Earlier this year, VICE Films and Grolsch Film Works teamed up to make a three-part film called The Fourth Dimension. A mindfuck brief was written by VICE’s creative director Eddy Moretti and delivered to three of the world’s most acclaimed filmmakers; Harmony Korine, Alexey Fedorchenko and Jan Kwiecinski. The results were cinematic dynamite. Anyway, Grolsch Film Works have a new website where you can find out what they’ve been up to and read/ watch entertaining and interesting stuff about films (and stuff). Every week we’ll be plucking the highlights. This is that.

With that in mind, we chart our top ten meddling mamas in film, from the pushy to the plain psychotic.

The filmmaker (soon-to-be TV series-maker) is currently at work on a ten-episode version of The Exorcist, based on the 1971 novel that director William Friedkin famously adapted in the ‘70s.
MOVIE CAMPS
Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom caused quite a stir when it debuted at Cannes last week. According to Variety, its tale of Sam (Jared Gilman), a young boy scout bullied at scout camp, “supplies a poignant metaphor for adolescence itself”. As the film opens in cinemas this week, we pitched a tent, doused ourselves in mosquito spray and began pondering our favourite movie camps over a tin of re-heated beans…
