Frederick Wiseman frequently goes long, and Oscar-winning \u201cOJ: Made in America\u201d ran nearly eight hours. Lately, with \u201cBill Russell: Legend\u201d and \u201cBoom! Boom! The World vs. Boris Becker,\u201d streamers have embraced the \u201ctwo-part documentary\u201d \u2014 a fancy term for what used to be called a mini<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a>. So, while there are no limits on how much longer docs can get, it\u2019s refreshing to see a compelling subject covered in 40 minutes or less, and doubly rewarding to realize that four of the five packaged in ShortsTV\u2019s \u201c2023 Oscar Nominated Short Films: Documentary\u201d found audiences on their own merits, even without theatrical distribution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The only one you can\u2019t see for free is Jay Rosenblatt\u2019s charming \u201cHow Do You Measure a Year?,\u201d a 29-minute assembly of home-movie footage. Every year, Rosenblatt sat his daughter Ella down on her birthday and peppered her with questions, creating a ritual that, when presented thus, allows audiences to watch how her personality and priorities evolve. At first, she\u2019s a squirmy subject, saying the darndest things (her 3-year-old answer to \u201cWhat is power?\u201d comes as a surprise), but as she physically matures, Ella also becomes more sullen and withdrawn. In some ways, it\u2019s surprising that Rosenblatt would share this project with the public, while at the same time, it serves as the most basic version of an important nonfiction form \u2014 the longitudinal documentary \u2014 like three chapters of Michael Apted\u2019s \u201cSeven Up\u201d series boiled down to a single feel-good short.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Working in a more traditional form, \u201cThe Elephant Whisperers\u201d director Kartiki Gonsalves spirits audiences away to Asia\u2019s conservation-minded Theppakadu Elephant Camp, where husband and wife Bomman and Bellie foster an orphaned pachyderm named Raghu. From what we see of their life, this is a worthy but by no means lucrative pursuit \u2014 reminiscent of last year\u2019s Oscar-caliber feature \u201cWildcat\u201d \u2014 that\u2019s rewarded largely by the bond they develop with the remarkable creature (expect tears when rangers separate the creature from its \u201cfamily\u201d). Raghu expresses its personality in amusing and memorable ways, showing jealousy when the couple takes in a second orphan, Ammu. Toward the end of this attractive and engaging 39-minute short (enriched with footage of other local wildlife), Gonsalves informs us that elephant behavior is changing as a result of global warming, exposing the animals to fresh dangers as they venture into human-inhabited areas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Fourth on the program (and best of the bunch, artistically speaking), The New Yorker Documentary production \u201cHaulout\u201d raises a similar warning about the Arctic walrus population \u2014 although the animals don\u2019t <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>ear at first. Every year, Russian marine biologist Maxim Arbugaev (who co-directs with wife Evgenia) ventures to Siberia, shacking up in a drafty wooden cabin to study the potentially endangered creatures. Historically, the walruses might emerge onto ice sheets in the area, but as temperatures rise, they have no choice but to come ashore, resulting in dangerous overcrowding conditions (perhaps as many as 100,000 at peak haulout). A few lines of text superimposed over the closing shots explain the problem in what\u2019s otherwise an understated largely observational 25 minutes \u2014 which makes that first reveal of countless blubbery brown bodies assembled outside Maxim\u2019s window all the more surprising.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Separating these two eco-focused shorts, Joshua Seftel\u2019s half-hour \u201cStranger at the Gate\u201d (also commissioned by The New Yorker) is one of those rare stories that turns a horrific hate crime \u2014 an aborted domestic terrorism strike, wherein Richard McKinney reversed his plans to bomb the Islamic Center of Muncie \u2014 into a plea for redemption. The way \u201cMac\u201d and members of the mosque tell it, the xenophobic ex-Marine wandered in one day looking out of place. Instead of turning him away, the Muslims embraced the stranger with hospitality and kindness, which startled Mac and inspired a conversion. The filmmakers weren\u2019t there to witness the change of heart they describe, which obliges Seftel to re-create everything using a clunky mix of drone shots, archival photos and talking heads \u2014 hardly the ideal way to tell the story, but clearly effective enough to be nominated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Rounding out the nearly three-hour program is Netflix\u2019s fascinating and frequently enraging \u201cThe Martha Mitchell Effect,\u201d a 39-minute history lesson on (for younger viewers) or flashback to (for those who lived through it) the Watergate scandal that brought down Richard Nixon\u2019s presidency. Making nifty work of archival footage, co-directors Anne Alvergue and Debra McClutchy focus on Washington\u2019s most outspoken plus-one, Martha Mitchell, wife of Attorney <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> John Mitchell, who didn\u2019t hesitate to pick up the phone and give the president or reporters a piece of her mind. She was a loose cannon who genuinely \u201cscared\u201d Nixon, according to recordings made in the Oval Office, where she\u2019s mentioned more than 100 times. Martha may have been a \u201cpain in the ass\u201d (Nixon\u2019s words), but this hindsight-is-20\/20 portrait reframes her as the target of gaslighting. If that term seems overused today, the short\u2019s title provides both a case study and a clunky synonym for the year\u2019s trendiest accusation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/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.
