If there’s one thing Yance Ford wants the audience to take away from his deeply personal documentary, “Strong Island,” it’s that black lives are in danger in America. His film, which opened the International Documentary Association’s 2017 Documentary Screening series on Wednesday night, tells the story of his unarmed brother’s murder 25 years ago, the lack of prosecution of his killer, and the destructive effect it had on his family in the years following.
In a Q&A following “Strong Island’s” Ida screening, Ford addressed the reaction he hopes audiences will have when they watch his film.
“I hope that audiences understand that there is a precariousness to black lives in this country that we need to address, that there has always been a precariousness to black lives in this country that we need to address,” he said. “In fact, our country is built on the precariousness of black lives,...

With just six months to go until the opening of the 2018 Sundance Film Festival (unbelievable, but true), Sundance Institute has today announced the creation of a standalone Episodic section, further expanding television’s reach into the festival world.
In previous years, Sundance has offered limited episodic and television offerings, one that just last year played home to series like “I Love Dick,” “Downward Dog,” and “Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On,” and boasts other major titles like “O.J.: Made in America,” “Transparent,” and “Top of the Lake” as additional alumni.
Read MoreIs It Television? The Rise of Episodic Storytelling
Yet this announcement marks a major sea change in the way Sundance approaches episodic entries. Last year’s episodic screenings were unfurled across a wide spectrum of sections, from the vaguely defined “Special Events” section to their forward-thinking Independent Pilot Showcase. 2o18 will play home to the newly created “Indie Episodic” section.

Last Year’s Winner: “Making a Murderer”
Still Eligible: No.
Hot Streak: “American Masters” has been nominated 10 years in a row and won five times.
Fun Fact: Outside of “American Masters,” only one other program has been nominated more than once: “American Experience.”
It’s been 11 years since the TV Academy honored “Planet Earth” with its top nonfiction honor (plus three more awards), but we doubt they’ve cooled on the gorgeous, addictive BBC series. So we’re expected the sequel, “Planet Earth II,” to do well come nomination day. But it’s not the only contender with big ambitions at the Emmys. “American Masters” is the most dominant series in the history of this category, and Netflix has a number of offerings that could make a run.
“The Keepers” is the would-be successor to “Making a Murderer,” which won last year. The docu-series has been building comparatively moderate buzz,...

As you might have expected, the porn industry isn’t especially pleased with Netflix’s new series “Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On.” The co-creators have responded to the criticism they’ve received, with Jill Bauer and Ronna Gradus telling Variety that “the narrative has kind of become hijacked, that we exposed sex workers and that we put them in danger by telling the world that they were sex workers, when in fact we never ever did that.”

Rashida Jones claims women are turned on by "everything".
The 41-year-old actress - who is best known for playing Ann Perkins on 'Parks and Recreation' - has opened up about female sexual desires, insisting they can be markedly different from their male counterparts.
She explained: "Women are turned on by everything! Animal sex, fantasies, gay sex, orgies, everything.
"We're so complex. So let us be complex and be turned on by all types of different things, not just male fantasies."
Rashida also revealed she has recently become more selective about the adult content she watches.
The actress told Refinery29: "I'm getting pickier with my porn, like I am with my food.
"I want to know how it was made, I want to know that everybody's having a good time, and I want to know that the orgasms are real."

2017-04-24T05:03:45-07:00Is Feminist Porn a Thing?For many, the term “feminist porn” may seem like an oxymoron. However, for Holly Randall and Erika Lust, it’s a very real passion as well as a sub-industry that’s disappearing. It’s this world of reclaimed sexuality that Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On focuses on in its first episode, the cheekily titled “Women on Top.” Turned On is the series adaptation of another Netflix documentary, Hot Girls Wanted. Directed by Jill Bauer and Ronna Gradus and executive produced by Rashida Jones, the original documentary explores the dark corners and disturbing trends of the amateur porn industry. It’s a simultaneously eye-opening and compassionate look into the horrors of one of the world’s most profitable but least discussed jobs. Read the rest of this article at Decider. Rashida Jones is best known for her role in the sitcom Parks and Recreation.

Immediate Reaction:
Oh, Amy. After warning Selina against Andrew’s toxic charms, Buddy Calhoun’s campaign manager and girlfriend became the “Lobotomy Barbie” she cautioned her old boss about, standing by her man as he apologized for making an ass of himself — and a joke of their sex life in the process. Both women got screwed by their chosen men, and not in a way they enjoy.
But the fuck-over-y (ovary?) didn’t end there. Selina was spurned by her fellow ex-presidents (all male) at the opening of President Hughes’ library. She, in turn, dismissed the idea of a female architect, telling Gary, “We’re not redoing a kitchen here,” while Marjorie and Catherine lamented the fact they need a man to have a baby. And of course, Selina ended up getting doubly boned by Andrew, first upon learning of his betrayal and then by the woman he cheated with,...

