Artistic Director Nicholas Goodman has programmed an especially strong slate of documentaries at this year’s International Film Festival of North Hollywood (IFFNOHO):
- IFFNOHO is showcasing the LA premiere of Gazelle: The Love Issue LA premiere as the festival’s opening night film on Thursday, April 28, and it’s a sure-fire crowd-pleaser.
- The Cross of the Moment helps us understand the bleakness of the “or else” if we fail to stall or reverse climate change. The IFFNOHO screening is the world premiere of this absorbing and important film.
- Peter Miller’s documentary Projections of America reveals the story of American-made World War II propaganda films, designed to reassure the soon-to-be-occupied Europeans. “Propaganda” is a sinister word, and the surprise in Projections of America is how indirect, subtle and superficially benign these slice-of-American-life movies were.
- The most popular of the propaganda films in the Projections of America series, Autobiography of a Jeep, has its own separate screening at IFFNOHO.
The International Film Festival of North Hollywood (IFFNOHO) runs from April 28 through May 1, and here’s the entire festival program.
