MoMA’s annual international festival of nonfiction film celebrates important new discoveries in documentary cinema. Combining short and feature-length work by both emerging and established artists, Doc Fortnight highlights the ever-growing ambition and experimentation within the documentary field.
Doc Fortnight Shorts 1:
Abstraction as Apprehension
This program, which takes its title from a new animated film by the artist Amy Sillman, shows us that acts of protest and resistance can take many forms. Abstraction, for example, can be a powerful means of persuasion, whether through a disembodied voice (Elisabeth Subrin’s Manal Issa, 2024) or a mapping of historical erasure (Antoine Chapon’s The Orchards), an apocalyptic vision of war (Arshia Shakiba’s Who Loves the Sun), or more distillate evocations of sexual and political violence (Alina Orlov’s The Cavalry and Helin Çelik’s HABĀ).
