When Nikole Hannah-Jones heard that the TV adaptation of The 1619 Project earned three Emmy noms, she was especially pleased about this specific recognition: outstanding cinematography for a nonfiction program. “I was particularly happy Jerry Henry got the nomination for cinematography because he’s just so talented,” she says of the Hulu docuseries that also received nods for best documentary or nonfiction series and for picture editing for a nonfiction program. Right before the nominations came out, “Naimah Jabali-Nash, one of the directors, texted me this shot from Georgia,” Hannah-Jones adds. “[In the picture,] we were out reporting in 99 percent humidity, on a plantation in Georgia. We were drenched in sweat and spending nine hours out there. It was a reminder of everything that we did to bring this to the screen.”

Here’re the charts and segmentations of the cameras that shot the Sundance 2023’s documentary films. It proves once again that documentary filmmakers use different tools as compared to their narrative colleagues. Not surprisingly, Canon leads the way as the most trusted camera company among documentary filmmakers. Gladly, we see here Blackmagic, Sony mirrorless, and even iPhone. Furthermore, high-end cinema cameras are located at the bottom of the chart.

In director Laura Gabbert’s delightful documentary City Of Gold, Jonathan Gold, the first food critic to win a Pulitzer Prize, drives around his hometown of Los Angeles, in search of great food in unexpected places, talks about writing, the links between food, nations, neighborhoods and identity. It is a road trip you do not want to miss.
A native of Los Angeles, Gold knows his city and it willing to go to unlikely places in his search for culinary adventure. As the Los Angeles Times restaurant critic, he does not seek out the fancy, trendy, high priced dining spots of the rich and famous to review.

As one commentator notes, Gold is...
