The Dctv Firehouse Cinema – the impressive new venue for documentary film exhibition in Manhattan – will dedicate its lobby tonight in honor of late documentary filmmaker Brent Renaud.
Renaud’s brother, Craig Renaud, will emcee the private event alongside Dctv co-founder and co-executive director Jon Alpert. Additional family and friends of Renaud are expected at the tribute, which will include a presentation of excerpts from the director’s films, and a discussion of his work with guest speakers.
Renaud was on assignment in Ukraine in March for Time studios when a vehicle he was riding in came under fire from Russian forces at a checkpoint near Irpin, just outside of Kyiv. He was killed and another occupant of the car, photojournalist Juan Arredondo, was injured.

PBS’ “American Masters” series will chronicle the life and work of Dr. Anthony Fauci in the documentary “Tony – A Year in the Life of Dr. Anthony Fauci,” PBS president/CEO Paula Kerger announced on Wednesday. The doc, which the public broadcaster revealed during its portion of the Television Critics Assn. press tour, will air in spring 2023.
According to PBS, the doc followed Fauci for 14 months, starting with Inauguration Day 2021 — nearly a year into the Covid-19 pandemic, gaining access “in his office and in the corridors of power as he battles the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the political onslaught that upends his life and calls into question his 50-year career as the United States of America’s leading advocate for public health.”
“Tony – A Year in the Life of Dr. Anthony Fauci” will air on PBS after a planned theatrical release.

Lauren Wissot’s report from Little Rock last year was titled “Kicking Ass in Clintonland,” and certainly when it comes to varied programming and festival fun, this year was no different. I may have lacked the requisite dexterousness to tackle the über-fresh crawfish, and have yet to unwrap the talking action figure of Bill Clinton in my gift bag, but my schedule was quickly filled with activities from partying on one of Little Rock’s scenic bridges to popping into a workshop on the applications of Google Glass and 3D printing in film. Under the helm of brothers Brent and Craig Renaud […]...

The Directors Guild of America announced the nominees Wednesday for its documentary award, including two that examine aspects of the war in Iraq. The nominees are Kief Davidson and Richard Ladkani for The Devil's Miner, Werner Herzog for Grizzly Man, Sean McAllister for The Liberace of Baghdad, Rupert Murray for Unknown White Male, and Brent Renaud and Craig Renaud for Off To War: Welcome to Baghdad. "The best documentary filmmaking provides a look inside a particular place or time and leaves us feeling like we've been transported to it, as a real eyewitness," DGA president Michael Apted said. "These talented filmmakers have made provocative and challenging movies that demonstrate why audiences are increasingly attending and why distributors are releasing more documentary films theatrically." The winner will be announced at the 58th annual DGA Awards show on Jan. 28 at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles.
