Director Matthew Heineman’s harrowing documentary chronicles the initial surge of Covid-19 infections in New York City between March and June 2020.

This intense documentary centers on the teaming up of its filmmakers, a drama therapist, and a group of men who survived child sexual abuse at the hands of Catholic priests.

An uplifting film that follows a local elder with a passion, Masamoto Ueda and his ramen noodle bar in Tokyo. There is no lack of mouthwatering close-ups that will have audiences anticipating their next meal.

Almost four decades in the making, this affectionate film is an illuminating portrait and a touching story of a friendship that developed between the filmmaker and his subject.

A thoroughly entertaining and insightful documentary, even if it’s not the definitive biography of the band.

Set away from prying eyes, the film boldly explores how three teenage girls exist in a veritable minefield of sorts.

Once more, the Rossellini family is a gift to filmmakers, while another documentary tells all on an important figure in photographic history.

The festival has continued with an adjustment it made last year. It will continue to offer the bulk of its programming online for U.S. viewers from November 19-28.

A lively portrait of how good local journalism reflects the lives of those who read it.
