“Ukraine is like porcelain, easy to break yet impossible to destroy.” —Slava Leontyev Join us for a Q&A with the co-director and the producer. Under roaring fighting jets as war ravages their homeland, three artists—Slava, Anya and Andrey—stay behind in their native Ukraine, defiantly finding beauty amid destruction. Armed with art, cameras and—for the first time in their lives—guns, they show that while it's easy to frighten people, it's harder to destroy their passion for living. Nominated for an Academy Award for best documentary feature, Porcelain War has already won the 2024 Sundance Grand Jury Prize. The film is a stunning tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, embodying the enduring hope and passion of ordinary people living through extraordinary circumstances. From the Academy Award-winning producer of The Cove and the Emmy Award-winning producer of Chasing Ice, and the team behind the Grammy Award-winning Quincy, Porcelain War is one of the most decorated documentary features of 2024. We will have a discussion with co-director Slava Leontyev and producer Paula DuPré Pesmen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Toward the end of this year's Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winning documentary “Porcelain War”, one of the directors and main subjects of the film, Slava Leontyev, says, “Ukraine is like porcelain. Easy to break but impossible to destroy.” Slava, along with his wife, Anya, create beautifully crafted “porcelain beasts” that used to be their main professional focus. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Slava has served with the Ukrainian Special Forces and Anya dodges landmines in the fields near their home.   Joining Ken for a live, in-person interview at Sundance 2024, directors Slava Leontyev and Brendan Bellomo describe the unlikely circumstances that brought them together and the unique creative process that resulted in this remarkable film. Amidst the constant battle against the Russian invaders, Slava, Anya, and their friend Andrey Stevanov (the film's DP) see a world around them that is broken, but, through the courage of their resistance, cannot be destroyed.   Thanks to Amos Cochran of Edit/Score for hosting our 2024 Sundance interviews.  Edit/Score is a new music library with an innovative approach to finding music for your film.   Listen to the library and learn more at editscoremusic.com    The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.   Follow: @brendanbellomo and @anyaslavaporcelain on Instagram @topdocspod on Instagram and twitter

END AD---" "ar's event marks the first as festival director for Egyptian filmmaker Amir Ramses, who was appointed earlier this year, as well as industry head Reem Allam. Ramses was tapped just weeks after Egyptian producer Mohamed Hefzy stepped down as festival president, after a four-year tenure in which he helped to revamp the long-running event. Hefzy was particularly instrumental in expanding the fest's international reach, bolstering ties with counterparts overseas, and launching an industry component that has quickly established itself as one of the leading platforms for filmmakers from the region. The festival's 44th edition, which runs until Nov. 22, unspools amid a crowded fall calendar of Arab fests, running parallel to Marrakech (Nov. 11 – 19) and on the eve of Saudi Arabia's splashy Red Sea Film Festival, which hosts its second edition in Jeddah from Dec. 1 – 10. Meanwhile, Egypt's El Gouna Film Festival, which for five years had occupied a late-October slot and brought a touch of star power to the Red Sea resort town, was put on pause this year. Its future is uncertain. Speaking to Variety on the eve of opening night, Ramses — who was the artistic director in El Gouna from 2017-2021 — described a spirit of healthy competition among the region's festivals, who he sees less as rivals than collaborators working toward a common goal of bolstering Arab cinema. “We're talking on a weekly basis about where we are, how we can support each other,” he said. “It's not about taking the lead. You can't build the region on one strong festival. We complement each other.” In his first year in Cairo, Ramses has nevertheless been keen to secure the kind of lineup that helped land El Gouna on the map. Along with the regional premiere of “The Fabelmans,” he's helped attract a strong slate of titles already making waves on the international festival circuit. Among the films celebrating regional premieres in Cairo are Carla Simón's Berlin Golden Bear Winner “Alcarràs”; Alice Diop's Venice Grand Jury Prize and Lion of the Future award winner “Saint Omer”; Alejandro Loayza Grisi's Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner “Utama”; Sally El Hosaini's Toronto opening film “The Swimmers”; and a host of award winners from this year's Cannes Film Festival, including Lukas Dhont's Grand Prix winner “Close,” Jerzy Skolimowski's Jury Prize-winning “EO” and Riley Keough and Gina Gammell Camera d'Or winner “War Pony.” At the same time, the longest continually running showcase of Arab cinema will look to shine a spotlight on the region's emerging and established talents. In the international competition, Egyptian director Ahmad Abdalla's “19B,” which celebrates its world premiere, will screen among 14 titles vying for the festival's Golden Pyramid, including Lebanese director Ali Cherri's Cannes Directors' Fortnight player “The Dam.” Ahmad Abdalla's “19B” has its world premiere in the festival's international competition.

