Above: TimeCalling 2020 a strange year for films is a polite understatement. In a matter of weeks, the pandemic changed moviegoing (and movie-watching) as we knew them: cinemas closed, blockbusters were postponed, festivals turned digital, all while the theatrical window shrunk, and streaming platforms became the ultimate destination for an ever-growing number of releases. Which is why browsing through the “Best Films” lists of this annus horribilis is such an eye-opening experience. It is not to weigh the consensus around this or that title that one turns to them, but to question how the changes in our viewing habits may influence the kind of films we’ll watch and talk about moving forward. “As usual,” Eric Kohn contends at IndieWire, “anyone who thinks this was a bad year for movies simply didn’t see enough of them.” Despite these dire challenges and the uncertainty of the future, the cinema remained very much alive throughout the year,...

Beanpole (Kantemir Balagov)
The horrors of war are often told through male-centric narratives. Heroes who go through hell on the battlefield, brothers who sacrifice everything for each other, soldiers who return home scarred for life etc., all of which we’ve seen put on the big screen time and again. But wars are of course collective nightmares, tears in the fabric of history that leave no one–men, women, children–unscathed. This is the premise of Russian writer–director Kantemir Balagov’s second feature Beanpole, a radical relationship drama that examines the trauma of war from a distinctly female perspective. – Zhuo-Ning Su (full review)

"Eminently pleasurable to watch." NYC's Museum of the Moving Image has debuted an official trailer for an indie film titled Feast of the Epiphany, described as a "formally ingenious docu-fictional diptych" about the aspects of day-to-day existence and the importance food plays into our lives. This initially premiered at BAMcinemaFest last year, playing at a few small festivals, only now getting a NYC debut at MoMI coming up soon. Feast of the Epiphany is the first Reverse Shot film production, made by Michael Koresky, Jeff Reichert, and Farihah Zaman. An "uncommonly sensitive, unified rumination on the ways people form and choose communities, collaborations, and support groups in the face of hardship, labor, and loss." I wish this trailer gave us a better taste of what to expect, as there's not much here that's compelling. Take a look below. Here's the trailer (+ poster) for Koresky & Reichert & Zaman's Feast of the Epiphany,...

After premiering at BAMCinemaFest last year, the feature directorial debut from the Reverse Shot team Jeff Reichert, Michael Koresky, and Farihah Zaman will be getting a theatrical release starting at Museum of the Moving Image this month. A fascinating blend of narrative and documentary, Feast of the Epiphany follows a wintertime dinner party that transitions to an unexpected place that still holds compelling connections to the story of the first half. Ahead of a Thanksgiving release, the first trailer has now arrived.
Ryan Swen said in our review, “This joint venture feels entirely unexpected. Through a two-part structure that implicitly exists in point-counterpoint, Feast of the Epiphany continually surprises and works to innovate the viewer’s understanding of what “narrative” cinema can communicate. To say much regarding the specific contents of its second half would concede something intended as a surprise, but, in the simplest terms possible, it constitutes a radical shift in location,...

The year is winding down, which means many of our most-anticipated films and festival favorites will finally be arriving in theaters. Featuring biopics that break the mold, first and final features by female directors with distinct visions, crime dramas of varying scales, and much more, check out our monthly highlights below.
15. Ford v. Ferrari (James Mangold; Nov. 15)
After spending much of the past decade enmeshed in the world of superheroes, director James Mangold’s next film finds him going back half-a-century to capture a key moment in automotive history. Christopher Schobert said in our Tiff review, “James Mangold’s Ford v Ferrari is, in a word, sturdy. It’s the kind of airtight drama that could never be called groundbreaking or even original. But it offers ample pleasures in performance—from stars Matt Damon and Christian Bale—and design. While it could be a bit nastier, this is unquestionably intense grade-a Hollywood entertainment.

