Addie Morfoot Contributor “POV Shorts” will kick off its fifth season Nov. 7, with 11 documentaries highlighting topics including art as activism, freedom of expression, Americans with disabilities, intergenerational stories, and connectedness on the way.Packaged into six 30-minute episodes, “POV Shorts” will be available on PBS and will stream on POV.org and the PBS Video app.
The season will conclude on Dec. 19. Nearly two-thirds of the season’s films were directed by filmmakers of color, and over 80% were made by women.“As the fifth season of ‘POV Shorts’ marks a notable milestone, the series is well-represented by these outstanding stories and filmmakers,” says Opal H.
Bennett, co-producer for “POV.” “This is an eclectic group of episodes, some performance-forward, some animated, one focused on ‘POV’s’ hometown – New York City – and all conveying the unique world view of each filmmaker.”Season five’s first short is Titus Kaphar and Alex Malis’s 24-minute film “Shut Up and Paint.” The film is about Kaphar, a painter who looks to film as a medium in the face of an insatiable art market seeking to silence his activism.
Other season highlights include the world premiere of the student film, “Call Me Anytime, I’m Not Leaving the House,” directed by Sanjna Selva, about two Ukrainian sisters separated by distance and war, Tom Krawczyk’s “My Duduś,” which follows a Polish mother with empty nest syndrome as she raises a baby squirrel, and Weixi Chen and Kai Wei’s “Happiness Is £4 Million,” about an idealistic young journalist in Beijing who profiles China’s biggest real estate speculator.
