"No Other Land reflects the harsh reality that we "No Other Land reflects the harsh reality that we have been enduring for decades and still resist, as we call on the world to take serious actions to stop the injustice and to stop the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people." Congratulations to the @nootherland.film team of Basel Adra, Rachel Szor, Hamdan Ballal, and Yuval Abraham for winning Best Documentary Feature at last night's #Oscars!

🎥 New screening series! #TruthAndDare looks at 🎥 New screening series! #TruthAndDare looks at films that expand the boundaries of documentary form. It kicks off tomorrow night at @hotdocs_ with the Canadian premiere of DIG! XX, an expanded cut of Ondi Timoner's 2004 Sundance prize winner. If you want to attend the screening tomorrow night at Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema at 7:30 PM, leave a comment below and tell us which film changed your idea of what a documentary can be. Released in 2004, Ondi Timoner’s now-classic rock-doc DIG! XX perfectly captured the love-hate relationship between psych-rockers The Brian Jonestown Massacre and the more polished, poppy The Dandy Warhols. DIG! XX adds an additional thirty-six minutes of material to the original cut. This includes even more passive-aggression, self-destructive behaviour and narration from tambourine-player extraordinaire Joel Gion. It’s an exhilarating reinvention of a film which was described by Dave Grohl as “a masterpiece” and The Brian Jonestown Massacre’s Anton Newcombe as “bold-faced lies and misinterpretation of fact”. #DIGXX #documentary #Toronto #contests #film #movies #cinema