Netflix has acquired the worldwide rights to the short documentary “Ghosts of Sugar Land,” which premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
Bassam Tariq directed the pic, which he also co-wrote with Thomas Niles.
The doc is set in Sugar Land, Texas, and follows a group of young Muslim American men who ponder the disappearance of their friend Mark, who is suspected of joining Isis.
Farihah Zaman and Tariq are also producers on the film.
Following its critically acclaimed opening, the doc was awarded the short film jury award: non-fiction at the Sundance Film Festival this year. The film can next be seen at SXSW and the True/False Film Festival.
Netflix has continued to be aggressive in producing and acquiring documentaries, including “End Game,” “Period. End of Sentence,” and the popular feature “Fyre,” which gave a behind-the-scenes look at how the infamous Fyre Festival imploded. It also has...

In “Feast of the Epiphany,” a narrative-documentary hybrid, the line between fiction and reality is demarcated quite clearly, even as those two modes remain in constant dialogue — and the conceit is entrancing precisely because of its elusiveness. Beginning as the overtly make-believe story of a dinner party before segueing into surprising verité terrain, this unique feature from directors Michael Koresky, Jeff Reichert and Farihah Zaman is too unconventional to court more than an art-house audience. Still, those interested in experimental works that incite contemplation and debate will find much to chew on throughout the course of this concise, canny effort, which recently premiered at BAMcinemaFest.
Koresky and Reichert are the co-founders of Reverse Shot, an online New York film journal to which Zaman is a contributor. Koresky is also director of editorial and creative strategy at the Film Society of Lincoln Center, and Reichert and Zaman co-directed 2013 doc “Remote Area...

The history of film critics contributing to or creating actual films is long and storied. From the groundbreaking works of Cahiers du cinéma writers that made up the French New Wave to Susan Sontag’s little-seen Duet for Cannibals to James Agee’s screenplay for The Night of the Hunter to Eugene Archer’s acting appearance in La Collectionneuse, they have frequently played a direct role in the process of crafting a feature-length film. While this is no guarantee of quality, it allows viewers to dissect not just a filmmaker’s predilections but also their particular, characteristic translation of pre-established ideas on movies to the narrative and visual form.

In 1985, philanthropist Stan Brock founded Remote Area Medical, a charity intended, according to the title card that opens Jeff Reichert and Farihah Zaman's exceptional documentary, "to bring free medical care to inaccessible regions of the Amazon rainforest." Today the majority of their work is concentrated somewhere rather less secluded: the United States.
The film makes clear why. In April 2012, Ram volunteers descended upon Bristol, Tennessee, to orchestrate an elaborate three-day clinic at the Bristol Motor Speedway, the city's gargantuan Nascar stadium. Many hundreds of Bristol's ill and injured attended, eager to enjoy the urgent treatment they'd been otherwise unable to afford.

The Weinstein Company’s The Imitation Game is the big kid on the block among this holiday weekend’s batch of newcomers. The title is following in the footsteps of past TWC heavyweights The King’s Speech and The Artist, both of which opened to solid box office numbers and eventually scored Oscars for Best Picture. The distributor is expecting good numbers for Imitation Game over the Thanksgiving frame. IFC Films’ horror pic The Babadook has some good buzz heading into the weekend, though it might show its biggest heft via VOD with its day-and-date rollout. Remote Area Medical is one of those films one hopes everyone will see. Timed perfectly for this time of the year’s focus on thanks and giving, the documentary shows the underbelly of America’s healthcare crisis by way of people who provide free medical services to needy people in pop-up clinics around the country.

A small garden in an impoverished corner of Haiti is bringing a community together, as neighbors learn to garden, feed their families, and slowly change a dangerous neighborhood into a place where people are proud to live. Brooklyn-based filmmakers Jeff Reichert and Farihah Zaman traveled to the area, called Cite Soleil, to create a short film called Kombit about the garden movement in Haiti through a new grant program from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Sundance Institute, challenging filmmakers to make short projects focusing on hunger and extreme poverty.

