The Janes is a call to action - Chicago Reader “What we know for a fact is that making abortion illegal does not stop women from seeking abortions, it just keeps them from getting safe abortions.”

THE JANES is a call to action -"This timely ode opens the annual #Doc10 film festival on Thursday with two sold-out screenings; both directors will appear in person, as well as the largest reunion of Janes since 1973.

#Doc10: "I was inspired by E.M. Forster’s novel 'The Machine Stops.' About a woman and her son in a future in which we all obey 'the machine.' Who knew the writer of 'A Room with a View' also wrote sci-fi?"-Natalia Almada on USERS @doc10filmfest @wearecmp

#Doc10: "Our extraordinary subject Pauli Murray was our core stylistic & artistic inspiration. Pauli's stark, evocative language were touchstones for the look & tone of the film."-BetsyWest & JulieCohen on MY NAME IS PAULI MURRAY @doc10filmfest @wearecmp

#Doc10 Inspirations: "We both latched onto the book 'There Are No Children Here.' The boys & their mother. The slice of life. The ups, downs & raw humanity. Kids being kids. Juxtaposed with all the tragedy"-ALL THESE SONS' Bing Liu & Josh Altman @wearecmp

#Doc10 Inspirations: "I saw my first Sebastian Salgado exhibit when I was quite young in Mexico City. Salgado's images are simultaneously epic and intimate. This duality is rare to achieve but what I wanted to strive for.- Natalia Almada on USERS@wearecmp

doc10.org/users

#Doc10 Inspirations: "What drew me & the team to this story is what’s in the letters—the sheer humanity laid bare. We thought in terms of images like William Eggleston’s color portraits and the gritty reality of Avedon’s Into the West."
@keithmaitland on DEAR MR. BRODY @wearecmp

It's a weird year for #Oscars, but I'm proud to say that #Doc10 2020 had a 40% return rate on Oscar shortlisted docs @doc10filmfest @wearecmp. Congrats to the lucky 4 out of 10: Boys State, Collective, Dick Johnson is Dead & Time. And Crip Camp, too, which was an honorary member.

Athlete A Interview — Doc10 From the directors of the acclaimed films Audrie & Daisy and An Inconvenient Sequel, Athlete A uncovers the truths behind the rampant abuse across USA Gymnastics: from the Olympic doctor who was convicted to the dozens of coaches that have been banned. Equal parts devastating and inspiring, Athlete A follows the IndyStar reporters as they reveal the extensive cover-up and culture of cruelty that was allowed to thrive within elite-level gymnastics, the attorney fighting the institutions, and most importantly, the brave whistle-blowers who refuse to be silenced, including Maggie Nichols, once dubbed “Athlete A.” Filmmakers Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk discuss the film’s current resonances with the Me Too movement, corruption in competitive sport, and building an emotional story.

Thanks @IDAorg for fighting to free Claudio Rojas from ICE detention. We're proud to be showing the film at #DOC10 in April and we'll keep up the pressure. As the film itself shows, the only way people in ICE custody are given due process is through political pressure.

Compiling a festival of just 10 films is a joy, a challenge, and still hard to fit on a single page. #DOC10

It's terrific that larger film festivals such as @tribecafilmfest & @sundancefest are declaring gender parity in their programming, but I'm proud to say that this year's #DOC10 has even more female directors than male.

doc10.org/films-2019

Hey doc fans, if you missed AMERICAN FACTORY, KNOCK DOWN THE HOUSE, MIKE WALLACE IS HERE or ONE CHILD NATION at @truefalse, you can catch them next at #DOC10. Our top ten lineup is here:

Hey Chicago, join me tomorrow night for the Chitown premiere of @fancynancynyc's riveting @RollRedRollDoc at the Davis Theater. We'll get revved up for #DOC10. And warm up with a free drink at the bar, included with your $10 ticket!

Getting ready to announce #DOC10 lineup next week, and thinking about @prewarcinema's claim, "Documentary festivals can sometimes feel like a parade of weirdos, camera whores and helpless sad sacks." Fortunately, I can say we have a pretty respectable group.
