Doxita
Sep 18, 2008
Doxita is a traveling festival of documentary films that are under 40 minutes in length. The program, comprised of approximately two hours of film, represents a wide variety of documentary designed to profile the great content and artistic vision that non–fiction short films provide, but that people don’t often get a chance to see. The festival includes Martin Thomas (A film about one´s man´s painful journey to stop his stammer, UK/Wales, by Dylan Wyn Thomas, 31 minutes); The Guarantee (A tale told through animated drawings of one man´s consideration of plastic surgery to help his ballet career, USA, by Jesse Epstein, 10 minutes); Cross Your Eyes, Keep Them Wide (An invitation into a special workspace for artists with development disabilities; USA, by Ben Wu, 23 minutes); El Cerco (A breathtaking look at tuna fishing in the Mediterranean, Spain, by Ricardo Iscar/Nacho Martin, 12 minutes); and Vángelo Monzón (An inside look at a man who has been making bricks in Argentina since he was a boy, Sweden, by Andréas Lennartsson, 8 minutes), among others.
