Shine Your Eyes, the richly textured feature fiction debut of Brazilian filmmaker Matias Mariani, will launch worldwide of Netflix on July 29th.

The highly anticipated documentary feature Pretending I’m A Superman – The Tony Hawk Video Game Story will have a digital/VOD release on August 18th. The definitive documentary from director Ludvig Gür tells the story of skater turned video game mogul Tony Hawk, and the near extinction of skateboarding culture before exploding back into the mainstream in the early 2000s.

July is off to a good start with the release of some highly anticipated official trailers. Due to the global pandemic, distribution companies who would’ve normally released their movies in theaters have turned to streaming giants like Netflix and HBO Max to premiere their films to audiences around the world. With film productions beginning to ramp back up and theaters around the country slowly starting to open, movie-goers are hoping they won’t have to much longer to watch films on the big-screen again. Until then, check out the five official trailers that caught our eyes this week.

The San Sebastian Film Festival released the first six titles competing for the Golden Shell at its 68th edition. The list features returning filmmakers Naomi Kawase, François Ozon, and new directors such as Dea Kulumbegashvili and Takuma Sato, among others.
