If you live in New York—or you live in LA next week or you live in Chicago the week after that, etc.—I really can't recommend seeing PREDATORS @filmforumnyc.bsky.social more strongly. You will not see a more thought-provoking film about documentary ethics. And that's one of so many layers to this.

New York: come watch Peter Sellers as a bumbling Indian film extra in "The Party" (1968) this Friday night at @filmforumnyc.bsky.social—with an intro by me beforehand to discuss the elephant in the room. Tickets available: filmforum.org/events/event...

I interviewed PREDATORS director David Osit for @thefilmstage.com : thefilmstage.com/predators-di.... His film opens @filmforumnyc.bsky.social Friday. @mtvdoc.bsky.social
