The 2023 Oscar Shortlisted Documentary Features

Since the 2009 Oscars, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has nominated ten feature films per year for Best Picture, the only category to honor more than five titles. The advance notice of the shortlist for the feature documentaries comes close to that kind of inclusivity and we're happy to shine a projector bulb light on twelve of the fifteen of them this month, including: ALL THAT BREATHES; BAD AXE; FIRE OF LOVE; HALLELUJAH: LEONARD COHEN, A JOURNEY, A SONG; HIDDEN LETTERS; THE JANES; LAST FLIGHT HOME; MOONAGE DAYDREAM; RETROGRADE; and THE TERRITORY.
