"The Book of S.H.E." (acronym for Success.Heal.Emerge) is a documentary film that serves as an artistic collection of Natalie Meyer's creative body paint and set designs with a focus on 10 local female entrepreneurs and community builders who identify as BIPOC in Edmonton. This film is an emotional journey of storytelling, documented through the process of the making of the book and amplified to share with others, especially young women of color, that although you may see a beautiful, perfect, strong woman on your screen, each one of these women have their own unique stories of struggle and healing that lies beneath the surface.

Christian Zyp interviews Jason Pichonsky (Film Historian) about the film THE BLOODY BROOD directed by Canadian Julian Roffman. You can find the film through Kino Lorber home video.

Two years before directing the 3-D cult favorite THE MASK (1961), Julian Roffman made his feature directorial debut with this early canuxploitation film, THE BLOODY BROOD (1959). When his brother turns up dead after eating a hamburger laced with ground glass, Cliff (Jack Betts) sets out to investigate the murder, venturing into the underground world of beatnik culture and its sinister underbelly of drugs and vice. Peter Falk makes his feature debut as Nico, sinister mentor and drug-dealer to the tuned-in kids of the beat generation. This 60th anniversary release has been newly mastered from archival 35mm elements, and showcases the moody cinematography of D.P. Eugen Schüfftan, who would two years later win an Academy Award® for his cinematography of THE HUSTLER.
