A [three-film triple feature] dissecting the ins and outs of the hit HBO TV series #TheSopranos is here, sating the appetites of those who just finished binge-watching it during lockdown and are eagerly anticipating the release of the movie prequel, The Many Saints of Newark.
[It's] an in-depth exploration of the show and its legacy, featuring appearances from cast members, the show’s directors and critics who’ve written whole books on the show.
Providing some context to the classic series you binge-watched during lockdown, here’s where you can stream the greatest Sopranos schooling of your life.
2021 is shaping up to be a good year for fans of The Sopranos.
The Many Saints of Newark — a feature-length prequel dealing with the formative years of mob boss Tony Soprano — is set to hit screens in September, but first fans have a chance to revisit the crime epic via Sirk's three separate films that help untangle its sprawling plot.
(via Dazed and Confused Magazine)
Ahead of the Many Saints of Newark prequel coming later in 2021, Sopranos Sessions helps unpick the plot of the iconic HBO show
Ahead of the September theatrical release of "Many Saints of Newark," the prequel to HBO’s hit show "The Sopranos," fans of the show can get a chance to analyze the original classic through three separate films that are being shown as a triple feature in the theaters titled "Sopranos Sessions".
Director Kristian Fraga spoke to Cheddar about how the movies are a way for fans to dissect the mob drama at even deeper levels than ever before.
Ironically, Fraga noted that he hadn't been much of a fan during the time that series originally aired, but through developing each session with critics, former cast members, and creator David Chase, the director feels that both die-hard and casual fans alike will be able to explore the show through a unique lens. - cheddar news

Fraga says that his desire was to get into the minds of the people who made The Sopranos, as well as those who have analyzed it for years, and let the conversation play out in a raw, candid way. “My basic conceit was to strip everything away,” he says. “There are no clips of the show. It’s just these guys and the rhythm of the conversation. I wanted to put the audience in the booth [at Holsten’s].
“I wish someone had made this kind of show with Rod Serling [creator of The Twilight Zone]. I would have loved to have seen that. I’m a fan of The Sopranos, but my passion for the show comes more from the filmmaking side—how David Chase pulled this off. I wanted to dissect what it is about this show that I believe taught a whole new way of watching narrative TV. It opened up a lot of stuff that was happening on TV and kind of elevated it.”
(via Fast Company)
Director Kristian Fraga argues that his new film about the epic TV series and creator David Chase, ‘Sopranos Sessions,’ is best seen in a communal setting.

Timeline Photos
During the 1910s, motion pictures came to dominate every aspect of life in the suburban New Jersey community of Fort Lee. During the nickelodeon era, D.W. Griffith, Mary Pickford, and Mack Sennett would ferry entire acting companies across the Hudson to pose against the Palisades. Theda Bara, "Fatty" Arbuckle, and Douglas Fairbanks worked in the rows of great greenhouse studios that sprang up in Fort Lee and the neighboring communities. Tax revenues from studios and laboratories swelled municipal coffers.
Then, suddenly, everything changed. Fort Lee, the film town once hailed as the birthplace of the American motion picture industry, was now the industry's official ghost town. Stages once filled to capacity by Paramount and Universal were leased by independent producers or used as paint shops by scenic artists from Broadway. Most of Fort Lee's film history eventually burned away, one studio at a time.
Richard Koszarski re-creates the rise and fall of Fort Lee filmmaking in a remarkable collage of period news accounts, memoirs, municipal records, previously unpublished memos and correspondence, and dozens of rare posters and photographs―not just film history, but a unique account of what happened to one New Jersey town hopelessly enthralled by the movies.

“[This week] in 1969, when police raided the Stonewall Inn—a bar in the Greenwich Village neighborhood, known as a safe haven for gay men—violent demonstrations and protests broke out in response. The Stonewall Riots, as they would come to be known, were the first spark in the wildfire that would become the LGBTQ rights revolution. Over fifty years later, the LGBTQ community and its supporters continue to celebrate every June to commemorate this historic event, with the Stonewall Inn being at the center of NYC's festivities.” - ABRAMS Books

Since 1997 Sirk has been led by award-winning filmmakers and designers specializing in creating experiences with a cinematic edge. We are the storytellers of the future blending content with technology. Our goal is to create experiences that are inspiring, thought-provoking and entertaining – films, television programs, branded video content, websites, social media campaigns and experiential content.
Sirk specializes in two distinct areas: Original Entertainment and Creative Agency Services. Our talent has years of experience producing theatrical films and television shows. From our award winning feature documentaries Severe Clear and Anytown, USA to our critically acclaimed television program The Inside Reel, Sirk has worked with entertainment leaders like AMC, PBS, Netflix, Film Movement, DirecTV, Redbox and NBCTelemundo. We have leveraged that experience into creating visual media for brands like Altec Lansing, Konami, Abrams Publishing, Lucasfilm and Hasbro.
You've heard the age old debate about what makes a movie a movie and a film a film. Why can't a given piece of work be both? Certainly Academy Award winners such as The Silence of the Lambs, Forrest Gump, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Star Wars are as much films as they are movies. The craft, intelligence and power to move and entertain is why these films earn critical acclaim as well as become global box office sensations. For Sirk, the ability to succeed on these two levels is not only desirable, but essential to what makes us unique. Our success can be seen in our ability to reach a wide audience while entertaining, enlightening, and educating the viewer.
Sirk is growing during a Renaissance in media and we are at the forefront of the amazing changes to come. Not since the advent of sound and the introduction of color have there been such ground breaking and positive development in the world of visual entertainment. Sirk has embraced new technology in the industry, helping it advance while using new tools and efficiencies to tell our stories.
The great philosopher Joseph Campbell was of the opinion that the unpardonable sin was the sin of inadvertence, of not being alert, of being indifferent. There is so much out there, whether it's in books or the day-to-day grind of living, that's ripe for understanding, studying and ultimately incorporating into entertainment. We are the storytellers of the future, the myth-makers for generations to come.
