There are a lot of critical details for the American space program to work out before a manned mission to Mars can possibly occur, from perfecting the science to organizing logistics to securing finances and more. The element PBS‘s newest documentary sheds an extraordinary new light on is the human condition factor — chiefly, how to safely separate a person from everyone and everything they love for the years upon years it’ll take to complete the mission. In Space: The Longest Goodbye, directed by Ido Mizrahy and premiering on PBS tonight, May 6, at 10/9c, it’s clear that NASA has to do much more than just crunch numbers to make any Mars adventure a reality. The documentary features testimonials from former and current astronauts as well as the agency’s resident psychologist, Dr. Al Holland, who is charged with finding a solution for keeping astronauts sane and productive while...

Down to the wire, awards movies are still being rolled out on digital platforms. Two cherished nominees — one an international film, the other a documentary — have debuted this week. Even though it won’t affect either movie’s Oscar odds (voting closed last week), their premieres should be a blessing to all the completists out there.
The contender to watch this week: “Perfect Days”
Three-time Oscar nominee Wim Wenders directed this sublime slice-of-life drama about an unassuming Tokyo janitor (Koji Yakusho) with a quiet daily routine that includes watering his seedlings, visiting the same stores and restaurants, and choosing a cassette tape to hear on his drive to work. “Perfect Days” follows two weeks in the protagonist’s life, one of which involves a series of disruptions that rattle his stasis. The movie will compete for Best International Feature Film at Sunday’s Oscars. It’s currently playing in a handful of theaters,...

So, what’s the hold up on humans going to Mars? Is it a technology issue? Is no one volunteering? Is it too dangerous? Is this all Elon Musk’s fault? Believe it or not, what’s stopping humans from going to Mars has little to do with any of those things. Sure, there are loads of physical dangers lurking around every proverbial corner, but if Ido Mizrahy’s “The Longest Goodbye” is anything to go by, the problem with humans getting to Mars is simply, and unsurprisingly, humans themselves.

Vienna-based Autlook Filmsales, one of the leading sales agents for documentaries, has acquired the feature-length documentary “Smoke Sauna Sisterhood,” ahead of its world premiere at Sundance Film Festival.
The film portrays the Estonian smoke sauna tradition, known as “savvusanna kombõ.” As well as telling the history of the smoke saunas as a place to give birth, director Anna Hints focuses on the women nowadays who come together in the saunas to share their secrets and intimate experiences.
“ ‘Smoke Sauna Sisterhood’ is a unique screening experience, best to watch with friends,” said Autlooks’ director of sales, Salma Abdalla. “Composed for the big screen, Anna Hints crafted a narrative that feels both extremely intimate and inclusive. The esthetically beautiful setting of a smoke sauna in the Estonian forests is filled with humanity, authenticity and humor.”
“No story too shameful, no burden too heavy to carry, when you share it with your sisterhood,...

You’d be hard-pressed to find a fictional representation of long-haul space travel that didn’t focus on the psychic weight of isolation and claustrophobia. It’s the seed of everything from Elton John’s “Rocketman” and David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” to movies like Moon and Alien to multiple episodes of The Twilight Zone and much of For All Mankind.
Maybe in the deepest reaches of the galaxy we’ll encounter instrument-damaging solar flares, colonizing aliens or whatever was happening in that movie with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence, but a more tangible threat may simply be loneliness.
Take Ido Mizrahy’s Sundance-premiering documentary The Longest Goodbye as a prequel, then, to every science fiction story ever told. An exploration of NASA’s real-life attempts to grapple with what was previously the terrain of whimsical fabulists, The Longest Goodbye suffers occasionally from access issues and insufficient time to expand on its most potent themes.

The inherent loneliness of deep space exploration is the foundation of The Longest Goodbye, filmmaker Ido Mizrahy’s latest documentary. Particularly as it concerns NASA’s looming deadline to have a mission blast off to Mars by 2033, Mizrahy explores how technology can aid astronauts in maintaining vital connections—to friends, family and Earth itself—and what scientific advancements are being made to preserve the social and emotional well-being of these intrepid explorers. Cinematographer Boaz Freund, who’s previously collaborated with Mizrahy, tells Filmmaker about shooting in the vast Utah desert, making Mars a character in the film and working with colorist Marc Boucrot.

