'Summer of Soul'
Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson makes his directorial debut with "Summer of Soul," a documentary about the Harlem Cultural Festival in 1969.
The film is nominated for best documentary feature at the 2022 Oscars and has received several accolades during awards season so far.
It was named best documentary by the National Board of Review and has taken home awards at the Choice Documentary Awards, Film Independent Spirit Awards, American Cinema Editors Eddie Awards and the IDA Documentary Awards, among others.
While appearing on "Nightline" in 2021, Questlove spoke about the significance of the festival, which ran from June to August of 1969, and about bringing this footage to the forefront after it was "forgotten."
"The Harlem cultural festival was this beautiful event organized by Tony Lawrence and Hal Tulchin that had Sly and the Family Stone, Nina Simone, B.B. King ... all these key figures in Black music came together during that summer of 1969," he said. "Over 300,000 people witnessed this."
The documentary brings these performances from the festival back into the spotlight to celebrate them and "inspire" and "touch" people, according to Questlove.

'Flee'
In this Jonas Poher Rasmussen-directed animated documentary, a refugee, using the the pseudonym Amin Nawabi, shares his life story, detailing how he and his family fled their home in Afghanistan when he was a child and the painful five-year journey taken before he eventually came to live alone in Denmark.
The project is the first time Amin is opening up about his childhood, his sexuality, separating from his family, and more. Rasmussen, who has known Amin since he was 15 years old, had asked his friend to share his story before but he had not been ready.
"Flee" is the first film in Oscars history to be nominated for best documentary feature, best international feature and best animated feature.
The film showcases the heartbreaking plight many refugees face in finding safety, a sense of belonging and peace after being forced to leave their homes.

'Nightmare Alley'

After learning about their code they use for their act, he ventures off on his own with a performer from the circus, Molly (Rooney Mara), to create his own act using their methods.
