Why watch this film?
With its debut at this year's Tribeca Festival, 'Fathom' is a documentary about two marine biologists studying the communication of humpback whales. A somewhat uncommon subject, but it is worth noting the attention documentaries about the underwater universe are receiving (the last Oscar winner in the category was about an octopus). And in the delicate moment we are living on our planet, learning a little more about nature is something very useful and can add a lot to us. In addition, the film has a very powerful narrative, using marine scientific research as a hook to discuss the very nature of human communication.

La Bonga
La bonga is an emotional Colombian documentary, selected for film festivals like Guanajuato (Mexico), Costa Rica, and San Francisco. The documentary portrays the return of hundreds of people to the title town, now swallowed by the jungle, after they had to abandon it decades earlier due to threats of violence from paramilitary groups. It is a powerful cinematic exercise on collective memory to heal trauma, reconcile with the passage of time, and rebuild abandoned lives to move forward with courage.

Life Is Not a Competition, But I'm Winning
Life is not a Competition, but I'm Winning is a sports documentary that challenges one of the most debated—and controversial—issues in professional sports in recent years: the rigidity of gender-based competitive divisions—male and female—with the resultant exclusion of transgender athletes. With a visual style that goes beyond typical sports documentaries, this production challenges these classifications while celebrating the triumphs of transgender women who have been denied the opportunity to compete and represent their disciplines—and even their nations—on the podium.

Skywalkers: A Love Story
Skywalkers: A Love Story is a documentary presented at the Sundance Festival 2024 that, from its theme and subjects, might already seem controversial: it follows a couple dedicated to rooftopping, the activity of clandestinely scaling skyscrapers and other tall structures, and documenting it. The documentary explores their trajectories, motivations, and romantic relationship, as they prepare for the most risky—and important—climb of their lives. Filled with spectacular and even terrifying images, with editing that keeps the viewer engaged, Skywalkers will fascinate the curious, even if, as such, its reflections on love never reach the same heights.
