Street artist scoops most entertaining documentary prize at Grierson Trust British Documentary Awards
Street artist Banksy has won the most entertaining documentary prize at this year's Grierson Trust British Documentary Awards.
As usual, he did not appear in person to collect the award for Exit Through the Gift Shop– an amusing faux documentacoops prizery – but sent a message to the audience at the ceremony in London tonight.
Jury chairman Emma Hindley said: "The winner was a unanimous decision. It's a flawlessly made film; original and insightful, it asks questions rather than telling you what to think and at the same time, manages to be very, very funny."
The best documentary series went to Patrick Forbes for Channel 4's insight into Hampshire Constabulary in The Force, while Julian Temple's look at industrial and economic decline of America's Motor City in Requiem for Detroit for BBC2 won best historical documentary.

Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe’s infamous ‘Hitler Speech’ of March 2003 caused an onslaught of violence against domestic opponents. So much so that an outraged George W. Bush froze all assets of Mugabe and many of his supporters. Mugabe’s words, quoted by reporter, Peta Thornycroft in the March 26, 2003, Telegraph.Co.UK, are in direct response to accusations by the British press that Mugabe’s political actions are comparable to those of Adolf Hitler:
“This Hitler has only one objective: justice for his people, sovereignty for his people, recognition of the independence of his people and their rights over their resources. If that is Hitler, then let me be a Hitler tenfold.”
This speech, reverberating in Mugabe’s own voice, forms a backdrop for the brilliantly disturbing new documentary “Mugabe and the White African” by newcomers Lucy Bailey and Andrew Thompson. It is no surprise that the film is shortlisted for an Oscar and should,...

A documentary about a white farmer who stood up to Robert Mugabe's land reforms is shocking but doesn't give the full picture
Foreign journalists working undercover in Zimbabwe know a tap on the shoulder from a man in uniform can mean a nightmarish spell in jail. Operating with notebook, pen and a quiver full of awkward questions is perilous enough, but British filmmakers Lucy Bailey and Andrew Thompson upped the ante by smuggling large-format film equipment into the country for their documentary Mugabe and the White African, which receives its TV debut on More4 next week.
The eponymous Mugabe is the president Robert Mugabe, who has ruled Zimbabwe with an iron fist for 30 years. The eponymous white African is Mike Campbell, a septuagenarian farmer at the sharp end of Mugabe's chaotic land reform programme.
Mugabe began seizing white-owned farms in 2000, claiming such shock treatment was necessary to right colonial wrongs and empower landless black people.

The film Mugabe and the White African puts a heroic gloss on the colonial attitudes that endure in independent Zimbabwe
The documentary Mugabe and the White African, directed by Lucy Bailey and Andrew Thompson, received a four-star review in the Guardian. It is an account of Michael Campbell, one of the few white farmers left in Zimbabwe after Robert Mugabe and Zanu-pf began a violent land seizure programme in 2000. It portrays the 75-year-old Campbell's struggle to resist the unlawful seizure of his Mt Carmel Farm by Nathan Shamuyarira, a senior Zanu-pf politician.
In 2008 Campbell, assisted by his son-in-law Ben Freeth, successfully challenged Mugabe before the South African Development Community international court, charging his government with human rights violations and racial discrimination. The documentary is an emotionally charged depiction of the court case, and does not spare the viewer bloody footage and violence. "It resonates internationally because it is about big issues of human rights.

The film tackles an interesting question: when Goliath gets sued, how does David pay for his lawyers?
Last week, Lucy Bailey and Andrew Thompson's superb documentary Mugabe and the White African appeared, about an elderly white Zimbabwean farmer's battle with the racist bullying of the Mugabe government.
Here is another piece of factual cinema, from seasoned American documentarist Joe Berlinger, but with a more conventional liberal bogeyman: a big oil corporation. It does, however, tackle an interesting question neglected by Bailey and Thompson in their Mugabe documentary: namely, when Goliath gets sued, how does David pay for his lawyers?
This is the story of a class-action lawsuit taken out against Chevron, by the Ecuadorians living in the Amazon rainforest. Their case is that, in drilling there for oil in the 1970s, Chevron's former incarnation, Texaco, presided over horrific continuous oil spills poisoning a vast area. When Ecuador's state oil...

