Today we are highlighting some of the remarkable documentaries screening in our Virtual Cinema.

COLLECTIVE
Following journalists who investigate what happens after a deadly fire in a Bucharest nightclub, Alexander Nanau’s revelatory documentary is a powerful indictment of governmental corruption and a tribute to those working tirelessly to uncover the truth.

TIME
Director Garrett Bradley won a Best Directing award at Sundance for painting this mesmerizing portrait of the resilience and radical love necessary to prevail over the endless separations of the country’s prison-industrial complex.

I AM A TOWN
Provincetown artist Mischa Richter crafts a gorgeous love letter to the free-spirited Massachusetts community his family has called home for nearly 100 years, a lyrical meditation on the personalities that define this seaside community.

GUNDA
In a remarkable feat of vérité filmmaking, Victor Kossakovsky gently immerses us in intimate, unspooling encounters with two clever cows, a one-legged chicken, and the majestic Gunda—the eponymous mother sow who has recently given birth to a rambunctious bunch of piglets.

Documentary Shorts in Competition
Featuring an array of powerful subjects, the Short Documentary Competition honors new and distinctive voices in documentary filmmaking. The winner will qualify for consideration at the Academy Awards®.
