Two MTV Documentary films vying for Academy Awards attention — Ondi Timoner’s “Last Flight Home” and Tanaz Eshaghian’s short “As Far as They Can Run” — garnered the top nonfiction honors at the 23rd annual Woodstock Film Festival.
“Last Flight Home,” about Timoner and her family’s last days with her father, won the best documentary prize, while “As Far as They Can Run,” about disabled children in rural Pakistan who have been deemed “useless” by their communities, took home the fest’s best short documentary award.
“Last Flight Home” premiered at Sundance earlier this year before opening the Telluride Film Festival in September. This year marked Timoner’s first time at the Woodstock fest.
“The greatest joy I have is sharing my work in person,” Timoner told Variety. “The reason I make films is to impact people and this film is doing that more than any other film I’ve made.

This is a follow-up to my post a little bit ago urging black filmmakers with mostly unseen feature films to contact me, so that we can profile their films here…
One of the films I received is called Jake Gets Paid, a 2009 film written and directed by Ed DuRante of The Leagues – the group of Nyu Mfa grads who brought you the feature film, 6 Things I Never Told You, which we’ve talked about previously on this blog, and which we screened here in New York City to packed houses. I actually profiled Jake Gets Paid on Shadow And Act last year, but the film disappeared soon thereafter, and I’d forgotten about it… until recently, with Ed telling me a week or so ago that he’s planning on self-releasing the film some time soon, hopefully; although it’ll be an extremely limited release, possibly followed by an online presence.