Bill Nye is a man who elicits a lot of strong emotions from the world around him — good and bad. An entire generation of science nerds grew up loving him, including the correspondents who contribute to “Bill Nye Saves the World,” Netflix’s new effort to make science education fun for the masses — while also returning television’s most famous bow tie to our screens.

President Underwood and his First Lady have a mission, and woe to those who get in their way.
When last we left “House of Cards,” Frank (Kevin Spacey) and Claire (Robin Wright) were by each other’s side in their mission to combat terrorism, specifically the radical Islamist group known as the Islamic Caliphate Organization (Ico), which had broadcast an execution of a hostage.

“That’s right. We don’t submit to terror. We make the terror,” Frank said with his disturbingly unwavering yet charismatic gaze into the camera.
Of course, this war on terror is a noisy, splashy diversion from an incriminating article that laid out the president’s corruption. How successful they are remains to be seen, but we have a feeling that no matter what, they’ll be fine in Season 5. In an interview with EW,...

Netflix's new series Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On opens with legendary female porn director, Suze Randall, now silver-haired at 70 years-old, tackling a question that has divided feminists for decades: can pornography be female friendly? Can the women be treated well? Are they sexually empowered?
Producers Rashida Jones, Jill Bauer and Ronna Gradus spend the series – which is a follow-up to their 2015 documentary about amateur pornography in Florida, called Hot Girls Wanted – trying to answer those questions. Although many viewers found the documentary captured an accurate slice of a very specific experience,...

We’ve seen it a bunch of times before: A film acquired by Netflix performs well, and the streaming service commissions a series based vaguely on the concept. “Jiro Dreams of Sushi” led to David Gelb heading up “Chef’s Table.” “Wet Hot American Summer” begat “First Day of Camp.” And the 2015 documentary “Hot Girls Wanted” now brings us “Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On.”
Created by Ronna Gradus, Jill Bauer, and Rashida Jones, this documentary series is (despite the title) not all that explicit. It is, however, deeply embedded in the idea that human beings like to have sex, and thus exploring the ways in which technology and commerce have become embedded in that basic biological urge.

Midway through the “Girlboss” premiere, Britt Robertson’s Sophia Amoruso walks down the street, tears pouring down her face, angrily shouting into her phone. She just got fired, and it first appears as though she feels the dismissal unjust. But then, just as she’s about to tick off a third reason her boss sucks, Sophia stops herself, and says, “Why am I such an asshole?”
It’s a question that had been building throughout our introduction to Sophia and asked in a moment that feels primed for self-discovery. In the span of 15 minutes, she’s been inexplicably cruel to her father, invited herself into a free, semi-permanent residency with a stranger, and made herself unreasonably late for work. She was fired not just for being perpetually late, but also for taking a personal phone call on company time, stealing her boss’ lunch, and unapologetically eating it in front of her.

Bill Nye has an admirable mission but an unenviable task: to combat scientific illiteracy in an era that doesn’t value expertise and reason. The title of his new Netflix TV series “Bill Nye Saves the World” isn’t hyperbole at all. It’s his hope to get viewers psyched up enough about science that they’re not just curious; they want to create a change for the better.

If you’ve gone shopping for a television lately, you are likely aware that 4K resolution (often billed as “Ultra HD”) is no longer a thing of the future – it’s here. Yet while higher resolution has made its way to becoming a standard feature in affordable consumer panels, a great deal of content is still being broadcast or streamed at 1080 (commonly referred to as HD).
For streaming giants like Netflix and Amazon, there is a mandate to get ahead of the curve, with both companies already making select content available to customers in 4K. Both subscription services are also investing billions in building libraries of original programming and, for the last two years, have required that shows like “House of Cards” be shot using one of a handful of cameras that were suitable for narrative TV and could handle native 4K image capturing.

1. “Dear White People” Season 1 (available April 28)
Why Should I Watch It? “Dear White People” is based on Justin Simien’s 2014 Sundance sensation of the same name, pulling characters and plot lines from the satirical comedy that helped introduce us to the glory that is Tessa Thompson. While the “Creed” star won’t be returning, other breakouts from the film are, and the core story — of a predominantly white Ivy League university facing a heated racial debate after a misguided blackface Halloween party — has been refined to fit a serialized format. It is hilarious, sharp, and so timely it hurts. Don’t miss it.
Best Episode: We caught the first two at SXSW, and though both are absolutely stellar, I’ve got to give the edge to the pilot. Logan Browning, as a radio personality who hosts a show titled “Dear White People,” gives a finely layered turn and the general...

Rashida Jones said she feels under siege addressing women’s issues in her Netflix docuseries “Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On” in the era of President Donald Trump. “It’s more important than it’s ever been before to tell these kinds of stories because we’re at war,” Jones told TheWrap CEO Sharon Waxman at the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday. “We’ve blatantly voted in a man who brags about sexual assault and who normalized it,” said Jones, who returned to Sundance with fellow executive producer Ronna Gradus and the follow-up to their 2015 debut film “Hot Girls Wanted,” a feature documentary about the effects.
