    This is the 1 hour 40 summary of all eight films in the Invisible Women series.. and more besides. Makes other film documentaries look pale and uninteresting and packed with unnecessary props and devices and tricks. This seems to just leap on like a salmon, encompassing not only a potted history of film making but an in depth dive into everything that makes up editing: the basics of joining shots together, the volumes of material involved, the process, the use of sound as part of the puzzle, creating scenes from nothing, the importance of performances, the editor-director relationship, all with great contributions from great editors themselves and an array of illustrative clips from some of the best films ever made. Considering it was made with no resources and for no money, it's an amazing achievement.

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.

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.
