The end of summer is an annual tragedy, but at least it means that you don't have to go to the cinema just for the air conditioning. With Venice ongoing and Tiff beginning tomorrow (Chris & Nathaniel are already on the ground), Film Festival Season is well and truly upon us. Arrving in early October for the 62nd time is the London Film Festival, the biggest one on my calendar and the one closest to my house. Amongst the glitzy galas and special presentations is a stellar programme and not just because I played a small part in programming the shorts this year.
Something that excites me in particular is the impressive lineup of the films in the Documentary Competition. And since I haven't got to see them yet, join in my excitement in a preview of some the titles, some of which are opening soon in the USA.

"A mining town without a mine is usually referred to as a ghost town." 4th Row Films has debuted the first official trailer for a documentary titled Bisbee '17, the latest doc from filmmaker Robert Greene. This premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year to rave reviews, many of which are quoted in this powerful trailer. The film tells the story of a mining town on the Arizona-Mexico border called Bisbee. In 1917, the town violently deported over 1,000 migrant workers. Greene gets the local townspeople to recreate this event in vivid detail in 2017, one hundred years later, and it's a chilling look at how the past has yet to be reconciled. This is a must see film for all documentary fans, as it's an impressive work that confronts "the current political predicaments of immigration, unionization, environmental damage and corporate corruption" with " haunting messages about solidarity and struggle." Here's ...
