The Vice Guide to Film

Vice have started airing their weekly 'Guide to Film' on IFC (Independent Film Channel). The series is an offshoot of VBS and takes a gritty look at cinema around the world.

"In The VICE Guide to Film, the co-founder of VICE Magazine, Shane Smith, explores some of the less-known film movements and national cinemas of the world. Smith gives the audience a chance to peek behind the closed doors of the film industries in countries such as Iran and North Korea, hangs out with maverick filmmakers like Gaspar Noé and throws himself in at the deep end by acting in a Mexican narco cinema film. The VICE Guide to Film not only discusses films, culture and politics, but it also seeks to give a voice to people without one. This is all done in true VICE fashion; taboo subjects and raw aesthetics make the show shocking and mind provoking, all from a refreshingly honest perspective."

I was checking IFC and if you have cable, then sign up for this bad boy! They air 7 quality films daily along with a bunch of behind-the-scenes shows for all you movie buffs. If you're a strictly no-cable kid, then check VBS for their extensive list of  TV series - free! Game on!
