Under The Influence

★ 0.0

Overview

Made for a film school assignment that required a real documentary, the filmmakers instead created a fake documentary disguised as nonfiction, successfully fooling their professor. The film takes place over the course of a drunken night, in which an alcoholic man and his drinking companion speak with the filmmakers about addiction, drifting between painful memories, absurd stories, humor, and contradictions, until the line between confession and performance begins to disappear.

Featuring 3 of People® Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive winners, The Virgincord Documentary is truly one for the ages. Following a group of high school friends and their adventures both in and outside of a Discord server they created, the seasons—much like a television show—just seem to fly by. As they recount the experiences they've led as well as satirize them, suddenly, the documentary they sought to film doesn't just seem like a documentary anymore.

Nov 1, 2024

At once a journey and a reckoning, this film follows 19 year old Koen's ascent of Mount Rinjani—often regarded as Indonesia’s toughest summit. What begins as a test of endurance gradually transforms into something more intimate: a dialogue between self and nature. Shot as a reflective video diary, the film holds not just the view from the summit, but the moments of insight and introspection discovered along the way.

Bontoc Eulogy

Mar 31, 1995

Marlon E. Fuentes' Bontoc Eulogy is a haunting, personal exploration into the filmmaker's complex relationship with his Filipino heritage as explored through the almost unbelievable story of the 1,100 Filipino tribal natives brought to the U.S. to be a "living exhibit" at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. For those who associate the famous fair with Judy Garland, clanging trolleys, and creampuff victoriana, Bontoc Eulogy offers a disturbing look at the cultural arrogance that went hand-in-hand with the Fair's glorification of progress. The Fair was the site of the world's largest ever "ethnological display rack," in which hundreds of so-called primitive and savage men and women from all over the globe were exhibited in contrast to the achievements of Western civilization.