“A Foray Into the Heart of Different Family Dynamics”: Editor Anouk Deschênes on The Longest Goodbye
While the prospect of traveling on a years-long expedition to Mars might seem like an alien scenario to most, Ido Mizrahy’s documentary The Longest Goodbye argues that we may have more in common with deep space astronauts than we think. Especially in the wake of Covid, we all know the feeling of being indefinitely estranged from loved ones, with only the Internet to aid us in our human quest for connection.

With NASA under “presidential orders” to land humans on Mars by 2033—and the industry titans of Silicon Valley rushing to make space exploration sexy again (not to mention cash in on that lucrative action)—it might be a good time to stop and ask not when our long-mission astronauts will launch, but rather who should be going and how they will survive. And not just physical survival, but mental and emotional, for even the Trekkiest among us may give pause before signing up for a years-long journey that requires relentless isolation, being stripped of any semblance of privacy and deprived of […]

In the next decade, NASA will send astronauts to Mars for the first time. So what’s no doubt a giant leap forward for mankind will also come at a cost for those of us still tethered to Earth and those explorers forced to isolate themselves for years en route to the red planet.
Director Ido Mizrahy (“Gored”) is up for the Grand Jury Prize at this year’s Sundance Film Festival in the World Cinema Documentary Competition for “The Longest Goodbye,” a nonfiction feature about space travel premiering on the festival’s opening night January 19.
Separated from Earth and unable to communicate with the ground in real-time throughout the three-year journey, NASA crew members will experience extreme isolation that could gravely affect their mental state and the mission. “The Longest Goodbye” follows a savvy NASA psychologist tasked with protecting these daring explorers, who are torn between their dream to...

In very few jobs across the world is it respectable to be aggressively bad at what you do. Factory workers don’t get raises if they routinely build faulty items. Doctors don’t get awards for surgically removing the wrong body part. However, if you’re Antonio Barrera, not only are you genuinely bad at what you’re paid to do, but there is a distinct honor and respect behind that very fact.
See, Barrera isn’t just a bullfighter. No, no, no. Barrera is the most gored bullfighter in modern history, particularly due to his style which ostensibly consists of him throwing himself in front of a bull in a perverse game of “chicken.” Gored 23 times resulting in 17 surgeries and as much mental scar tissue as he has physically, Barrera is the subject of a new documentary from director Ido Mizrahy, entitled Gored, a film that at its best,...

Meet Antonio Barrera, who has the strange distinction of being the most-gored bullfighter in modern history. He's been gored 23 times and undergone 17 surgeries. The documentary Gored looks at his final performance: Barrera has decided to retire after this final bullfight in León, Mexico, with his wife and daughter watching in the audience. Here's an exclusive look at the dramatic opening scene from Gored, where Barrera starts off the fight kneeling on the ground in front of the gate, which director Ido Mizrahy says is one of the most dangerous moves in bullfighting. Talk about a dramatic entrance. The film begins its run at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 16.

You might think Antonio Barrera has a death wish. From "Patrolman P" director Ido Mizrahy, "Gored" is a portrait of Barrera, who has been impaled 23 times as a bullfighter. He is preparing to face the bulls once again in this documentary headed for the Tribeca Film Festival. Rejected throughout his career and banished to the fringes of this brutal spectacle, Barrera is an underdog known to perform with reckless abandon, eager to confront death in his tragic quest for success.

That it’s the dawn of “De Blasio Time” in New York City probably won’t be making the NYPD very happy. Neither will Ido Mizrahy’s “Patrolman P,” a film premiering November 16 at Doc NYC which will inevitably be pegged as a kind of anti-“Serpico” story of police corruption, and also happens to be a movie ripe for the grand old dramatic feature remake.The core question -- Who would be the hero? Ido Mizrahy, the director of the archival-heavy “Patrolman P,” has a protagonist on his hands who’s considerably less than a paragon of virtue. William Phillips, who appeared before the Knapp Commission of the ‘70s (the same body that heard Frank Serpico’s testimony) was pressed into wearing a wire and ratting out his dirty colleagues after he was busted taking bribes -- from, among others, Xaviera Hollander, the celebrated “Happy Hooker” (who appears in...
