Featuring the top award-winning documentaries from Sundance and Tribeca, these eight powerful shorts include “One Year Lease,” a cautionary tale about renting an apartment in New York City, told through the voicemail messages of the tenants’ cat-loving landlady; “A Hole in the Sky,” a stirring portrait of life for a young woman in rural Somalia; “The Silly Bastard Next to the Bed,” a stranger-than-fiction account of one of the funniest phone calls ever made from the Oval Office during the Kennedy administration (it would make an excellent script for an episode of “Veep”); and tailor-made for the summer of the World Cup final, “Maradona ’86,” which tells the fascinating story of a controversial soccer icon.

Description

Filmmaking and life intersect around the problem of lost footage. A husband records his dying wife. A grieving son loses the tape. Directors Yuval Hameiri and Michal Vaknin, using simple objects to great effect, recreate the lost sequence. The resulting documentary effectively captures what was lost in the original footage, a much deeper loss that no recreation will replace.
