  • Descrição: Among U.S. Documentary Competition selections are Sara Dosa’s Fire Of Love about a pair of scientists and lovers whose fascination for volcanoes ultimately kills them; The Janes by Tia Lessin and Emma Pildes, a timely film as the landmark ‘Roe v Wade’ ruling comes under attack in the US which centres on the Jane Collective underground movement that launched in the 1960s to offer safe abortions (companion piece Call Jane from Carol screenwriter and feature directorial debutante Phyllis Nagy starring Elizabeth Banks screens in Premieres); and Meg Smaker’s Jihad Rehab following former Guantanamo inmates in a secret rehab centre for Islamist extremists. In World Cinema Documentary Competition there is a rare entry from Myanmar in the form of Snow Hnin El Hlaing’s chronicle of clinic life in Midwives; Kathryn Ferguson’s portrait of Irish singer Sinéad O’Connor in Nothing Compares (Ire-UK); Moroccan filmmaker Rita Baghdadi’s Sirens (Leb), which went through Cannes’ female-focused finance event Breaking Through The Lens in 2019 and centres on an Iraqi all-female thrash metal band; and Joe Hunting’s UK film We Met In Virtual Reality shot entirely inside the VR realm. Playing in Premieres are Number 9 Films’ Living (UK) with Bill Nighy as a terminally ill civil servant, which Oliver Hermanus directed from Kazuo Ishiguro’s adaptation of Akira Kurasawa’s 1952 drama Ikiru; Ramin Bahrani’s documentary 2nd Chance, about a broke pizzeria owner who invented the bulletproof vest; Amy Poehler’s documentary tribute to Lucille Ball Lucy And Desi, which pairs with Amazon Studios’ current awards hopeful Being The Riccardos; and feature directorial debuts from Jesse Eisenberg (When You Finish Saving The World starring Julianne Moore and Finn Wolfhard) and Eva Longoria Baston (UK entry La Guerra Civil about boxing rivals Oscar De La Hoya and Julio César Chávez). Entries include Atua (NZ), an encounter with Pacific gods in AR; Australian VR experience Gondwana which runs for 24 hours and explores alternative futures for the ancient Daintree rainforest; and The State Of Global Peace, where the viewer plays the leader of a fictitious country faced with student activists at the United Nations.
