The German festival is taking place as a hybrid event from October 26-November 1.
Running as a hybrid festival, Germany’s 63rd Dok Leipzig (October 26-November 1) is the first under new artistic director Christoph Terhechte, an ex-critic who was head of the Berlinale’s Forum section from 2001-2018 and artistic director of Marrakech International Film Festival for its 2018 and 2019 editions.
Terhechte took up the post at the start of the year, just before coronavirus took hold. This is one of the oldest documentary festivals in the world but none of his predecessors have had to put together a programme in the face of a pandemic.

Other victorious films stealing focus at the “live” awards ceremony held in Bologna include The Earth is Blue as an Orange and Self Portrait. On the same day that Italian movie-theatres were re-opened post-Covid (15 June), the Biografilm Festival also returned to the cinema, handing out “in person” the awards of its 16th edition, which this year unspooled online. Bologna’s Pop Up Cinema Medica Palace was the setting in which the winning films of the Festival - an event which attracted over 45,000 bookings in the Biografilm Hera Theatre’s virtual cinema - were finally announced last night. Biografilm 2020’s International Competition jury, composed of Luca Ragazzi (director and film critic), Shelly Silver (artist and video-artist) and Martijn te Pas (festival programmer and documentary specialist), awarded the trophy for Best Film to Janna Ji Wonders’ Walchensee Forever and the Best First Work gong to Iryna Tsilyk’s The Earth is Blue as.
This piece is one part loving obituary and one part urgent call-to-action around the undeniable need for our independent film industry to put some sort of safety nets in place for our beloved and aging indie film leadership. Ironically, when I wrote this piece just two months ago, who could have imagined that the topic of safety nets would become so important to All Of Us given the ways in which our industry has been so dramatically halted and upended by the #Coronavirus public health pandemic?By Marc Smolowitz

For context, I am currently developing a new film as a director on these topics, and I hope to gather steam among key indie film organizations in the coming months, so we can all come together (either online or in-person when safe to do so) to create new programs and initiatives that help build safety nets for the most vulnerable in our industry.

Probably the least celebrated (and advertised) film category, the documentary, nevertheless, can offer as much entertainment as any movie, and in the process, educate, remind, analyze and present issues that the rest of genres would not even dream of touching.
This year’s selection focuses on diversity once more, as it includes themes that range from mountain climbing and book cover design to idol groups and the sociopolitical situation in a number of countries, while also featuring films about food and drinks.
Without further ado, here are the Best Asian (themed) Documentaries of 2019, in alphabetical order, as we felt that the subjects and cinematic approaches are so different, that any kind rating would be futile. Some may have premiered in 2018, but since they mostly circulated in 2019, we decided to include them.

“The body shivers from an excess of critical distance.”
Although it is already difficult to define your role in this world, it is perhaps even more challenging to think of finding a meaningful link with the world around you. At first the task may seem banal to some, but considering the constant stream of information and images our world offers us on a daily basis, this connection becomes not only important but also an ever-changing concept. The simple question of how we fit into this world and what this “we” actually is as well as what the “I” can contribute is complex and yet necessary to find an answer too. For artists like Shelly Silver finding an answer motivates her work, and thus her films such as “A Tiny Place That is Hard to Touch”.
In the documentary a Japanese woman tells the story of her work for an American woman translating interviews.

Shelly Silver’s “A Tiny Place That Is Hard To Touch” premiered at the Forum Expanded Selection of Berlinale Film Festival.
An American woman hires a Japanese woman to translate her interviews about Japan’s declining birthrate. She wants to analyze the situation of Japanese women and compare the mechanisms that oppress them with other nations. Having prejudices about the counterpart, they start arguing and her investigation about cultural identity is halted. But the reluctance shifts into lust. As the story drifts from a factual discussion about Japanese society to an erotic tale, the narrator dismisses reality and tells us a fictional dystopia. The frame of the narration opens up, combines past, present, and future.
“A Tiny Place That Is Hard To Touch” appears to me as a radio drama. The storytelling is done by the voice of Saori Tsukada. We never see her, but her voice is unfolding the images in our imagination.

