WILL OLDHAM IN GUATEMALAN HANDSHAKE It's a real indie movie (no, really it is). And it's out on dvd. Director David Gordon Greene says Guatemalan Handshake "woke me up like an injection of creatine on a morning when I was dealing with my own professional frustrations. It reminded me of the courage and hunger it takes to get anything distinctive going these days. It was inspiring because it was simultaneously genius and idiotic and IT GOT MADE." Read the entire review of The Guatemalan Handshake at Filmmaker Magazine. |

CELEBRATE MOTHER'S DAY AMELIE AT THE WHISTLE STOP SUNDAY, MAY 11TH, 4PM Celebrate Mother's Day with us and help citizen video hasten in spring time, with the pop- soaked, sun-drenched cheery fantasty The Fabulous Destiny of Amelie Poulain. Looking like a modern day Louise Brooks, Audrey Tautou dazzled audiences as Amelie, a Parisian waitress that tinkers in the lives of her friends. She scampers around like a woodland sprite, laying out elaborate stunts and practical jokes as payback for those who get on the wrong side of her buddies. An affectionate, sugar-rush of a movie, Amelie will make you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside just like the whiskey you’re sipping when watching it at the Whistle Stop. |

| This Summer: Pineapple Express We here at Citizen Video love David Gordon Green, who made his name with the ultra-indie George Washington, as well as All the Real Girls and Undertow and the upcoming Snow Angels. We also love Judd Apatow, responsible for Freaks and Geeks, Knocked Up, and Superbad, among others. So when we heard the Apatow had hand-picked Green for a big stoner-action-buddy-comedy to be released in summer 2008, we couldn't help but get a little excited. From a script by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who wrote Superbad together (and we know Rogen from his starring turns as well), Pineapple involves a pothead, Rogen, and his dealer, James Franco, who are witnesses to a murder and must elude both the folks who would like to see them dead as well as the cops who think they're responsible, all because of the best pot ever, Pineapple Express. Here's the Red Band trailer that just popped up. |

And for some less mainstream media, check our article in Blogsandiego. Keith Boyd did a great job capturing the essence and motivation behind Citizen. |

FILMOUT SAN DIEGO LGBT FILM FESTIVAL ONE WEEK STARTING FRIDAY, APRIL 11 @ LANDMARK KEN |
| FilmOut San Diego's annual LGBT film festival begins today at the Landmark Ken theater. Featuring the best in LGBT shorts and features, FilmOut consistently brings voice to a film community that is so often sadly overlooked. |
| Coming Soon :Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay We here at Citizen might specialize in foreign and indie, but we also love the irreverence of films like Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle and are very much looking forward to the sequel, due out April 25th. The film picks up where the first left off, with the boys on their way to Amsterdam, only to be detained as suspected terrorists. I don't want to give too much away, so you'll just have to check out the red-band trailer below and enjoy for yourselves. |
| Coming Soon:Jellyfish For those who complain that not enough film comes out of Israel, we're happy to present the trailer, courtesy of the filmmakers themselves, for Jellyfish, a multi-character story set in present day Tel Aviv. The film won the Camera D'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival. For more information about this film, check out the Zeitgeist website. |
