But if you want to be nominated for an Oscar in the doc short category, it\u2019s best to zero in on an issue the Academy can get behind, like homelessness, bullying and confronting prejudice. Just imagine if any other category were the same way \u2014 say, if the award for best sound mixing recognized only engineers who\u2019d worked on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> that make the world a better place \u2014 but so it goes. At least all five of this nominees are solid (sometimes quite sophisticated) treatments of their subjects. As Roger Ebert used to say, \u201cIt\u2019s not what a movie is about, it\u2019s how it is about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAudible\u201d is art, even if the project originated as a TV commercial. One of three Netflix-acquired entries in the mix (all of this year\u2019s noms were released to the small screen), the film focuses on a handful of students at Maryland School for the Deaf, whose football team went for years without losing to another hearing-impaired team. A decade ago, director Matt Ogens shot a segment for Toyota\u2019s \u201cLine of Scrimmage\u201d campaign at the school, returning year after year to find the right group of students to showcase in a more personal project. He landed on Amaree, a homecoming king on the cusp of adulthood, shaken by a close friend\u2019s suicide. Gifted with a masterful visual sense (that was clear from his 2007 Hollywood Blvd.-of-broken-dreams doc \u201cConfessions of a Superhero\u201d) Ogden experiments with audio here as well, creatively devising a kind of heightened identification with these remarkable young people.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, HBO acquired Jay Rosenblatt\u2019s \u201cWhen We Were Bullies,\u201d an essay film in which the director continues to explore an incident of grade-school bullying. Rosenblatt was not the victim, but one of the perpetrators in which the entire class turned on one kid, and he\u2019s still wrestling with the guilt all these years later. The short serves as a follow-up to 1994\u2019s \u201cThe Smell of Burning Ants,\u201d in which he blended archival footage of boys with observations on how they are conditioned in American culture: \u201cBoys become boys in large part by not being girls. The ones who don\u2019t figure this out are the same ones that get beaten up.\u201d Through a strange coincidence, the narrator of that film, Richard Silberg, was a fifth-grade classmate of Rosenblatt\u2019s at P.S. 194. Together, they attend an elementary-school reunion and speak to the other students. They even track down their teacher, Mrs. Bromberg, now 92. The ending is unsatisfying, though this deeply personal film serves as a powerful rumination on how such incidents can haunt us. (It would make an excellent double-bill with Belgian director Laura Wandel\u2019s \u201cPlayground,\u201d which is told from a child\u2019s-eye view.)<\/p>\n<p>Probably the most conventional entry of the bunch, Netflix-available \u201cThree Songs for Benazir\u201d represents co-directors (and married couple) Elizabeth and Gulistan Mirzaei\u2019s ongoing work in Afghanistan, where they try to shed light on people and stories overlooked by the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>. Visiting a camp for people displaced by war in Kabul, they find Shaista, a young man with a teenage bride, Benazir. The couple look like characters out of Pasolini\u2019s Trilogy of Life: They still have the faces of children, marked by peach fuzz and acne, and seem to know hardly anything of the wider world. Benazir wants to enlist in the Afghan National Army, but he can\u2019t do so without the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roval of his elders, who claim, \u201cIf you sign, the Taliban with chop us to pieces.\u201d Even before men with rifles took back control of the country, this short captured the forces standing in the way of change.<\/p>\n<p>Also on Netflix, Pedro Kos and Jon Shenk\u2019s \u201cLead Me Home\u201d tackle a familiar enough issue in a formally inventive way. After cycling through drone shots of tent cities and homeless encampments in three west coast cities (Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles), they zoom in to the human level, introducing a handful of destitute souls from the perspective of a social worker running down a shelter intake questionnaire. Two years ago, just before the pandemic, California governor Gavin Nesom dedicated his State of the State address to this crisis: \u201cMost of us experienced homelessness as a pang of guilt, not a call to action,\u201d he said. <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>om\u2019s speech would\u2019ve made a fine backbone for the short, but this isn\u2019t a TV-news segment or a conventional talking-heads doc. Kos and Shenk seem to be channeling \u201cKoyaanisqatsi\u201d in their approach, delivering a mesmerizing and often heartbreaking montage of a complex problem.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there is Ben Proudfoot\u2019s \u201cThe Queen of Basketball,\u201d the latest Oscar nominee to hail from the New York Times\u2019 terrific Op-Docs series. (Variety readers have probably noticed a swell in the number of video stories on this web site, as it\u2019s a great way to enrich the format of a conventional profile or story. But no one does it better than the Times.) At 22 minutes, \u201cQueen\u201d keeps it short and sweet, introducing us to basketball legend Lusia Harris \u2014 \u201clong and tall and that\u2019s not all\u201d \u2014 who made history as the first woman to score a basket at the Olympics, only to be forgotten by history. This is essentially a single-source story, reinforced with archival photos, clippings and footage, as Harris tells her own story, cracking herself up with laughter after practically every line, even when recounting the down bits \u2014 like her bout with bipolar disorder and passing up an offer to play for the NBA.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
