DOC NYC, America’s biggest documentary film festival, has announced the main slate for its 15th anniversary! Running from November 13th-21st in Manhattan, the lineup will include 31 world premieres, 24 U.S. premieres, and four titles made in association with Goldcrest Post NY.
In ANXIETY CLUB, Emmy-winning producer Wendy Lobel makes her feature debut with this side-splitting, piercingly perceptive look at anxiety through a group of contemporary comedians who channel their experiences into their acts…and their everyday lives. Part therapy, part behind-the-scenes take on stand-up acts, and all-brilliant, Lobel’s revelatory film is a rarity.

ART SPIEGELMAN: DISASTER IS MY MUSE delves into the life and work of Art Spiegelman, the Queens-born artist who revolutionized comics by exploring dark, complex themes. Shaped by his Holocaust-survivor parents and inspired by MAD magazine’s irreverent satire, Spiegelman’s most famous work, MAUS, is a poignant Holocaust narrative that redefined the medium. The film showcases his resistance to fascism, from N***s to Trump, and features rich illustrations from his comics, highlighting his significant impact as an artist and cultural critic.

In FACING THE WIND, Linda and Carla each care for their beloved spouses who are living with Lewy body dementia. Eager to learn and share information with others, Linda starts a podcast with Curry, who has the disease, and a community of support groups begins to grow. Linda and Jim decide to go on an epic road trip, and Carla quits her job to devote her time to Patrick. As life becomes overwhelming, their online support group is a lifeline. Intimate, raw, and full of life, this moving portrait gracefully explores the stark realities of caregiving.

SURVEILLED uncovers the insidious ways in which our daily lives are being surveilled by the state. In a gripping chase, investigative journalist Ronan Farrow travels across the world following breadcrumbs and finally exposing a dark world of spywares, hacking, and peddling of private information, where activists and journalists are persecuted, and no one is protected from the watchful and vicious eyes of authoritarianism.

Rolling Stone calls Alex Ross Perry’s ‘Pavements’ “…Exactly the type of WTF rock doc the band deserves.” Merging documentary, biopic, and jukebox filmmaking, Perry delivers a “perfectly cracked” film that “capture[s] a band that refuses to be — or simply can’t be bothered with being — pinned down.”

Tracing narratives of key players in the industry, Acosta wanted to emphasize the rich history of music he grew up on, “It’s important to tell the story of reggaetón because I don’t know that people understand that impact or sometimes they think that it just got there overnight but it’s been generational at this point.”

Since the 1960s, documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman has explored complex social issues surrounding an array of American institutions.

Now, in participation with The Library of Congress, Zipporah Films has announced that after a five-year restoration and digitizing process, 33 of Wiseman’s feature films will make their way into theaters this year.

Negatives were scanned, conformed, color graded and then matched with the original sound to create 4K restored digital versions. Goldcrest colorist, Jane Tolmachyov, who has worked with Wiseman for decades, handled the grading of each film under the review and approval of Wiseman.

Beginning in fall of 2024, restorations of Wiseman’s paradigmatic filmography will be exhibited in retrospectives at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the American Cinematheque in Los Angeles and at Film at Lincoln Center in New York, in addition to many other exhibitions around the world.

Amazon original documentary ‘I Am: Celine Dion’ was graded by colorist Evan Anthony at Goldcrest Post, using DaVinci Resolve Studio.

DP Nick Midwig says, “The entire film was shot with natural lighting, which was important to me to portray Celine in a non manufactured way typically seen in celebrity music documentaries, so I had to lean on Evan quite a bit to help shape the visuals. What I love most about working with him is the fact that he is truly engaged with the subjects and uses the grade to help elevate the story.”

“It was important to keep the look we wanted of Celine and also show the memorabilia in its true colors,” Anthony noted, “This is not a typical celebrity documentary as it really shows Celine Dion in a very raw and vulnerable state. It’s a very personal look into a very public life.”

‘PAVEMENTS,’ Alex Ross Perry’s upcoming film about the 90’s indie rock band Pavement, will premiere at the 2024 Venice Film Festival on August 28th.
Alex Ross Perry says, “It’s a musical. It’s a museum. It’s a movie. It’s a mosaic. What if the music documentary can actually be a film? I asked this question in June of 2020 when I began talking about this project. I dunno, it’s a weird movie and I’ve never seen anything like it.”
