"How do you get an audience to love a green film?" asks @GlassmanMarc. Take a cue from Jennifer Baichwal and make a riveting courtroom with a compelling and very relatable narrative like she does with @intotheweedsdoc https://povmagazine.com/into-the-weeds-review-courtroom-drama-with-a-green-twist/

If a filmmaker falls while filming, should a critic cast a view? @filmfest_ca hopes that Mantas Kvedaravičius's MARIUPOLIS 2, presented at #Cannes2022 mere weeks after the director's death, inspires viewers to celebrate his 2016 film instead. https://povmagazine.com/mariupolis-2-review-fragments-of-a-film/
