Phoebe Brush, a programmer for the
Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, chimes in with her
Real to Reel picks below. In the past year, I've enjoyed two collaborations with Full Frame. Last fall, they co-presented an evening with documentary pioneer
Richard Leacock at the Stranger Than Fiction series I host in New York City. Then at their festival in April, I presented the first annual
Garrett Scott Documentary Development Grant to
first time filmmakers Robin Hessman and Lee Lynch. The award is in memory of
Scott, who died of a heart attack last year at the age of 37. He presented his first film
Cul de Sac: A Suburban War Story (pictured) at TIFF 02.
Here are Phoebe's picks:
THE DICTATOR HUNTER
Full
Frame screened Klaartje Quirijns? provocative film The Brooklyn Connection in 2005. I am eager to see her take on the brutal regime of
Hissène Habré.
PLEASE VOTE FOR ME
I missed this at Silverdocs and have heard terrific things about it.
ENCOUNTERS AT THE END OF THE WORLD
This seems redundant amidst so many Herzophiles but I would be lying if I said it wasn?t my number one pick.
