Netflix has revealed a new trailer for MLB at Field of Dreams, their upcoming live stream of the next game being played at the iconic Field of Dreams baseball field in Iowa. Baseball fans are already familiar with this place, as the very first inaugural game was played back in 2021. Back in 2020, MLB decided to build an actual, functioning baseball stadium at the same exact farm field location featured in the classic 1989 baseball movie Field of Dreams starring Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan, James Earl Jones. They went all out and did it just right, and now they're playing games at this park once a year. Coming up in August 2026 is the next live MLB game which Netflix is now airing. MLB takes the field at the iconic Field of Dreams ballpark in Dyersville, Iowa, as the Philadelphia Phillies face the Minnesota Twins. Inspired by the classic 1989 film, the ballpark brings one of baseball's most beloved stories to life. "If you build it, they will come." And indeed they will return again – to keep on playing more ball in the cornfields. It's actually pretty rad that they keep this tradition going and it wasn't just a one time thing and that's it. ⚾🇺🇸 Ready to watch? // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/enchanting-trailer-for-whispers-in-the-woods-doc-about-wild-forests/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/enchanting-trailer-for-whispers-in-the-woods-doc-about-wild-forests/#disqus_thread Thu, 23 Jul 2026 21:39:58 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=799374 "Trees listen to the birds' songs, too, you know." This is stunning. Madman Films has revealed their official trailer for an enchanting new documentary film titled Whispers in the Woods, from French filmmaker / photographer Vincent Munier. He already won the César Award in France before for his previous doc film The Velvet Queen about finding snow leopards in Tibet. This time, celebrated wildlife photographer Vincent Munier embarks on a journey with both his father and also his son into the heart of a forest whose beauty is transcendent. Munier shot every morning and every evening for months near his farm located in the Vosges Mountains, situated in Eastern France. The film was also shot a few other forests to capture this magnificent wilderness all around. A journey of uncommon beauty into the heart of wild forests - capturing their poetic sounds along with all the animals and trees. This premiered at last year's Zurich and London Film Festivals and has been playing in Europe, finally coming abroad for release in theaters in the US soon. "I want more stories" indeed - this is utterly mesmerizing, absolutely stunning naturalistic filmmaking.

So be careful handling film! 🎞️ Now playing in theaters worldwide is Christopher Nolan's latest epic movie The Odyssey, filmed entirely on 70mm IMAX film and presented in 70mm around the world. Now that the film is actually out, more videos have been appearing showing the actual work that goes into handling, managing, building, and projecting film in cinemas. Has this become a lost art? Hopefully not. This video is created by the YouTuber known as "Radioactive Drew" (who usually makes videos about finding radioactive places) who also works as a projectionist. He shows us an inside look at his work building a 70mm film print (non-IMAX) and getting it rigged for the projector, then threading and running the Christie 70mm film projector at this theater. Drew's intro: "I was hired to setup and project the 70mm Film version of The Odyssey at the Regal Bridgeport Village in Tigard, Oregon. Here's what I had to do to build the print and get everything ready to show it to the audience." It's a homemade video that is just this guy walking us through his job. But always fascinating to see the projection process from the booth. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/first-look-teaser-for-pulp-what-do-you-do-for-an-encore-music-doc/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/first-look-teaser-for-pulp-what-do-you-do-for-an-encore-music-doc/#disqus_thread Thu, 23 Jul 2026 16:08:00 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=799329 "How do you get to a moment like this?

Junghal Studios has revealed an official US trailer for an indie horror thriller creation called Namaslay, a wildly entertaining genre-bending horror satire by filmmakers known as Rish and Kanish. The two are making their first feature film, an independent production made in Los Angeles, riffing on the obsession with yoga there. Namaslay (a joke titled based on the saying "Namaste") reimagines the spirit of masala cinema through horror and satire. The story turns the commercialization & appropriation of yoga in the West into a blood-soaked, hilarious cultural reckoning. Proving culture is the blood that keeps the dead alive. Starring Kirunthuja Srikanth-Talim (aka Kiru Srikanth) as Gayatri, who moves to LA and gets invited to the inner sanctum of an elite yoga studio. Also with Angela Sant'Albano, Alicia Mitchell-Mangual, Usha Krishnan, and Christina Moore. It's opening in US theaters starting in August.

