International Perspectives

Doubling in size from last year, this section has eight titles that take us around the globe, including:

The US premieres of Things Left Behind (dir. Linda Hoaglund) which focuses on a Japanese art exhibit about the atomic bomb; and The Traces of Dr. Ernesto Guevara (dir. Jorge Denti) which draws from Che Guevara’s personal journals to trace his second journey across Latin America in 1952-53.

Six NYC premieres: The Abominable Crime (dir. Micah Fink) examines violent homophobia in Jamaica. Brave Miss World (dir. Cecilia Peck) follows an Israeli former Miss World campaigning against sexual violence. The Manor (dir. Shawney Cohen) looks at a dysfunctional family that runs a Canadian strip club. The Road to Fame (dir. Hao Wu) captures Beijing students adapting the Broadway musical Fame. Touba (dir. Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi) uses breathtaking cinematography to document a Senegalese pilgrimage. The Stuart Hall Project (dir. John Akomfrah) blends Miles Davis music and eclectic archival footage to profile the British cultural theorist.
