Millennium Docs Against Gravity Festival in Poland Crowns ‘Yintah’ With Grand Prize


The main competition jury prize at the Millennium Docs Against Gravity film festival was awarded to the Canadian film “Yintah.”

Co-directed by Brenda Michell, Michael Toledano, and Jennifer Wickham, the docu captures the Wet’suwet’en nation’s right to stewardship and sovereignty over their territories. Iranian filmmaker Farahnaz Sharifi brought “My Stolen Planet,” in which she documents in diary style her life under the strict Islamic code in her home country. U.S. filmmaker Lauren Greenfield showed her Imelda Marcos biopic “Kingmaker” (2018), and that fallen politician’s rise back to power, through her son, the current president of the Philippines, recalls what happened in American politics in the last year.