Film Weekly gets 2010 off to a blistering start with actor Andy Serkis, who has gone from playing Gollum and King Kong to inhabiting the skin and withered limb of the late Ian Dury in Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll. Serkis tells Jason Solomons about channelling the spit and fury of the uncompromising late 70s jazz-punk warrior, and how bringing Dury to life on the big screen forced him to dig deep into his skills as an artist, actor and musician. Serkis also discusses his return to playing Gollum in The Hobbit and why motion-capture technology will never put actors out of work.

The Road (15)
(John Hillcoat, 2009, Us) Viggo Mortensen, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Robert Duvall. 113 mins
Looking for something cheery and sunny to usher those winter blues away? Well this sure as hell ain't it. In fact, "hell" is a pretty good description for this adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's post-apocalypse bleakfest. Hell frozen over, through which Mortensen and son are condemned to wander, cold and hungry, as some of the few survivors of an unnamed global catastrophe – the rest are mostly marauding gangs or pathetic vagrants. Somehow, though, the effect is less devastating on screen than it was on the page. It's difficult to do justice to McCarthy's prose, and one post-apocalyptic movie landscape looks much like another. Still, it's a sustained exercise in panoramic grimness, and we don't need it to be too devastating, do we?

While I've yet to see the doc myself (I reference Claire Denis' White Material when I think of what the film might hold narratively), when the Cinema Eye Honor Noms were released I was surprised to see that, despite the positive buzz, Lucy Bailey and Andrew Thompson's Mugabe and the White African only manage to grab one nomination. Clearly the film is a favorite for the 2009 edition of the Ida Awards - it picked up three nominations in the Feature Documentary, ABCNews VideoSource Award an the Pare Lorentz Award categories. - While I've yet to see the doc myself (I reference Claire Denis' White Material when I think of what the film might hold narratively), when the Cinema Eye Honor Noms were released I was surprised to see that, despite the positive buzz, Lucy Bailey and Andrew Thompson's Mugabe and the White African only manage to grab one nomination.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed their list of the final group of 15 films that will contend for the Best Documentary Feature award this week, and with said announcement comes a twinge of bittersweetness. On one hand, the very powerful documentary The Cove -- a Sundance premiere that takes on the brutal killing of dolphins in Japan -- did make it to the final 15, as did the sensational SXSW pic Garbage Dreams and the incredibly fascinating food industry doc Food Inc. On the other hand, fan (and critic) favorite Anvil! The Story of Anvil -- the energetic, sad story of one of the most famous rock bands that you've never heard of -- was curiously missing from the list, as was multi-Oscar nominee Michael Moore's latest film Capitalism: A Love Story, a doc about our current financial crisis. While Michael Moore has had his date with Oscar, his...

I’m sure if you analyze and dissect the rules for eligibility, you’ll find some kind of loophole that kept films like Capitalism: A Love Story, Anvil!: The Story Of Anvil, and Crude off this list of finalists for Best Documentary Feature.
Maybe it’s not based on eligibility at all. Maybe those movies just didn’t make the cut, which, in my opinion, and a lot of other people’s, as well, is a shame. This isn’t even taking into account some of the festival docs that didn’t make the cut, films like Pulling John, We Live In Public, and The Yes Men Fix The World. Politics wins out once again (as if there was every going to be a question of it), and here are the list of 15 films that have moved on in the voting process:

Dave here with Tuesday's report from the London Film Festival, and it's been my best day yet. Excited?
What is love? It's an age-old question, and you can probably guarantee someone's already made some sort of documentary on the subject. But that doesn't stop filmmaker Nicholas Jasenovec and comedienne Charlyne Yi from giving it their own shot. Paper Heart is a self-conscious quirky film that mixes actual documentary footage of Yi's journey around America interviewing various people on how they'd define love with a strange interpolated story of Jasenovec (actually played by Jake Johnson) picking up on the romantic seeds between Yi and Michael Cera (as 'himself') and filming every aspect of their blossoming relationship to see if Yi finally succumbs to this mysterious thing called love. This latter thread is really quite strange in how transparently fake it is, and it seems quite unnecessary when the interviewees provide much more entertainment,...
