Podcasts about true false film fest

So, a Christian and a secular film festival director walk into a bar. Actually, they're the same person. How? That's the crazy story we're telling on today's episode when we continue our series breaking down each of the six types of “Joyful Outsiders” God uses to engage with culture. Jeremy Brown, a Christian and former Executive Director of a progressive, non-Christian film festival, joins us to provide an example of the advisor, those who impact culture by influencing the influential. Advisors are “in the room where it all happens” and aren't necessarily in charge, but influence people in power. Jeremy explains his backstory and how he got involved with the internationally recognized True/False Film Fest. Did this secular organization know much about his personal faith convictions? How did he help bridge the gap between the film fest and one of the festival's sponsors, his own church? And how did he handle the controversy that ensued after a contradictory sermon at his church led to a dramatic partnership ending that drew national attention? What kind of advice would he offer to other advisors with a foot in both worlds? Listen now! Are you an advisor too? Or maybe you're an artist, protester, trainer, builder, or ambassador?

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold.

We promised ourselves we would finish this season by the end of 2020, as it was inspired by the events of 2020. And here we are: episode 10 of our Saturday School semester on Asian American interracial cinema. We started from the 70s/80s and slowly worked our way up to the present. Ursula Liang's documentary "Down a Dark Stairwell" had its premiere in March 2020 at the True/False Film Fest, right before the lockdown, and has been doing the festival circuit all year. It'll be available to watch on PBS in April 2021. It's about an innocent Black man Akai Gurley who was killed by a Chinese American police officer Peter Liang in 2014. Over 100 Black men have been killed by the NYPD in the past 15 years. The only NYPD officer who has ever been convicted is a Chinese American rookie cop that shot into a dark stairwell. As Asian Americans, it was hard for us to watch Chinese/Asian American organizing emerge in full force yet devolve so quickly, chaotically and unnecessarily into warring factions - one deemed racist, the other deemed race traitors or worse. Does the film leave us with any hope that Asian Americans can fight for our communities, without dismissing other communities of color? Maybe only from looking back at pioneers in history and imagining where we can still go in the future. But it's one of the most powerful documentaries of the year. We learned a lot from making this season, every time we revisited a moment where work was being done to find interracial solidarity, even if there were and will continue to be numerous missteps along the way. We hope you took away something useful from our season too. Happy new year from Saturday School, and here's to being more prepared for whatever 2021 brings.

Right now, movie theaters are temporarily closed, and we'll have to wait a while before we can all sit together again and look up at the big screen. But before the curtain dropped on moviegoing, Film Comment Editor-in-Chief Nicolas Rapold made his annual pilgrimage to the True/False Film Fest. True/False is a reliably energizing festival of nonfiction film, curating the best from around the world. It's also a place to take the Film Comment Podcast on the road, taking part in Toasted, the late-night event that closes out the festival. This year, Rapold spoke with another rotating lineup of filmmakers, critics, and film professionals, about movies at the festival as well as the nitty-gritty of filmmaking and working with people in front of and behind the camera. Among the films discussed are Garrett Bradley's Time; Khalik Allah's IWOW I Walk on Water; Ra'anan Alexandrowicz's The Viewing Booth; Daniel Hymanson's So Late So Soon; and Sky Hopinka's Malni: Towards the Ocean, Towards the Shore. Rapold was joined by an ever-changing lineup including Hymanson and Hopinka, critic Dessane Lopez Cassell, filmmaker Mustafa Rony Zeno, and more. Finally Please bear in mind that this was recorded before a live audience at Cafe Berlin. Special thanks to Em Downing of True/False for keeping the show running.

New Directors/New Films has always been a vital for, well, new directors and new films. Over the course of its nearly 50 years, the festival has introduced audiences to filmmakers like Spike Lee, Chantal Akerman, Bi Gan, Valerie Massadian, Gabriel Mascaro, RaMell Ross, and Kelly Reichardt. The 2019 edition continued in this tradition, bringing a bracing selection of films, many still without distribution, to screens in New York. This week, we take a closer look at ND/NF 2019, paying particular attention to a few of our favorites this year, including Clemency, Joy, Genesis, and Fausto, among others. Film Comment Editor in Chief Nicolas Rapold is joined by Rosa Morales, development and membership coordinator at SFFILM, Sebastian Rea, founder of the 30UNDER30 Film Festival, and Abby Sun, FC contributor and programmer at True/False Film Fest to reflect on this year's festival, and to dig a little deeper into some standout selections.

