PRESENT FOR IN THE ABSENCE
If you read the previous post, you know that I crowed about getting my first Oscar film screener. That came last week from the producers of the Oscar short-listed Documentary Short Subject film In the Absence.
The 29 minute film explores the sinking of a South Korean ferry boat in 2014 that cost the lives of nearly 300 people and seeks to reveal the choices among bureaucrats that contributed to the loss of life.
I found it harrowing and moving, and of course will now keep my fingers crossed that it moves from the short list to the list of nominated doc shorts that are announced on Jan. 13th.
The IMDb page for In the Absence is linked here.
A HIDDEN LIFE
Here's a link to Anne Thompson's (Indiewire) video interview with the two lead actors from Terrence Malick's A Hidden Life: August Diehl and Valerie Pachner.

A Hidden Life opened in limited release on Dec. 13th.
THE AERONAUTS
Gregory Ellwood of The Playlist sat down recently with Oscar nominee Felicity Jones who stars in Amazon Studios The Aeronauts for an interview.
