"I am eye. I am a mechanical eye. I, a machine, am showing you a world, the likes of which only I can see."  — Dziga Vertov   This is a group dedicated to providing a space for other documentary lovers to meet, see, and discuss rare, hard to access documentary films. My wife and I are both passionate about documentary film, and are constantly surprised that they get so little exposure. We thought a meetup group would be a great way to try and change this, as well as hopefully meeting some kindre …

There are few periods in film history that were more influential and more fun that the Italian Spaghetti Westerns made between 1964 and the mid 1970s. You will find more action or gun play anywhere. Not even a Shakespearian tragedy could pile up bodies like the Italians would. From Sergio Leone to Sergio Corbucci to Enzo Barboni; from Clint Eastwood to Lee Van Cleef to Klaus Kinski and hundreds of Italian unknown actors; these movies are endless fun. Once a month Gun Slingers get together to sha …
