We have the Documentary short list for the upcoming Oscars. Our friend Kristopher Tapley over at In Contention for the following hookup:
“At the Death House Door”
“The Betrayal (Nerakhoon)”
“Blessed Is the Match: The Life and Death of Hannah Senesh”
“Encounters at the End of the World”
“Fuel”
“The Garden”
“Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts”
“I.O.U.S.A.”
“In a Dream”
“Made in America”
“Man on Wire”
“Pray the Devil Back to Hell”
“Standard Operating Procedure”
“They Killed Sister Dorothy”
“Trouble the Water”
Of the above I have seen I.O.U.S.A. This means I need to hunt down the other 14 and check them out. I find the average documentary to be more interesting than the average film these days. Sadly it isn’t always easy to see these films if they aren’t playing in your city.
If any of you have seen films from the above list – please give us your own recommends!
