On the new episode of Deadlineās Doc Talk podcast, hosts John Ridley and @MattCarey react to the #Oscars Sunday night.
āNo Other Land,ā set in the occupied West Bank, brought the first ever Oscar win to Palestinian filmmakers ā Basel Adra and Hamdan Ballal ā who made the documentary in tandem with Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor.
Doc Talk also turns our attention to one of the most highly-acclaimed documentary festivals in the U.S. ā True/False (@truefalse), headquartered in Columbia, MO.
The festivalās artistic director, ChloĆ© Trayner, tells Ridley and Carey how ājoy and playfulnessā have become integral to the True/False identity, and why the cinematic showcase favors āauthoredā work over less distinctive approaches to the documentary form.
Listen to a clip below, and the full episode here: deadline.com/doc-talk
Doc Talk is in partnership with @nostudiosmke

#TrueFalse: Angelo Madsen's A BODY TO LIVE IN @truefalse explores the power and frailty of the human formāart once erotic, spiritual, and politically potent. I'll never look at body modificationāor queernessāthe same way again.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Theo Montoya about his phenomenal debut feature ANHELL69. I first saw it at @truefalse in 2022 and was blown away. He used to run a queer nightclub in MedellĆn and this film was partly inspired by thatāhe said editing it was like using Traktor.
"Humanity is dominated by the mainstream, and this is something we should be worried about all the time. We donāt want people to think there is only one way to think or make something."
