Derek OpaleyHOST
Harlan County, USA is consistently ranked among not just the best of its genre, but the best films of all time, even cracking the Sight and Sound Top 250 list made every decade by the British Film Institute.
Derek OpaleyHOST
Tom Powers co-founded DOC NYC, America's largest documentary festival, and hosts Pure Nonfiction, a long-running podcast about the genre.
Derek OpaleyHOST
He says Harlan County, USA is a totemic work.
Tom PowersGUEST
I can't think of, you know, many people working in documentary today in the 21st century who aren't touched by Barbara's influence, um, either directly or, uh, indirectly.
Anne ThompsonHOST
That's a list of, of 10.
Anne ThompsonHOST
And it also made the DOC NYC shortlist of 15, which aims to sort of predict what the Oscar 15 shortlist will be.
Anne ThompsonHOST
That's a big deal.
Anne ThompsonHOST
That's a big deal to get both of those, and it means it's really in, in the front of the pack for, for the docs.
Ben DuchekHOST
More travel.
Alisa KovalenkoGUEST
Yeah, and Doc NYC, US.
Ben DuchekHOST
Oh, cool.
Alisa KovalenkoGUEST
Yeah, and, and after, we really, like, we are hoping so much for some VOD platforms.
A.J. SchnackHOST
... uh, that have come, uh, this, this past week.
A.J. SchnackHOST
Um, we get both the Critic's Choice Award nominations as well as the Doc NYC lists, and this, I think, gives us a sense at least of what, um, these two organizations think are, you know, the, the, the films to, to watch and to consider.
A.J. SchnackHOST
Um, I, I think there's probably some cases where both organizations have missed something that made-
Lisa RemingtonHOST
Yeah
Lisa RemingtonHOST
Yeah, we would.
Lisa RemingtonHOST
Yeah.
A.J. SchnackHOST
Uh, well let's go through the, the lists starting with, uh, the Doc NYC feature shortlist.
A.J. SchnackHOST
Uh, we have, uh, 14th, American Doctor, The Bend in the River, Everybody to Kenmore Street, A Fox Under a Pink Moon, The Great Experiment, Musk, Naza, Once Upon a Time in Harlem, One in a Million, Soul Patrol, Time and Water, To Hold a Mountain, Wild Inside, and You Can See Everything.
Elise KelleyGUEST
Uh, Philly, Baltimore.
Elise KelleyGUEST
We're also going to DOC NYC, which is another big documentary film festival.
Elise KelleyGUEST
So hopefully this has legs and it's seen by as many people as possible.
Justin AcriHOST
Have you been to Hot Springs before or been to the festival?
Gretel TruongGUEST
But again, that is perspective of a system.
Gretel TruongGUEST
Or again, just have a film that is opening night of Doc NYC about Mahmoud Khalil, who was detained by ICE.
Gretel TruongGUEST
And so, again, that's a risk to tell that story, but at the same time, it's also a risk to not tell that story.
Gretel TruongGUEST
And I think it's really important to ground yourself in the truth of knowing, hey, if we don't tell this story now, it may not get told at all.
PaoloHOST
So Ava DuVernay, just a name to watch.
PaoloHOST
Again, I would say, you know, we'll have a better picture on which films will be in the documentary race, uh, when we get the Doc NYC winners circle and short film list.
PaoloHOST
Um, and then, uh, I believe SCAD might have put out their list already.
PaoloHOST
But, you know, kind of cross-referencing a lot of these different, uh, documentary things over the course of the fall festival, uh, fall season is probably the best way to, to have a better picture of what's gonna be coming to documentary.
Cindy EckertGUEST
So the film came out.
Cindy EckertGUEST
It won the Audience Award at DOC NYC.
Cindy EckertGUEST
I wanna say this director, Ashley Chin Yee, is spectacular.
Becca TobinHOST
Mm-hmm.
Mike MaggioreGUEST
And this is what I was looking for.
Mike MaggioreGUEST
She is currently, and for many years, has been senior programmer at DocNYC, chair of the programming committee at the Flaherty Film Seminar.
Tabitha JacksonHOST
Fancy.
Mike MaggioreGUEST
And senior programmer at the Architecture and Design Film Festival.
Ward W. BondHOST
My guest today is filmmaker Maria Luisa Ernst, and for over the past decade, she has created intimate, politically engaged cinema shaped by her background in performance art and exploring personal loss, memory, and the invisible threads that connect us beyond nationality and borders.
Ward W. BondHOST
Now, her feature debut, the Oscar-qualified documentary feature film, A Place of Absence, premiered at Doc NYC and went on to screen at many festivals around the world, winning multiple awards.
Ward W. BondHOST
Now, the film brings us two stories that intertwine with hope, grief, and yes, loss, yet fueled by love and courage.
Ward W. BondHOST
And decades after the disappearance of her uncle during Argentina's dictatorship...
