Award-Winning ‘Seeds’ To Sprout At True/False Film Fest, Plus Dozens More Innovative Docs: “We’re Really Invested In Supporting Creative Nonfiction”


The 2025 True/False Film Fest in Columbia, MO kicks off Thursday with a lineup of innovative documentaries.

The 22 nd edition of True/False will showcase dozens of feature and short documentaries hailing from around the world: China, Mongolia, Pakistan, the Middle East, Kenya, Ecuador, Argentina, Mexico, Western and Eastern Europe, and the U.S. among other areas. Both of those films, to me, are kind of perfect examples of that… I think you can’t watch either Predators or Zodiac Killer Project and not come out and want to talk to everybody about what you just saw… It’s really interesting to delve into ideas of ethics and how these stories are being constructed and how we as audiences are receiving them.” In their new film, they “breathe life into an enthralling archive of the students of ‘Electronic English,’ a high school media and journalism class [in Middletown, New York] led by an eccentric and inspiring teacher, Fred Isseks.”
