Some lighter news from a different front of the immigrant insurgency…

I was at the Key West Film Festival this weekend for the premier of Evgenia Kovda’s short film, Changemaker — an immigrant’s perspective on America’s documentary industry, inspired by her time in activist and “social change” doc circles in New York.

It’s a great and funny film. And it was a subversive hit at her MFA thesis show at Hunter College earlier this summer: a mockumentary about documentary filmmakers snuck in and sandwiched between other straight documentaries — the kind that her film was satirizing. So the whole thing transcended cinema and entered the realm of performance art.
