Slayer have been announced as headliners for the 2025 Louder Than Life festival, set for September 18th through the 21st in Louisville, Kentucky.

Fest organizers wasted no time announcing the return of Slayer after the thrash legends’ 2024 appearance at the fest was washed out by Hurricane Helene. While the other three days of the 2024 edition did take place last month, Slayer were among the acts that didn’t perform due to the cancellation of Day 2.

But in the new three-part Hulu docuseries “Little Miss Innocent: Passion. Poison. Prison.,” Conley attempts to explain why she was wrongfully sent to prison for the 2015 killing.

ABC News Studios is behind the series, which launches Friday, Sept. 20 on Hulu. The series includes the first interview with Conley since her sentencing.

In speaking out for the first time, Conley tells the doc that she is innocent, and details what she describes as a toxic relationship with Adam. She also offers her theories on who killed Yoder and why.

It’s a bad time to be Eli Roth.

A miscalculation of near-mythic proportions, “Borderlands” has a whopping six percent on Rotten Tomatoes heading into its opening weekend. Those bad reviews (IndieWire gave it a “C-“) are the least of the “Hostel” filmmaker’s problems, as Lionsgate’s misguided video game adaptation has inspired assessments of not only the director’s filmography but also whether his impact on pop culture has been at all valuable.

This ranking can’t account for all of that. If you’re a fan of the types of genre films that Roth makes, read on. If you’re not, do not pass go, do not collect $200, and enjoy the “Borderlands” dogpile — a massive multiplayer online affair now available free of charge.

Last year, Roth’s meaty and murderous “Thanksgiving” did well for the provocateur. The seasonal holiday slasher, starring Nell Verlaque, Patrick Dempsey, and Addison Rae among others,...

Elaine Epstein says that winning Hot Docs Forum’s top First Look prize of Can $20,000 cash for her film “Arrest the Midwife” is a “game changer.”

The project, which has been on a close to year-long hiatus, will now finally be able to resume due to the award.

“The last money we raised was 10 months ago,” Epstein said. “So it’s been a while. We raised money and then things stopped.”

“Arrest the Midwife” was one of 20 projects presented to key funders and decision-makers as well as filmmakers, producers and other observers at the 25th edition of the two-day Forum pitch event.

Produced through Epstein’s Underdog Films (U.S.), with producer Robin Hessman and executive producer Ruth Ann Harnisch, the doc chronicles the arrest of three midwives serving Amish and Mennonite communities. When a Mennonite baby died after being attended to by a homebirth midwife, an unprecedented legal drama ensued.

Lyrically, the song is one of defiance, with lines like, “Don’t let the dogs of war/ Come knocking at your door/ As we’re crawling ‘cross the floor/ They’ll make your skin crawl/ They’ll make the stars fall/ Do they matter after all.”

The makers of National Geographic’s The Territory are celebrating their win at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards for Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking, one of the most prestigious awards in nonfiction.

The prize, voted on by a special jury, was shared by director-producer Alex Pritz, producers Darren Aronofsky, Sigrid Dyekjær, Will N. Miller, Gabriel Uchida, and Lizzie Gillett, and executive producer Txai Suruí. Their film centers on the Indigenous Uru-eu-wau-wau people, who face constant assault as they try to protect their territory within Brazil’s Amazon rainforest from invasion by outsiders. As Deadline previously wrote about the film, those invaders are “engaged in burning down great swaths of the rainforest for mining, logging, clearing land for cattle and homesteading.”

The film also underscores what’s at stake with each acre of Brazilian rainforest that goes up in smoke — it is the ecological health of the Earth that hangs in the balance.

It’s bad enough that inflation is driving up grocery costs these days, and now customers have to deal with supermarkets playing “angry music” from that “death metal” band Tool. At least that’s the case involving a “middle-aged woman” at a Whole Foods market.

For only the second time in the 19-year existence of the Best Documentary Filmmaking Emmy category, HBO (which has clinched the gold 10 times) doesn’t have a horse in the race. The same is true of Netflix, which achieved its 2018 victory for “Strong Island” in HBO’s absence. As a result, there is a great deal of pressure on two of the 2023 entries: “The Accused: Damned or Devoted?,” which could bring PBS its second consecutive and sixth overall filmmaking win, and “The Territory,” which would be the third National Geographic property to prevail here.

The documentary filmmaking award differs from most other Emmys in that it is juried, meaning that after each entry is exclusively reviewed by members of the TV academy’s documentary peer group, it must obtain unanimous support from them in order to officially be deemed worthy of a win. This also means that the four programs...

Pinkshift have announced their new EP, suraksha, out October 13th via Hopeless Records. In anticipation, they’ve also shared the latest single, “home.”

As the CoSign alums explained in a statement, the new project was inspired by their heritage. “I grew up listening to Bollywood and Indian classical music would round out the songs perfectly,” said vocalist Ashrita Kumar. “Going into the studio, the only thing on my mind was my family, and making these songs was unique because in my head I was making it for them.”

The EP’s title speaks to the same inspiration: surakṣā (or सुरक्षा) is a Hindi word borrowed from Sanskrit meaning protection or security. See the artwork and tracklist for suraksha below; pre-orders are ongoing.

Featuring distorted guitar riffs, “home” speaks to the idea of finding comfort with chosen family as Kumar sings, “You’ll never be alone again/ I’ll...

The growing amount of homeless, independently made documentaries has made film festivals like Hot Docs, arguably more important than ever before. Many docus that premiered at Sundance 2023 but have yet to find distribution are part of the Toronto-based documentary festival’s lineup, which in turn allows those titles to stay on buyers’ radars.

But corporate consolidation, along with streamers’ current mandate for nonfiction content that fits into one of three boxes – celebrity, true crime, or sports – means that many docu filmmakers will eventually have to turn to non-traditional distribution to get their films seen outside the fest circuit.

Tracy Droz Tragos’ docu “Plan C” follows a grassroots organization fighting to expand access to abortion pills across the United States. The timely film premiered at Sundance in January, but despite good reviews, Tragos hasn’t found distribution for “Plan C.”
