Saw two very strong docs @ #HotDocs25: 2000 METERS TO ANDRIIVKA + CUTTING THROUGH ROCKS. In awe of the filmmakers for the risks they took to tell these stories. Embedding oneself in a Ukranian counteroffensive. Following a councilwoman in rural Iran determined to defy patriarchal norms. 📽️

One other film I watched on Wednesday event that I didn't mention earlier was Unwanted. It talked about Venezuelan refugees fleeing to Chile where they endured lots of xenophobia. Even so, it was a film where I could feel empathy for both the Venezuelans and the Chileans. Rated it a 4/5. #HotDocs25

The Audience Award for #HotDocs25 went to Endless Cookie which I respectfully have to disagree on. The film had its funny lines, but it was just way too weird for my liking and it was hard to make sense of it all. Rated it a 2/5.

Watched two films tonight to wrap up #HotDocs25. Coexistence, My Ass was hysterical about Noam Shuster-Eliassi who used comedy and substance to discuss the Israel-Palestine conflict. The bit about her proposing to MBS (in Saudi Arabia) was the most hilarious highlight. Definitely a 5/5!

One thing I'll say about Deaf President Now and the Marlee Matlin doc playing at the same festivals: it is wild to see how two different documentaries edit the same Nightline segment. DFN doesn't even include her! #HotDocs25

Where there's a meme, there's a way. THE LONGER YOU BLEED is a highlight in @hotdocs.bsky.social's Made in Exile programme for its take on doomscrolling the war in Ukraine from afar. #HotDocs25 povmagazine.com/the-longer-y...