Celebrating their 83rd year (the oldest fest in the world) in 2026, Venezia is serving up a rather intriguing selection of new films to enjoy – though this year's line-up is quite unimpressive and lacking any real excitement. Venice 2026 runs from September 2nd to September 12th in just a few months. A few of the highlights include some major premieres that have been on our radar: Danny Boyle's new film Ink on creating a tabloid newspaper in the UK; Werner Herzog's latest film Bucking Fastard starring both of the Mara sisters; Koreeda's manga film Look Back; The Father director Florian Zeller's film Bunker, Martin McDonagh's Wild Horse Nine; Alex Gibney's Musk doc; and others that seem promising. Along with, of course, many of other movies to discover when they premiere on the Lido in Venice in a few months. I'll be there again as always for this fall festival to watch and report back on all the new films. I'm already looking forward to diving into screenings all day, every day, to find the best of the best.

An official trailer has debuted for an inspirational documentary film titled A Paradise Lost, made by artist / filmmaker Laurie Sumiye. An Animated Hawaiian Bird weaves an epic tale as the first animal to sue humans to prevent their extinction, amidst threats of climate change, fire, and sheep. This doc is about conservation and a fight to save animals from extinction. Ready for theatrical release soon, along with a debut on PBS this year. A Paradise Lost is a timely fable from the Bird Extinction Capital of the World about the plight of a rare yellow bird at the heart of Palila v. Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources, a landmark lawsuit in 1979 where an endangered animal took humans to court to prevent extinction. A stuffed palila stood in the courtroom as lead plaintiff, becoming a symbol for native species fighting for their right to exist against introduced sheep & goats invading their island home. With a blend of interviews, archival, vérité, animation, the film poetically weaves non-human perspectives of nature, and interconnected stories of life, death, rebirth and recovery.

A seasoned criminologist and a young female forensic psychologist are lured to a small town to investigate the murder of a young girl and the disappearance of her twin sister. As they crawl inside the killer's mind, the case spirals into obsession and a race against time to save the other sister. This stars Maggie Grace and Devon Sawa as the two investigators, along with Tiffany Haddish, Sam Brooks, and Ralph Macchio.

This premiered at the 2025 DOC NYC Film Fest last fall and will be out to watch on VOD (and in a few theaters) this August. For more than 60 years, there has been one place in LA that has served as the home-away-from-home for the biggest names in rock and roll. Tucked just off the Sunset Strip, the Sunset Marquis Hotel (see on Google Maps) became more than a place to stay while on tour. It became a creative sanctuary where songs were written, debauchery was shared, & music history unfolded behind closed doors. A place where music, creativity, culture converge. Now for the first time that story is being told. "Within 5 minutes of walking in the Marquis, you may hear a rock & roll story that sounds completely made up, but come to learn is true. Still beyond the many amazing musical stories, the father-and-son tale at the heart of the hotel is what truly inspired us to create this film." The secret is out about the Sunset Marquis. This looks like it will have some of the craziest rock stories ever told! And it'll make you want to stay at this hotel, too. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/tom-rhys-harries-gets-a-new-face-in-dcs-clayface-movie-full-trailer/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/tom-rhys-harries-gets-a-new-face-in-dcs-clayface-movie-full-trailer/#disqus_thread Wed, 22 Jul 2026 16:40:35 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=799086 "If you're harboring feelings of anger, you need to let them go!"

This is the first ever DC horror thriller film, based on the comic book character of Clayface from the Batman universe. Opening in theaters in October this fall. The movie is a body horror story about an up-and-coming actor whose face is disfigured by a gangster. As a last resort, he turns to a scientist who transforms his body into clay. Exploring "the loss of one's identity and humanity, corrosive love, and the dark underbelly of scientific ambition." Tom Rhys Harries stars as Matt Hagen who becomes "Clayface", with Eddie Marsan, Max Minghella, Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Nancy Carroll & Joshua James. It's produced by The Batman's Matt Reeves and features a screenplay co-written by horror mastermind Mike Flanagan. The first teaser was much better than this trailer, which plays way more like a horror movie than a comic book movie. I'm intrigued by this and the whole premise, but so far none of the footage has impressed me.

Confined in their Jeep Cherokee, they must decide whether to accept their fate or attempt escape. The four are played by unknown newcomer actors Phinehas Yoon, Akira Jackson, Noah Toth, and Mitchell Cole. This is a slick, creative, clever concept that the director has explained is cinema about Gen-Z culture, about the experience of never really knowing how to grow up and move on – stuck on this endless drive.
