My Undesirable Friends, Part 1: Last Air in Moscow at the Metrograph in NYC

We had a great time at the Metrograph NYC watching one of the great all-time documentaries (again) and saying hi to Julia Loktev, Anya Nemzer, Ksenia Mironova, and Michael Taylor

Not to jinx it, but they might want to start thinking about their red carpet wardrobe strategy

This #Oscars-shortlisted 5.5h doc about the fall of Russian freedom of speech has taken hold of my last few days.

The 1st half plays out like a chilling retrace of events developing in the US. The 2nd half is a heartbreaking warning.

This is a medium shot of a woman Russian journalist outside, walking in a city with buildings and traffic behind her at night. She is a white woman roughly in her 20s or early 30s with brown eyebrows and blue or green eyes. A red hood like from a sweatshirt covers her hair. She wears a red scarf over her mouth and a tan overcoat, with a black backpack. She carries a laptop and its case in her right hand, clutched to her chest, and listens to a cell phone she holds in her left hand.

Julia Loktev's lengthy documentary #MyUndesirableFriends is worth the time. It's heartening to see the passion these Russian independent journalists have for their work and the world they want to create, even at risk to their lives. My @awfjorg.bsky.social review.

Visions du Réel 2025 - Parte 7: Conflictos

Hablamos de conflictos en nuestra crónica de #VisionsDuRéel: la persecución de periodistas en Rusia, la paz en Palestina, los ultras en el fútbol, los deportados camboyanos de EE.UU. y la perspectiva de dos extras de Apocalypse Now.

#MyUndesirableFriends #NationalPride #MoriaSix #Khmerica #Ultras

El documental #MyUndesirableFriends es una inspiradora crónica, dividida en cinco episodios, sobre un grupo de periodistas rusas consideradas "agentes externos" por el régimen de Putin, y enfrentadas a la persecución y el exilio durante la guerra de Ucrania.