Anand Patwardhan is a filmmaker who has been making documentaries on the socio-political reality of India for over four decades. His latest film, a four-hour and twenty-minute epic titled "Reason," chronicles India's shift from secular democracy toward Hindu fundamentalism and was shown at this year's True/False Film Fest. Although audiences in Columbia were able to see the film, Patwardhan has been fighting to show it in India, where he has been stymied by government censorship. Patwardhan sat down with Poh Lin Lee (star, "Island of the Hungry Ghosts") to discuss the importance of speaking out during their Field Session at True/False 2019.

In the college town of Columbia, Missouri, the True/False Film Fest has grown to become one of the world's premiere showcases of cutting-edge nonfiction filmmaking. Film Comment Editor-in-Chief Nicolas Rapold returned to moderate “Toasted,” the festival's late-night wrap-up event in front of a live, very lively audience, abridged for clarity here as a Film Comment podcast. Rapold was joined by a superlative crew of critics, programmers, and filmmaking talent including Mara Gourd Mercado, general director of Montreal docfest RIDM; Tayler Montague, freelance critic and programmer; Chris Boeckmann and Abby Sun, programmers at True/False; Rok Bicek, director of The Family; and Ashley Clark, senior film programmer at BAMcinématek. The freewheeling discussion kicks off with Bicek discussing The Family before it moves on to Zhang Mengqi's Self-Portrait: Birth in 47 KM, Reece Auguiste's Twilight City and the Black Audio Film Collective retrospective, Khalik Allah's Black Mother, Leilah Weinraub's SHAKEDOWN, and many more documentaries.

With heavy heart, Bobby and Geoff say goodbye to "I'd See That" with a final recording done on the fly on a long walk back to their hotel during the True/False Film Festival in Columbia, MO.

The True/False Film Fest in Columbia, Missouri, reliably assembles a selection of the world's finest nonfiction film, tracking down surprises from smaller festivals across the globe and picking highlights from Sundance. This year, Film Comment traveled to Columbia for a long weekend of documentary and essay film—and hosted a festival recap at the festival's traditional closing-night spot, a waffle bar that doubles as a music venue. This special live edition of the Film Comment podcast features the critics Ela Bittencourt, a selection committee member for It's All True International Film Festival; Jordan Cronk, founder of the Acropolis Cinema in Los Angeles and co-founder of the Locarno in Los Angeles Film Festival; Aliza Ma, Head of Programming at Metrograph; and Nicolas Rapold, Editor of Film Comment. And, thanks to the open audience format of the event, a couple of filmmakers from the festival join the conversation to discuss the emotionally intimate work of editing and shooting documentary: Shevaun Mizrahi, director of Distant Constellation, about an Istanbul old folks home; and Sompot Chidgasornpongse, director of the Thai train system portrait Railway Sleepers who has been AD on films by Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

This is the latest installment of Harvest Public Media’s Field Notes , in which we talk about important issues related to food production. For more than a decade, fans of documentary film have flocked to Columbia, Mo., for the annual True/False Film Fest . The screenings start on Thursday. Many of this year’s films are set in big cities -- like Cairo, Rome and New York. But several works also focus on rural life. " Rich Hill " follows three teenagers growing up in a small Missouri community south of Kansas City. Jessica Oreck’s " The Vanquishing of the Witch Baba Yaga " uses animation and stunning scenes of everyday village life in Eastern Europe to tell the Slavic fairytale of Baba Yaga . The film is shot in Super 16. I spoke to Oreck from her home in New York a week before True/False. It was her first interview about "The Vanquishing of the Witch Baba Yaga ." There are many glimpses of farming in your documentary -- from sheep herding, to cutting grass with scythes, to mushroom
