The act of telling a joke sometimes means taking an audience to the edge of good taste, and for some comedians, pushing them right over the line. And for those who are truly taking risks, it can mean courting controversy, but are some people too easily offended? Should comedians apologize if their jokes go too far? Should some people simply stay away from material they know will push their buttons? All those questions get tackled in "Can We Take A Joke?" screening at the upcoming Doc NYC festival. Read More: Doc NYC Exclusive: Start The Journey With A Clip From 'I Am Sun Mu' Directed by Ted Balaker, and featuring Gilbert Gottfried, Adam Carolla, Lisa Lampanelli, Penn Jillette, and more, the film offers a thought-provoking and wry exploration of outrage culture through the lens of stand-up comedy, in the age of social media, where the ability to organize a groundswell...

It’s been a couple months since the last edition of What’s Up Doc? placed Michael Moore’s surprise world premiere of Where To Invade Next at the top of this list and in the meantime much shuffling has taken place and much time has been spent on various new endeavors (namely my Buffalo-based film series, Cultivate Cinema Circle). Finally taking its rightful place at the top, D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hagedus’ Unlocking the Cage is in the midst of being scored by composer James Lavino, according to Lavino’s own personal site. Though the project has been taking shape at its own leisurely pace, I’d expect to see the film making its festival debut in early 2016.
