The night before this years DOC NYC here are a few quick notes:

 A few Last Minute Notes on DOC NYC coverage:

As this posts I have reviews of approximately 51 films set to go  for the festival either as new reviews or links in the curtain raiser.

I have access to another 35 films in the press portal.  I have  tickets to two films in person (I’m waiting to see what else I can get tickets to). More will be added.

Because of the way things fell coverage will come close to embargos- though the stuff that I’m seeing in the portal will be later.

I am largely flying solo this year so bear with me.

A few additional titles for the must see list:

G21- one man’s portrait of the neighborhood he grew up and the dangerous life he is trying to flee. It is a portrait of a man, a neighborhood and a society that will rock your world.

PLUNDERER is a look at a man who helped the Nazi’s plunder the art of Europe and how he essentially got away with it. It’s a killer look at what happened and the place of art in the world.

OUT OF PLAIN SIGHT is one of the best of the year and the fest. It’s a look how thousands of containers of DDT were dumped into the ocean 10 miles from Los Angeles and how they are leaking polluting the water, killing the fish and potentially ourselves because it’s in the fish we eat. It’s a chilling tale you need to see.
