Editorial Reviews

Full Frame Documentary Shorts Vol. 4 brings together yet another fascinating collection of compelling and delightful short films from North America’s preeminent documentary film festival. With the help of The New York Times and a board that includes Martin Scorsese, Jonathan Demme, Ken Burns, and Barbara Kopple, The Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in Durham, North Carolina (www.fullframefest.org.) showcases over 100 ground-breaking documentaries over four days each year to audiences in sold-out theaters. Featuring a provocative selection, Full Frame Documentary Shorts Vol. 4 invites you back to the festival once more to experience the best in documentary shorts from around the world. MILES ABOVE (by Michael Welt) When the shuttle Columbia crashed from the sky it was documented from many points of and largely by amateurs. MILES ABOVE stitches these pieces together and experiments with a bold, new form of storytelling, presenting the final moments of the Columbia’s reentry. IN THE SHADOW OF EDEN (by Rachael Romero) In this spellbinding and haunting film, filmmaker Rachel Romero comes to grips with the abuse she suffered at the hands of her religion-fixated father while growing up in rural Australia. GOOD MORNING YOKOHAMA (by Satoshi Ono) A visually poetic and humorous meditation that captures rush hour in one Japanese city as a horde of workers funnel through turnstiles and jockey for their position aboard trains. SMALL TOWN SECRETS (by Katherine Leggett) A poignant gem, filmmaker Katherine Leggett deftly weaves together home movies, photographs, phone conversations and web cam footage to tell this personal story of growing up with closeted gay parents in a small Midwestern town. CHEEKS (by Tal Sharon and Daniel Barcelowsky) Meet Joe Cheek: folk musician, retro-fashion plate and dedicated son of two paranoid schizophrenic fundamentalists. Part Edgar Allen Poe, part David Lynch, CHEEKS draws on our gothic fascination with families in decay. GOOD TIMES (by Alessandro Cassigoli & Dalia Castel) Winner of the 2005 Full Frame Jury Award for Best Short Film, GOOD TIMES traces the evolution of Israel’s security wall that runs through the center of Abu Dis. Through candid interviews with Palestinian locals and Israeli soldiers, the film exposes the effect of the wall on their daily lives.
