Nuisance Bear

All right.

And number three for me is a documentary called Nuisance Bear.

This could be heartbreaking.

I hope it's not, but it's called Nuisance Bear.

It comes out December 4th.

One of the two directors, a lot of these movies are double directed to co-directed.

Maybe he picked up some things from Matt, but this feels like a straightforward story about a polar bear.

It's a polar bear's traditional migration.

Any guesses?

Probably not Nuisance Bear yet, because that comes out in November.

Yeah, Nuisance Bear is.

It's on the 10, but the drop-off after...

No, the drop off after five is huge.

But like I felt kind of like there's a lot of stonewalling, which I find to be irritating in movies.

for being an 83 minute long movie it zips by everyone else i talked to at the festival who saw it absolutely loved it they thought it was like a brilliant brilliant movie and it's a movie where the filmmakers you're excited to see what they do next because like there's some definite talent there so yeah the peril at pincer point i hope it gets a wider release somewhere it's a movie that played at a south by southwest so uh hopefully it pops up somewhere wider soon at another movie i liked was called nuisance bear which is a documentary that follows a polar bear as he goes north from manitoba none of it and how all the wildlife officers and tourists kind of interact with nature and polar bears and stuff and how like they're trying to keep communities safe while trying to respect nature and as it goes further north the dangerous bear runs into because indigenous cultures up north hunt polar bears as part of their culture so um that bears are gonna be a lot more danger.

So the fascinating thing about this movie is it's a documentary and you feel for this bear, but all at the same time, you are looking at real people who are close to these bears and in these communities that are in danger because of polar bears getting too close to them.

So what's fascinating about this movie is it actually creates a great narrative Out of something that it doesn't feel manufactured.

Like I don't know how they're how they pull off a lot of these shots.

This one is going to be released by A24, so it's going to get a wider release for sure.

So yeah, Nuisance Bear, it's a fun documentary.

It's a fun documentary that I had a lot of fun with.

I was actually with service all day out at the plaza.

And it was really exciting to see like big crowds for Nuisance Bear, Coward, as you mentioned, you had to be there.

Like good crowds for every show and great response to every show as well.

It was a really fun day out there.

Got the day off to the right start.

It was a great day, yeah.

Adam, what was your highlight of this day, and why was it Nuisance Bear?

I love Nuisance Bear.

That's why I'm bringing it up.

Oh, I did rewatch Nuisance Bear documentary film in the race for an Oscar nomination, potentially from Mubi.

Really, really solid.

I rewatched Wild Horse 9.

There's John Wilson's "The History of Concrete," uh, which is also a Sundance doc, which is doing, you know, great business around the country.

Um, there's this, another Sundance doc called "Nuisance Bear" about the encroachment of bears, uh, in, in, uh, the Arctic, in Atla- Alaska, that goes into, that as their, as their habitat is getting pushed out, they're being pushed into towns.

Wasn't a huge fan of it, but it's gotten a lot of notice.

Um, and, um, there's Daniel Roher, who won a, who won an Oscar for "Navalny." He did a doc on AI called "The AI Doc: How to..." or "How I Became a Apocaloptimist."