In this VIFF podcast episode, we're featuring a special talk from the 2021 Vancouver International Film Festival with Jonas Poher Rasmussen, the writer & director behind the Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winning film, Flee.Blurring the line between documentary and narrative filmmaking styles, Flee tells the personal story of pseudonymous Amin Nawabi (a longtime friend of Rasmussen's) and his harrowing journey as a child refugee from Afghanistan.Using a blend of animation and archival footage as both an aesthetic choice and an ethical necessity (to hide Amin's true identity), the film is an illuminating and heartrending true story about the importance of personal freedom in all its meanings.Speaking to Brishkay Ahmed, writer/director of In the Rumbling Belly of Motherland, Rasmussen discusses how he employed a technique he learned when working in radio to elicit descriptive memories from Amin, his unique editing process and how Riz Ahmed came on board as a co–executive producer.This conversation was recorded on October 6, 2021. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––This podcast is brought to you by the Vancouver International Film Festival.Presented on the traditional and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) nations.The Greater Vancouver International Film Festival Society is a not-for-profit cultural organization that operates the internationally acclaimed Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF), the year-round programming of the theatres at the VIFF Centre and the online streaming platform, VIFF Connect.

Almost daily, the news media report on a new refugee crisis or a tragic border crossing attempted by those fleeing desperate circumstances in their home countries for the promise of a better life elsewhere. Danish filmmaker Jonas Poher Rasmussen takes the measure of one such story in his remarkable new documentary “Flee”, which gives a blow-by-blow, first-hand account of a young Afghan refugee named Amin who faces a perilous journey before finally making it safely to Denmark. Jonas and Amin became friends in high school, but it was not until years later that Jonas had even the slightest idea of all that had happened to Amin and his family. Why did Amin finally decide to tell his story? How did Jonas respect Amin's desire to stay anonymous, while at the same time portraying his story not only accurately and completely, but also visually? How did a filmmaker who started out with an idea for a short film, eventually take on an incredibly ambitious, multi-layered animated feature? Recently, Mike and Ken had the opportunity to ask Jonas about his special relationship with Amin and delve into Jonas' own creative odyssey. “Flee” captured the 2021 Sundance Grand Jury Prize and is now being heralded as a serious contender for this year's Oscar for Best Documentary Feature. NEON releases the film in theaters starting on December 3rd. Hidden Gem: Trollkarlen

In this film Moss provides a modern cinéma vérité experience that explores the reality of what takes place behind the curtain in a high profile political campaign including the emotional roller coaster ride it provided for Buttigieg's staff, family, friends and especially how it affected his relationship with his husband Chasten. “Mayor Pete” has been making the film festival circuit to rave reviews and is directed, written and produced by Moss in collaboration with writers Jeff Gilbert, Amanda McBaine and produced by Dan Cogan, Amanda McBaine, Jon Bardin and Laurie David. We talked to Jesse about his inspiration for taking on this must-see film “Mayor Pete” and as a fierce gay ally his spin on our LGBTQ issues.  Jesse Moss is an Emmy and Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winning director.

EPICENTRO, a richly textured portrait of the resilient people of Cuba directed by renowned documentarian Hubert Sauper (We Come As Friends, Oscar-nominated Darwin’s Nightmare). Winner of the 2020 Sundance Grand Jury Prize for World Cinema Documentary, the film launches in virtual cinemas through Kino Marquee starting Friday, August 28. EPICENTRO is an immersive and metaphorical portrait of post-colonial, “utopian” Cuba, where the 1898 explosion of the USS Maine still resonates. This Big Bang ended Spanish colonial dominance in the Americas and ushered in the era of the American Empire. At the same time and place, a powerful tool of conquest was born: cinema as propaganda. In his latest film, Hubert Sauper explores a century of interventionism and myth-making together with the extraordinary people of Havana—who he calls “young prophets"—to interrogate time, imperialism and cinema itself.
