Genna Terranova is Senior Programmer for the Tribeca Film Festival and Doha Tribeca Festival; and curates year round initiatives for Tribeca Enterprises. You might as well call her Genna Tribeca. Here are her TIFF (as opposed to TFF) doc picks:
First off, I look forward to trying to see many more of the documentaries playing at TIFF but these are just a few to mention after a quick glance.
Colony (Carter Gunn and Ross McDonnell, Ireland) - Bees in themselves hold their own mystery for me. With all the buzz surrounding organic farming industry these days and having just finished "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan, I am looking forward to this documentary for its subject matter and also for its Irish perspective.
Videocracy (Erik Gandini, Sweden) - Perhaps some of the Italian population may be tired of watching and hearing about Berlusconi, but I am maintaining a healthy curiosity. I am hoping Michael Wolff's Vanity Fair article this month just scratched the surface of where Videocracy may trek.
Capitalism: A Love Story (Michael Moore, USA) - I always want to see a new movie by Michael Moore.
Google Baby (pictured) (Zippi Brand Frank, Israel) - Globalization at its best or worst? As a woman and human being, the description of this film intrigues and frightens me. That said, I look forward to seeing it.
