thinking about beasts of the southerm wild

So thrilled to have Beasts be a part of the celebration of Founding Senior Director of Sundance Institute’s Artist Program Michelle Satter as she’s honored with the 2026 Mel Novikoff Award as part of the San Francisco Film Festival. sffilm.org/event/mel-no...

THE WHITE HOUSE EFFECT is an independently produced film now on Netflix. It's an expansive archival doc about global warming that uses news footage to show how Reagan/GWH Bush sold out our country and the world for profits under the guise of economic progress. 👀 www.netflix.com/title/82045299

My "classic" is Basil Poledouris' Conan the Barbarian soundtrack. My more modern one is Beasts of the Southern Wild, by Dan Romer and Benh Zeitlin.

Watched a Netflix documentary called “The White House Effect” last night. Shows a lot about big oil and how they cover up the truth about climate change. Worth watching but will probably make you mad! Something is wrong in the village!

Glad to see FAREWELL AMOR (2020) getting more love!

The 28th Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, taking place April 16–19, in Durham, North Carolina, revealed the films in the New Docs and Invited Programs. | vimooz.me/go44qx Opening the festival is Sam Green’s The Oldest Person in the World.

Watched the documentary, "The White House Effect," with my students today. Highly recommend. As Mark Twain said, "History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes."

Hollywood Reporter surveyed 92 casting directors and BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD is one of the top two picks for a theoretical 2013 Oscars Best Casting Award had that award existed then. www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/best-c...

Honored that @fullframefest.bsky.social has chosen THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD as its Opening Night Film! North Carolina – get your tickets now! deadline.com/2026/03/full...

As the closing credits of 2025 roll, Letterboxd crew and contributors round up their favorite films that they watched for the very first time this year, from underseen international gems like Forever a Woman to acclaimed mainstays like Paper Moon. boxd.it/2S8

I think at times of the 2012 film Beasts of the Southern Wild and its narrator, Hushpuppy.

Alison Byrne Fields discussed the 10+ years process of making THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD at @truefalsefilmfest.bsky.social, which @deadline.com’s Matthew Carey describes as “a meditation on how we assign value to life and a reflection on mortality”

Flashback with this @slashfilm.bsky.social article about how much Oprah loves BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD! As she put it “when you see it, you’re just going to want to talk to somebody about it. You’re going to want to know ‘how did they do this?’” www.slashfilm.com/2109569/opra...

Getting ready for @truefalsefilmfest.bsky.social Day 2. Day 1 was Sam Green’s The Oldest Person in the World, Robb Moss’ The Bend in the River and Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard’s Broken English. All three films about time, reflection, personal history, moving forward. The Moss is a real stand out.

GREECE, get excited, THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD is having its European premiere at Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival!!!

Read Stephen Saito’s review of THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD at The Moveable Fest #SundanceFilmFestival moveablefest.com/sam-green-ol...

If you like the score from A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, let me suggest the work by composer Dan Romer that’s closest to my heart: Beasts of the Southern Wild. It’s a deeply moving, uplifting, and edifying score.

We’re ecstatic to announce THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD is heading to Copenhagen for CPH:DOX!!! cphdox.dk/film/the-old...

“A massive emotional journey... A fascinating experience.” Some more amazing appreciation for THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD, this time from Pedro Lima at Movies We Text About #SundanceFilmFestival movieswetextedabout.com/the-oldest-p...

Had to take a break from the news tonight, so I finally watched a film I’ve only seen snippets of now and then: Beasts of the Southern Wild. It sent a fresh dose of courage to my heart. A mix of fantasy and reality, this film is tough and beautiful. Highly recommend.

Natalia Almada’s CAPTIONS WILL BE NEEDED is one of fourteen international projects selected for the inaugural Fondazione Prada Film Fund!!! We are especially honored, given that over 1200 projects were submitted from around the world! variety.com/2026/film/gl...

SO LATE SO SOON the house at the center of the film and Director Daniel Hymanson are featured in @chicagotribune.com and HGTV’s Ugliest House In America. For the record, we think the house is beyond beautiful! Available to rent or own on your favorite streaming services.

I tried to put down in words what it was like to attend the the decidedly melancholy 2026 Sundance Film Festival. A sampling of the tremendous movies I highlight: BEDFORD PARK, JOYBUBBLES, THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD, THE FRIEND’S HOUSE IS HERE. Please have a gander. observer.com/2026/02/art-...
