Hunger Ward (2020) – Skye Fitzgerald and Michael Scheuerman (USA, 40 min.) - 8/10
Sometimes there is a palpable magic in the reality of the moment. Such sadness, vulnerability and sacrifice on display; a communion with the spirit of the filmed. Beautifully illustrated sorrow with such dynamism squeezed from the suffering. Its a staggering and sobering reality. Fantastic eye, editing and directing. Yemeni horror that is truly harrowing.
Do Not Split (2020) – Anders Hammer and Charlotte Cook (USA/Norway, 36 min.) - 7+/10
Fairly intensive and in depth look at the protests in Hong along. Tremendous access and footage. Can’t help but see the similarities to America over the same period of time.
Colette (2020) – Anthony Giacchino and Alice Doyard (France/Germany/USA, 24 min.) - 7+/10
A walk through the past that is tragic and felt. It’s colorful, informative, funny and saddening. A very engaging travel with a blatantly cool older lady and a studious scholarly companion, keeping the truth alive. Just a badass aged woman so wise and worthy of being documented.
A Love Song for Latasha (2019) – Sophia Nahli Allison and Janice Duncan (USA, 18 min.) - 6+/7-/10
Tangible but etheric. A story larger than the young life lost. A fascinating experimental depiction of the tale of a future lost senselessly.
