Why watch this film?
Even decades after her death, Princess Diana continues to draw attention to her life and death. While films like 'Spencer' fictionalize the drama she lived, others try to bring the most details with real images. This is the case of 'The Princess', a documentary by Ed Perkins ('Black Sheep') that, through archive images, brings a new look at the life of Princess Diana, from a contemporary point of view. The narrative of the film, also signed by Perkins, is the great success that differentiates the documentary from a flood of other productions about Lady Di: more than spectacularizing the event, the filmmaker examines everything around Diana - from the public to the monarchy.

Tell Me Who I Am
It is increasingly common for documentaries to have fiction film structures and, in the case of 'Tell Me Who I Am', we are faced with a "suspense documentary". From a traumatic event that leaves one of the protagonists with amnesia, information about the hidden tragedy is gradually provided. This is an indigestible movie for one simple reason: we have a mature man in front of the camera who is suddenly stripped of the only thing that constitutes us as people, which is the complex structure of events we call memory. The director Ed Perkins' (nominated for an Oscar for his short documentary 'Black Sheep') ability to use a photography of lights and shadows as a metaphor for the men we see on screen must be applauded.

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.
