Two films expected to be in the awards hunt as the year progresses will screen in tandem at a special one-night only film festival in Tulsa, OK.
Sugarcane, directed by Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie, and Look Into My Eyes, directed by Lana Wilson, will play back to back on Saturday at the inaugural Tulsa Hot Doks. The film festival is a joint undertaking by the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival in Arkansas and the Circle Cinema in Tulsa.
Sugarcane, winner of the directing prize for U.S. documentary at Sundance, “explores the investigation of unmarked graves at an Indian residential school in Canada, unearthing secrets above and below the ground and igniting a reckoning in the lives of survivors and their descendants.” Among those descendants is NoiseCat himself.
The critically acclaimed Look Into My Eyes held its U.S. premiere at Sundance and international premiere at CPH:DOX in Copenhagen.
“It’s about a group of New York City psychics who conduct deeply intimate readings with their clients,” Wilson told Deadline at Sundance. “At the beginning of the film, we’re plunged into the sessions, but over the course of the film, we get to know the psychics. We learn about their shared backgrounds in the performing arts in many cases; their shared experiences with loss and loneliness. Ultimately, it’s a film about how we as humans need witnesses in order to better see ourselves.”
Reflecting on Saturday’s event, Brent Ortolani, executive director of the Circle Cinema, said, “The Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival is the longest-running documentary film festival in North America. The Circle is proud to partner with this highly regarded festival and bring a preview of the amazing collection of films to Tulsa.”
