    A greatly enjoyable document for fans of classic cinema like I am, although I only know of Turner through three films I have seen her in (Peyton Place, Imitation of Life and The Postman Always Rings Twice--the blu of which had this as an extra). It's given extra credibility as it has huge input from the only child Turner had, the same daughter who knifed and killed an abusive lover Turner was trying to dump, and who thus caused the huge Hollywood scandal that devastated Turner's career for the rest of her life.

Iverson

Iverson is the ultimate legacy of NBA legend Allen Iverson, who rose from a childhood of crushing poverty in Hampton, Virginia, to become an 11-time NBA All-Star and universally recognized icon of his sport. Off the court, his audacious rejection of conservative NBA convention and unapologetic embrace of hip hop culture sent shockwaves throughout the league and influenced an entire generation. Told largely in Iverson's own words, the film charts the career highs and lows of one of the most distinctive and accomplished figures the sport of basketball has ever seen.

Cameraperson

As a visually radical memoir, CAMERAPERSON draws on the remarkable footage that filmmaker Kirsten Johnson has shot and reframes it in ways that illuminate moments and situations that have personally affected her. What emerges is an elegant meditation on the relationship between truth and the camera frame, as Johnson transforms scenes that have been presented on Festival screens as one kind of truth into another kind of story—one about personal journey, craft, and direct human connection.