Sundance Institute, with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, today announced a new project that will harness the power of independent film to create a global conversation about extreme hunger and poverty. The Sundance Institute Short Film Challenge will spur the production of documentary and narrative films – through a global open call for three-to-eight-minute submissions – that will celebrate imaginative solutions real people are creating to overcome the challenges of extreme hunger and poverty. The project supports Sundance Institute’s mission to empower independent storytellers and connect their work to communities around the world.
The Institute is working with Tongal.com to manage the online call for entries. Winning films will receive a $10,000 grant and travel to a premiere at a private event at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. Users can submit through July 1, 2014. There is no fee to apply. More information can be found at www.sundance.org/anotheryou.
Five new films made with production grants to launch the project premiered earlier today at a private screening co-hosted with the Gates Foundation at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. These five films will become available to audiences online throughout the year via digital media platforms.
Keri Putnam, Executive Director of Sundance Institute, said, “With the support of the Gates Foundation, we are proud to launch this short film challenge and support filmmakers around the world in telling stories that inform and engage audiences in ways that are as innovative and imaginative as the solutions people are putting into action every day. ”

Cinedigm has acquired all North American rights to "Remote Area Medical," the documentary from filmmakers Jeff Reichert and Farihah Zaman which made its world premiere at last year's Full Frame Documentary Film Festival.The film follows the non-profit organization Remote Area Medical, which pioneered pop-up health care clinics. Filmed during three days in the operation of a “no-cost” clinic set up annually at Bristol, Tennessee’s Nascar speedway, Remote Area Medical documents the range of medical care the eponymous organization provides to low-income patients in the heart of Appalachia. Cinedigm plans to release the film in Spring 2014. "We absolutely fell in love with Remote Area Medical at Hot Docs," said Vincent Scordino, Senior Vice President of Theatrical Releasing, for Cinedigm. "It's one of the most moving, well-made and timely documentaries we’ve seen in a very long time."The filmmakers said, "We were so moved by our experiences volunteering for Ram that we felt.

It’s been less than a year since Hurricane Sandy blasted New York and the TriState area, but already it has had a number of representations in film and transmedia, from Sandy Storylines to the narrative Stand Clear of the Closing Doors and the upcoming Sandy relief concert 12-12-12. Now to that list can be added a new title — and arguably the most definitive work about Sandy yet — This Time Next Year, directed by Remote Area Medical‘s Jeff Reichert and Farihah Zaman.

Several of the films from this year’s Full Frame Documentary Film Festival dealt with themes of community. Two films in particular that focused on question of community were Patrick Creadon’s If You Build It and Jeff Reichert and Farihah Zaman’s Remote Area Medical. In both cases, we are introduced to both the pleasures and the complexities of providing resources — medical or educational — to rural communities that have been neglected in recent years. If You Build It depicts the efforts of Emily Pilloton and Matt Miller to introduce a design-oriented curriculum to rural Bertie County, North Carolina, and to …...

Last year, filmmaker duo Jeff Reichert and Farihah Zaman (2010's election doc "Gerrymandering") made a three minute informational doc on Remote Area Medical, a free, three day pop up medical clinic in Tennessee that specializes in providing care to Americans without health insurance. You can see the short here, but ever since the two have been working on completing a full length version of the doc. The feature, also titled "Remote Area Medical," aims to put a human face on what it means to not have health insurance. It will have its world premiere at Full Frame Film Festival, which runs from April 4th to 7th in Durham, North Carolina. It'll then move over to Hot Docs, the Canadian International Film Festival, from April 25th to May 5th. The moving doc boasts a score from longtime David Gordon Green collaborator David Wingo and was cut by Spike Lee's go to doc editor Sam Pollard.

Last week at the the Los Angeles Film Festival, our very own Lady Vengeance, Farihah Zaman, premiered her documentary short Remote Area Medical, co-directed with her husband Jeff Reichert, himself a filmmaker (Gerrymandering) and film journalist. The film — which is embedded below — was made as part of the Focus Forward series, for which 30 filmmakers have been commissioned to make three-minute documentaries. There is, however, a feature-length version of Zaman and Reichert’s film in the works, to be released in 2013; to stay updated on its progress, “like” its Facebook page and follow @RAMmovie on Twitter.
In a recent email, Zaman wrote that Remote Area Medical was
