Doc Stories Just Dropped Its Lineup – And Ava DuVernay Kicks It Off!
- Ava DuVernay’s "14th" opens the show!
- It’s the 12th annual Doc Stories festival.
- Lots of Oscar buzz for these films.
- Netflix is bringing some big names.
We just saw some amazing news for all you film buffs out there! The Doc Stories festival is back, and it’s their 12th time around. Get ready, San Francisco! The vibes are going to be electric.
Can you believe it? The incredible Ava DuVernay’s film, "14th," is opening the whole thing on November 5th. This powerful Netflix movie already made a splash at the New York Film Festival. It’s got a really striking visual style, telling a deep story that makes you think.
And get this – "14th" isn’t the only big hitter. It’s one of ten feature documentaries that might just win an Oscar! We’re talking serious contenders here. Other films like J.M. Harper’s “Soul Patrol” and Sam Pollard’s “Tutu” are also in the lineup.
It’s a huge deal for documentary lovers. Seriously. Thinking about all these films makes us wonder about the big world of movies. Speaking of big changes, remember when we talked about Netflix Film VP’s big exit? It just goes to show how much is always happening behind the scenes!
We also heard about other wild stories, like Salman Khan’s haunted room. Movies might be fiction, but some real-life stories are just as wild! We can’t wait to see what kind of honest, real-world aesthetics these documentarians bring to the screen.
Our Take
We think this lineup is fantastic. Doc Stories really knows how to pick them! Ava DuVernay opening the festival sets such a high bar. It’s a chance to see some truly thought-provoking art. We love how documentaries show us different parts of the world. Go check it out!
