CHICAGO – One of the great predictors of Oscar worthy films is Chicago’s DOC 10 festival. The Chicago Media Project presents its fourth annual documentary fest, a weekend of 10 prominent documentaries that end up either making a national statement or nominated for awards (last year’s fest included Oscar nominees “Minding the Gap” and “RBG”). It all takes place at the Davis Theatre in the Lincoln Square neighborhood from April 11th-14th, 2019, and opens with “Knock Down the House.” For more information and tickets, click here. [21]
The Opening Night film is the emotionally charged “Knock Down the House,” which profiles the insurgent campaigns of Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and other women candidates who defined the 2018 midterm elections. The nine other documentaries, playing at various times over the weekend are ... “Mike Wallace is Here,” “Midnight Family,” “Anthropocene: The Human Epoch,” “One Child Nation,” “American Factory,” “Hail Satan?,” “The Distant Barking of Dogs,” “The Infiltrators,” and “Biggest Little Farm.” DOC 10 also features discussions, seminars and a Virtual Reality demonstration.
