Exclusive: A documentary about President Barack and Mrs. Michelle Obama’s portraits commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery is being drawn up by Smithsonian Channel.
The Paramount Global-owned cabler is launching Picturing the Obamas on September 10 – three days after the unveiling of the White House portraits of the Obamas.
The doc will see curators, journalists, and art critics discuss the ways that the pair’s portraits disrupted traditional presidential portraiture and spurred museums to reach new audiences.
The portraits were unveiled in 2018, captivating the world, becoming an instant social media sensation and bringing record numbers to the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. The Obamas’ portraits were created by two Black artists, Kehinde Wiley and Amy Sherald, a first for presidential portraits commissioned for the museum’s collection.
They doubled annual attendance at the National Portrait Gallery and they went on a national tour last year.

Talk about delaying gratification. When viewers see the words ‘serial killer’ on their TV guide, they expect to see killings. A series of them. By holding John Christie’s version of events back until next week’s final episode, Rillington Place sets itself apart from its more gratuitously violent peers and announces that it’s telling a different kind of story. By so doing, it risks testing its audience’s patience.
Episode one’s careful portrait of Ethel Christie, a woman who gave in ineluctably to her quietly lethal husband, worked thanks to Tim Roth and Samantha Morton’s performances,...

All their lives, twins Marisol and Marisa Serrato, 17, were inseparable. Together they attended Norte Vista High School in Riverside, Calif., played guitar, sang at their church, even shared mattresses on their bedroom floor.

January 17th, 2012: Undocumented
Good intentions lead to a living nightmare when student filmmakers trying to document the struggle of illegal immigrants become the targets of a dangerous radical group in Undocumented, a startling debut feature coming to DVD from IFC Films.
There are estimates that more than a million people attempt to cross illegally from Mexico to the United States every year – some succeed, some don’t. In his riveting debut as writer-director, Chris Peckover reveals the horror faced by one unlucky group of border crossers. In this suspense-filled drama, an aspiring documentary director Travis (Scott Mechlowicz, Mean Creek, EuroTrip) and his crew set...

NEW YORK - IFC Entertainment has picked up all North American rights to Terry Kinney's quirky Sundance comedy Diminished Capacity starring Matthew Broderick, Alan Alda, Virginia Madsen and Dylan Baker.
The Plum Pictures feature, which premiered Jan. 21 at the Park City fest, stars Broderick as a Chicago newspaper editor who suffers a concussion and loses his memory. He takes a break to visit his senile uncle (Alda) in Missouri, and the pair end up on a road trip with his high school girlfriend (Madsen).
Celine Rattray, Galt Niederhoffer and Daniela Tapling Lundberg of Plum Pictures produced the film with Tim Evans.
Capacity was one of several Sundance films whose big-name stars held the promise of a fast sale for a high price. Most of them ended up in a slow-burn sales process, or at smaller distributors than expected.
IFC Films will release Capacity simultaneously in theaters and via video-on demand under its day-and-date First Take banner
IFC's Arianna Bocco negotiated the sale with Cinetic, which repped the filmmakers.
