Footcandle Films
Do you enjoy listening to people talk about films? What about those films that may not show up at the local multiplex but are instead showing at the smaller specialty theater across town? Then ”Footcandle Films” may be the show for you. Each month, the hosts discuss and review one ”smaller” film in-depth, discuss upcoming film news, and give recommendations on films that you may not be aware of, ones that you haven’t remembered in a while, or ones that are worth your time checking out. And all the while, the conversation never gets too ”high-brow” or pretentious. Just two guys who enjoy talking about movies. Your Hosts: Alan Jackson and Chris Frye, founders of the Footcandle Film Society.

Joaquin Phoenix is back - slurring his speech and exhibiting troubling behavior. This time it is not in a faux documentary format but as Freddie Quell in Paul Thomas Anderson's latest film "The Master".

Quirky, but loveable characters . . . clever usage of music during a slow motion sequence . . . dramatic tracking shots. No – the fellows are not talking about the latest "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" sequel. As you’ve probably deduced they are diving into the world of Wes Anderson with a discussion of his most recent effort "Moonrise Kingdom." Just for good measure they also throw in some movie news and recommendations for films you might want to catch up on.
Running Time: 57 minutes
