‘No Other Land,’ ‘Forest’ Win Big at Millennium Docs Against Gravity Festival
'No Other Land' won the Millennium Docs Against Gravity grand prize in the main competition.
“ No Other Land,” a documentary about the resistance of Palestinian activists against forced displacement and settler expansion in the West Bank community of Masafer Yatta, won the Millennium Docs Against Gravity grand prize in the main competition. Told completely through the artist’s haunting black and white photography and her reading of her diaries, the film won the Chopin Nose Award given to the best documentary about art and music. These included the aforementioned “Sugarcane” and “Agent of Happiness” plus Lena Wilson’s “Look Into My Eyes,” Netflix’s “The Remarkable Life of Ibelin,” directed by Benjamin Ree, and Hans Block’s “Eternal You.” All the titles mentioned so far in this article will likely figure into the rest of the documentary festival and award calendar for the year, cementing Millennium Docs Against Gravity’s reputation as a significant stop on that circuit.
