TIFF Review: Summercamp!

Filed under: Documentary », Independent », SXSW », Theatrical Reviews », Festival Reports », Toronto International Film Festival », Cinematical Indie »

Ah, summercamp ... the place where parents send children to gain independence, commune with nature, engage in healthy outdoor activities, and make new friends. When you think about it, summer camp is really the perfect setting for a documentary: The socialization, the bullying, the friendships and alliances, the tug of freedom and beckoning adulthood against the hollow ache of homesickness. Toss it all in with some nasty-looking camp food, add some kids with engaging stories and diverse personalities, and you've got a brilliant recipe for a light-hearted but touching documentary film.

TIFF Interview: Scott Weinberg Chats Up The Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne

Filed under: Documentary », Independent », Festival Reports », Interviews », Toronto International Film Festival », Cinematical Indie »

Summercamp! is a documentary about, well, kids at summercamp and what summer camp is like -- the good, the bad and the ugly. Last night Cinematical's Scott Weinberg and Netscape anchor (and our awesome video producer for the Toronto International Film Festival) Alexia Prichard headed over to the Summercamp! premiere party, where The Flaming Lips, who provided most of the music for the film, were performing. Scott managed to catch up with The Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne to talk to him about the music The Lips did for the film. Check it out, over on Netscape.
