Cinetracts '20

A global portrait documenting the year's events, Cinetracts '20 features the work of an international lineup of 20 filmmakers. Capturing the zeitgeist in their own backyard, the artists' short films are the culmination of a year-long residency project.

Directed by Sky Hopinka, Cameron A. Granger, Cauleen Smith, Charles Burnett, Gabriel Mascaro, Sheilah ReStack, Akwaeke Emezi, Tony Buba, Christopher Harris, Dani ReStack, Natalia Almada, Tamer El Said, Bouchra Khalili, Natasha Mendonca, Su Friedrich, Kelly Gallagher, Rosine Mbakam, Beatriz Santiago Muñoz, Želimir Žilnik, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Cinetracts '20 leans on a strong ensemble — Charles Bracy, Suzette Martinez, Steven Cleveland — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2020.
