The #SXSW 2023 Documentary Short Jury Award goes to Nǎi Nai & Wài Pó (Grandma & Grandma) directed by Sean Wang!

Hollywood is in disarray amid mass firings and fears of the future. The big take-aways in the trades seem to be that people need to be making smaller more thoughtfully crafted movies for audiences. Welcome to the party, pal.

Thankful to have two films in contention this year: Long Line of Ladies in the Doc Short category and Are You Still There? in the Live-Action category. Both contain a piece of my heart ❤️ #fyc

“We challenged ourselves to make a film that truly honors its subjects, resists manufacturing drama or conflict, and creates a defined line for the respectful consumption of another’s culture”🙌🏽 buff.ly/3hjA04h

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION We’re excited to announce that Are You Still There? is available in the Academy Screening Room! Thank you to the team who made this film happen, and to the festivals, programmers, and jurors who gave it a platform. Directed by Rayka Zehtabchi & Sam Davis

@letterboxd @maorimovies @shaandiintome Thank you @maorimovies for the fantastic article and conversation!! It was a pleasure to speak with you ☺️

As National Native American Heritage Month comes to a close, our Indigenous editor @maorimovies chats to directors @shaandiintome @rayning and producer Pimm Tripp-Allen, the team behind the Oscar-qualifying documentary short, Long Line of Ladies: boxd.it/1fu #NNAHM

The six nominees for Outstanding Short Film are: In Flow of Words | Directed by Eliane Esther Bots Last Days of August | Directed by Rodrigo Ojeda-Beck and @433_Pictures Long Line of Ladies | Directed by @RAYning and @shaandiintome 1/2

kick off Native American Heritage Month by watching ⁦@shaandiintome⁩ + ⁦@RAYning⁩’s LONG LINE OF LADIES, an incredible and beautiful film celebrating an Indigenous history, present, and future. check it out on ⁦@nytimes⁩ Op-Docs! nytco.com/press/sxsw-win…

There’s a historical lack of representation and celebration around periods. The Op-Doc “Long Line of Ladies” captures a Karuk coming-of-age ceremony where it’s celebrated, not stigmatized. nyti.ms/3FHn0z8

Still thinking about @shaandiintome and @RAYning's documentary short LONG LINE OF LADIES. Maybe the best thing I've seen this year. Hoping there's a place to watch for folks on the internet sometime soon. vimeo.com/655221861

In light of the draft of a leaked majority Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade, I want to call your attention to the people that would be impacted most by the end of legalized abortion across the United States. 🧵:

Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country NOW. And if there aren’t 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes.
