A powerful and innovative documentary, Flee explores one of the most important issues of the 21st century through one individual’s story. It recounts the story of Amin Nawabi as he grapples with a painful secret he's kept hidden for 20 years, one that could threaten to derail the life he has built for himself and his soon-to-be husband. Depicted mostly through animation, the film shows Amin finally sharing the story of his extraordinary journey as a child refugee from Afghanistan with his close friend, Flee's director Jonas Poher Rasmussen. The film is Poher Rasmussen’s first foray into the realm of animated documentary, which boasts executive producers Riz Ahmed (Mogul Mowgli, Sound of Metal) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Headhunters), and made history when it became the first film ever to be nominated for the categories of Best International Feature Film, Best Documentary Feature and Best Animated Feature at the 2022 Academy Awards

French coming-of-age comedy exploring the complex relationship between a father and his teenage daughter. Gerard Depardieu stars as Andre, an estranged father who takes his teenage daughter Veronique (Marie Gillain) away on holiday. While they are away, Veronique begins to act strangely and, by spying on her, Andre finds that she is experiencing her first love and has created a convoluted story in which she has cast Andre as her much older lover. An English-language Disney remake was released three years later in 1994, with Depardieu reprising his role as Andre.

It is the defining cultural tale of modern America - a saga of race, celebrity, media, violence, and the criminal justice system. And two decades after its unforgettable climax, it continues to fascinate, polarize, and even, yes, develop new chapters. From Peabody and Emmy-award winning director Ezra Edelman, it's the almost 8 hour documentary production O.J.: Made in America. O.J. revisits - and redefines - it all. The domestic abuse. The police investigation. The white Bronco chase. The trial of the century. The motive, the blood, the glove. The verdict. The aftermath. Drawing upon more than seventy interviews, from longtime friends and colleagues of Simpson to the recognizable protagonists of the murder investigation to observers and commentators with distinct connections to the story, the docu-event is an engrossing, compelling, and unforgettable look at a tantalising saga. Because at the end of what seems like a search for the truth about O.J. Simpson, what's revealed just as powerfully is a collection of indelible, unshakeable, and haunting truths about America, and about ourselves. (Academy Award winner for: Best Documentary)
Werner Herzog directs this documentary about the creation of the Internet and the connected modern world it has spawned.

Academy Award-winning director Michael Moore is back with Where To Invade Next, a provocative and hilarious documentary in which Moore will stop at nothing to figure out how to actually make America great again. Just in time for election season, America's favorite political provocateur, Michael Moore, is back with his new film. Honored by festivals and critics groups alike, Where To Invade Next is an expansive, hilarious, and subversive comedy in which the Academy Award-winning director confronts the most pressing issues facing America today and finds solutions in the most unlikely places. The creator of Farenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine has returned with an epic movie that's unlike anything he has done before - an eye-opening call to arms to capture the American Dream and restore it in, of all places, America.
Benedikt Erlingsson directs this documentary about the history of travelling circus performers and cabaret acts.
Documentary exploring what life was like for classical musicians in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) after the division of Germany in 1945. Used to advertise the merits of the GDR, classical music was portrayed by the authorities as representative of a culture-loving working people, in direct contrast to the 'decadent', westernised pop music of the day. Those musicians who were not only gifted but also displayed the correct ideological values were able to enjoy privileges beyond the reach of the masses. Through interviews with musicians active at the time, both in the GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany (FDR), the film compares and contrasts the lives of those involved, and provides an insight into the way the political system influenced artistic life.
Award-winning documentary about former CIA and NSA employee Edward Snowden, who, in 2013, leaked classified information revealing a number of global surveillance programs.

The film won the Academy Award and BAFTA for Best Documentary. |
