In The Revolution Against Death, Joshua Oppenheimer’s (The Act of Killing) critical eye is fixed on the hosts and attendees of a radical life extension summit. Buckskin is a poetic portrait of the filmmaker’s grandfather, the first Black forester in the United States. In Forgotten Spaceman, archival footage is woven together to tell the dual story of Afghanistan’s first astronaut and the filmmaker’s father, both of whom left Afghanistan as refugees.
