Doc Talk Podcast Debates Oscar Results And Travels To The True/False Film Fest


This week's episode of the Doc Talk podcast debate the 2025 Oscar documentary winners and chat with True/False Film Fest head Chloé Trayner.

Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal and Yuval AbrahamGetty Images On the new episode of Deadline’s Doc Talk podcast, hosts John Ridley and Matt Carey react to the Academy Awards on Sunday night. We discuss the political climate in which No Other Land surged to frontrunner status and how it overcame an apparent late charge from Porcelain War, the documentary feature set in Ukraine. The festival’s artistic director, Chloé Trayner, tells us how “joy and playfulness” have become integral to the True/False identity, and why the cinematic showcase favors “authored” work over less distinctive approaches to the documentary form.
