  No Other Land 2024

  Watched 15 Mar 2025

  The camera doesn't lie. It's our most powerful weapon... if we accept and act on what is clearly shown. Shame on the major U.S. distributors for silencing this message by not picking this up. Thank you Basal and Yuval for your bravery. Free palestine!

  Flow 2024

  I could not get over the animals knowing how to steer a boat. That aside, this was so so heartwarming. So much shown without a single word.

  The Last Repair Shop 2023

  Watched 26 Jan 2024

  I have found Ben’s past work too formulaic for my taste, but this is an exception. These interviews are so intimate and moving. I’m sure the composer and co-director Kris Bowers had a large hand in making this feel as authentic as it did. This is Oscar-worthy.

  The Last Ranger 2024

  Watched 15 Feb 2025

  My favorite of this year’s Oscar short noms. A slow scene by candlelight morphed into a haunting adventure I didn’t see coming.
