The festival includes films about Christopher Reeve, NYC psychics, hummingbirds, Ani DiFranco, the opioid crisis and more.
She ought to know: Sitney was director of Washington’s premiere showcase of documentary film, AFI Docs , for eight years, before, co-directing that Washington-based festival of investigative nonfiction film through 2022. When AFI Docs paused operations indefinitely that year, Sitney and PR executive Jamie Shor stepped into the vacuum created by AFI Docs’ absence, throwing together an entirely new festival.
Shor adds that the Reeve film shares a theme of universality with the fest’s other marquee offerings: “Luther: Never Too Much,” about the late R&B singer Luther Vandross. Shor says these four stories are where “we invite the totality of our audience in, and then invite them to look behind the curtain at other issue areas that may not be commonly shared.”Relax, says Shor.
Film festivals are normally about the completed product. “We rarely get a look at what is actually a much more common experience for many people in this creative space,” Sitney says, “which is the messy middle.” Sitney calls the hybrid work “almost a performance of the failure to succeed. It’s self-deprecating, but it also reveals some of the systemic problems of the industry.”The WNBA is exploding. But for TV rights, the NBA is still in charge.