Taking place from April 8-13, the 31st edition of the Dortmund | Cologne International Women’s Film Festival will have it’s main program in the city of Cologne. A small selection will be seen in Dortmund as well. A total of 106 films from 37 countries will be screened and about 60 international filmmakers are going to be guests in Cologne. The festival will also be putting on a number of events that go beyond what a normal visit to the cinema has to offer. Events intended to spark a critical response to the medium of film via a number of formats – panel discussions, talks and workshops for cinema aficinados and film-makers alike.
Five Germany Premieres Compete for €10,000 Prize
A total of eight exceptional debut feature films will be screened in Cologne, having been short-listed from the 120 international film debuts of the last two years. Of that eight, the festival will present five of them as firsts for Germany – including, as the opening film, the award-winning tragicomedy The Amazing Catfish from Mexico. The other nominees are: Talea (Austria), The Magnetic Tree (Chile), Sense of Humor (France), Matei Child Miner (Romania), Marussia (Russia/France), Under the Starry Sky (Senegal/France) – and The Plague (Spain). Mostly seen against the backdrop of the global economic crisis, shot with stunning visuals and told with surprising concision, these are stories of childhood, family, identity and belonging.
The Jury for this edition will be formed by Kim Yutani, programmer at the Sundance Film Festival, Turkish director Pelin Esmer ( 10 to 11, Watchtower) and German actress Julia Hummer (Gespenster, Top Girl)
Focus: Turkey
At the Cologne location of the Dortmund|Cologne International Women's Film Festival, the spotlight is always on the cinematic oeuvre of a particular region or country. This year, the encounter is with Turkey and its women filmmakers.
The Country Focus zooms in on the ongoing demonstrations and protest movements organized by Turkish citizens since the end of May 2013 against the authoritarian policies of the governing party in Turkey. The program thus sets out to analyze the concepts and definitions of home and identity and to examine to what extent current protests had already been anticipated there in the films of recent years.
Divided into ten programs the festival will present feature films, documentaries and short films from 2004 to 2013 as well as the historic feature film Dönüs (The Return 1972) by and with the great Turkish actress Türkan Soray.
Filmmakers and experts like Deniz Akçay, Pelin Esmer, Serpil Turhan, Rüya Arzu Köksal Kudu, Aysun Bademsoy, Lale Akgün, Mely Kiyak, Can Erdogan, Emel Celebi, Sedef Özge and Güliz Saglam will also be guests. Two panel discussions, a master class with Yeşim Ustaoğlu and the photo exhibition "Tarlabasi - On the Edge of Transformation"round off the programme as a whole.
Let Your Light Shine - The Panorama section
Beyonce, Vulva 3.0 and other top-rate film discoveries. Panorama showcases 45 new, challenging and entertaining films from 28 countries.
Fiction, documentary, essay, avant-garde, experimental films and all the shorter formats: there are no formal restrictions on the Panorama Section and all lengths of movie are welcome. This year, 13 long films and 32 short to medium-length films are on view, including a good few premieres for Germany.
In the course of the selection process, it is the attitude of the women film-makers, the way they represent people in their films and the effect so generated that play an important role. Yet even though the Panorama section attempts to do full justice to the variety of artistic forms of expression, documentary and experimental films are given some priority. Among these are films like Perfect Garden by Mara Mattuschka, Touch by Shelly Silver, Noor by Cagla Zencirci, My Love Awaits Me By The Sea by Mais Darwazah and Rock the Casbah by Laïla Marrakchi and a film program & live performance by Jodie Mack, just to mention a few...

It’s four days of experimental media madness in the Sunshine State when the 7th annual Florida Experimental Film/Video Festival — also known as Flex Fest — runs in Gainesville on Feb. 17-20. The majority of the festival will take place at the Top Secret Space, with the exception of a Saturday afternoon screening of all 35mm films at the Hippodrome State Theater.
This year’s judges for the festival are film preservationist Mark Toscano and filmmaker Vanessa Renwick, both of whom will open the fest with two curated programs. First, Toscano will be screening several rare underground films from the late ’50s to the early ’70s, from filmmakers such as Fred Worden, David Bienstock, Chris Langdon and more. Then, Renwick will screen several of her own short documentaries, including the wonderfully eerie Britton, South Dakota and the touching 9 is a secret. These are two events that really are not to be missed.

New York City government officials have pleaded with U.S. TV bosses to not relocate the filming of Tom Selleck's crime series "Blue Bloods" to Toronto, amid reports the planned move would cost the city $60 million in revenue losses. Bosses of the hit CBS network show planned to move filming to the Canadian area, which often serves as a cost-effective stand-in for New York, after learning the city and state's film tax credit had expired.
The show's relocation was predicted to cost millions and result in the loss of 600 to 1,000 jobs. State Assembly Speaker Shelly Silver moved quickly to win over CBS CEO Les Moonves in a bid to halt the move, promising the mayor's office, Governor David Paterson and the state Legislature would ensure "Blue Bloods" would get its tax credit, which would be retroactive to the start of production.
According to the New York Daily News, Silver's plight was successful.

I'm back. I'm back. So: Having been away and out of touch, I know nothing. However - and this is a really large major however - a veryveryvery key major person close in the Yankee hierarchy called me. Personally. Twice. To tell me: "Alex Rodriguez's wife has not been running off having a gay old time in Paris. She's 'heartbroken' at his playing around with Madonna." That's the person's exact word: "heartbroken." Also: "She's the mother of a 3-year-old child and is devastated at people saying these things about her." From someone who is veryveryvery close to the situation. Maybe not as close as Madonna.
