“Buried for decades… silent until now.” The Orchard has released an official US trailer for a horror-comedy called Demon, from the late Polish filmmaker Marcin Wrona, who finished this film and died last year just before its initial release. Titled Ha’dibouk in Hebrew, the film is about a man possessed by an “unquiet” spirit in the midst of his own wedding. It’s a new take on the Jewish legend of the dybbuk, described as “part absurdist comedy, part love story that scares, amuses, and charms in equal measure.” Starring Agnieszka Zulewska and Itay Tiran, with Andrzej Grabowski and Tomasz Schuchardt. The film is actually partially in English, so dive right in, even though this trailer doesn’t seem to show much of the comedic side. This looks quite chilling and unique, worth seeking out if you’re a fan of possession horror or Polish cinema. ›››

“This is not even an African cow.” This short film isn’t sci-fi or animated, but it is damn good. Grey Bull is a short from Australian filmmaker Eddy Bell about a South Sudanese refugee now living and working in Australia. After befriending a grey bull at the slaughterhouse where he works, he decides to rescue it and bring it home where his family lives, causing all kinds of problems. Despite the brutal nature of the world he works in, and the stress of being a refugee in foreign country, there’s a charm to this that really stands out. I can see why this won so many awards at so many festivals the last few years, it deserves them, and I hope to see more from this filmmaker sooner than later. You don’t need to know much about this, just watch below. ›››

“Most of us don’t want to change…” Another incredible peek inside the mind of Nick Cave! The first trailer has debuted for a documentary called One More Time With Feeling, made by The Assassination of Jesse James director Andrew Dominik, which follows Cave producing his new album titled “Skeleton Tree” (out in September). The trailer is entirely in black & white, but the feature-length doc has both color and B&W footage as well as 2D and 3D footage, showing Cave working in the studio and outside as well. The footage in this looks stunning, and I’m a huge fan of Andrew Dominik, so I’ll probably catch this just to get a glimpse at his most recent work. The “other” Nick Cave doc was called 20,000 Days on Earth and played throughout festivals in 2014-2015, earning mostly positive reviews for being a unique creation. This one is also unique. ›››

Your family is your flock and your flock is your family. Warner Bros has debuted another new trailer for the animated Storks movie, co-directed by Nicholas Stoller & Doug Sweetland. The story follows a young human girl named Tulip who works in the stork delivery company, which has become a .com delivery giant after moving on from delivering babies. Until one shows up and they have to figure out how to get it back to its family. The voice cast features Andy Samberg as the voice of Junior, as well as Kelsey Grammer, Jennifer Aniston, Ty Burrell, Key and Peele, plus Katie Crown as Tulip. This new trailer also features the song “Kiss the Sky” by Jason Derulo, which is thematically connected to the film. I’m not sure if this will be any good, but hopefully it will have some funny moments and that might make it enjoyable. Have a look. ›››

“Here I was staring at it – the origin of everything.” This is awesome! Animator Pascal Blais has whipped up a trailer for an adaptation of Moebius & Jodorowsky’s graphic novel ‘The Incal‘, published between 1981 and 2014. Blais brought together artists who helped make the original Heavy Metal movie, which featured a few sequences based on Moebius’ work, to make this project. It’s not an actual production but rather just a passion project and Blais finally polished a few bits and released the trailer online. I wish they were really planning to release the full film, because I would pay to watch this in a heartbeat. Not only is it cool to see some of the animation in this, but it seems like a fun and exciting story to see especially nowadays. Dive in. ›››
