a terrifically edited trailer, showcasing the broad vistas of the American Old West, perhaps building on Doctor Who's burgeoning popularity in the States, following on from Season 6's largely Us-set opening two-parter.

Shadowlocked's third podcast finds London-based site editor Martin Anderson and regular NYC contributor Aaron Knier taking a look at the schism between attitudes to nudity in American and European cinema.
In the piece, Aaron notes the huge disparity between early 1980s MPAA PG standards and modern standards, while Martin wonders whether an endomorphic body shape cam kill or hinder the career of a good actress, as Aaron recalls David Fincher's reluctant decision to not cast her in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo due to her 'distracting' physiognomy.
Among the arguments against a renewed laxity in regard to screen nudity is the prospect of several years of American acclimatisation to a 'phenomenon' which European audiences shrug off as no distraction to the narrative - and the difference that the internet has made as regards actors' willingness to disrobe for the cameras. Both female and male nudity are discussed, and...
