A streaming service called Thunderflix has just launched, promising heavy metal content for the appropriate price of $6.66 a month.
“Imagine a Netflix, but all metal,” remarked creator Samuel Douek, who conceived the idea for the streaming platform out of the “inability to find high-quality, heavy metal to entertain himself as a lifelong music fan.”
The service is available now at the aforementioned monthly price or yearly ($66.60) and grants streaming access to documentaries, films, interviews, live concerts, and behind-the-scenes footage via compatible devices.
According to the press release, the Thunderflix library already includes content featuring some of metal and hard rock’s biggest names including Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper, Rage Against the Machine, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, and more. Likewise, cult black metal act Watain are also mentioned, hinting that the service also intends to cater to the underground.

In 2016, Esteban Arango enrolled in Hola Mexico Film Festival’s mentorship program, Tomorrow’s Filmmakers Today, with a short film — a coming-of-ager about two brothers from Colombia who love metal music and feel disillusioned by the American dream. Arango and his co-writer, Erick Castrillon, needed guidance on adapting the piece into a full-length project, and the pair found that support in the program. “Blast Beat” had its premiere at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival and is available on Hulu. Now, Arango returns to Hola Mexico (which takes place in Los Angeles through Sept. 25) for a special screening of the film on Sept. 23.
“I always thought that the movies that Hollywood put out about Latino experience were victimizing. We were always portrayed in negative ways,” says Arango, who is based in L.A. “So the most positive thing that came from [Tomorrow’s Filmmakers Today] has been creating that community of filmmakers sharing this journey with you.

“Aware: Glimpses Of Consciousness” will have its U.S. Theatrical Release Starting In Los Angeles On Friday, September 24 (Laemmle Theaters) And New York On Friday, October 8 (Cinema Village).
Directors Frauke Sandig and Eric Black follow scientists delving into the greatest of mysteries, having to confront the ‘Big Questions’. It presents some of the world’s most brilliant researchers approaching consciousness – each from radically different perspectives, including Roland Griffiths, the renowned Johns Hopkins University psychedelics researcher, plant biologist Monica Gagliano, Christof Koch, Chief Scientist of the Allen Institute for Brain Science, and the famed Tibetan Buddhist monks, Matthieu Ricard and Mingyur Rinpoche.
The film opens as a science film but emerges well beyond the explicable, ultimately leading one on a voyage upon the ocean of consciousness, a contemplative, sensual, cinematographic meditation. The networks of consciousness are reflected in ‘grand’ imagery revealing the vast interconnectedness of Nature – from the smallest organisms, to...

Galantis, David Guetta, and Little Mix have teamed up for a new song, “Heartbreak Anthem.” The accompanying video features the UK group starring in a theater production.
The Samuel Douek-directed video opens as an orchestra warms up before showtime. The stage production is called Winged Fatales, which features “angelic beings fallen from another world.” Little Mix — Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards, and Jade Thirlwall (Jesy Nelson departed the group last December) — appear in winged costumes. Despite the song’s title, the track is about moving on amicably when a relationship doesn’t work out.

Exclusive: The 12th annual edition of the largest Mexican film festival outside of Mexico, Hola México Film Festival (September 11-20), will take place virtually and exclusively on Lionsgate and Hemisphere’s Spanish-language streaming platform Pantaya.
The festival will feature 20 movies, kicking off with Chicuarotes, directed and produced by Gael Garcia Bernal. The film, which played at Cannes and Toronto last year, centers on a pair of young boys from poor backgrounds who perform clown acts on public transportation to get by. The story takes a turn when the young boys begin to rob passengers.
The program will include contemporary features, documentaries, genre fare and family movies, and will include Q&a’s, ‘virtual red carpets’, an awards ceremony and will try to mirror the physical festival in an online way as much as possible.
