Oscar Chats 2023

Oscar nominated Brazilian docmaker Petra Costa got to grips with Alex Pritz, director of The Territory, and the rain forest activist and Indigenous leader Bitaté Uru Eu Wau Wau. In the Academy Award short-listed feature doc, when a network of Brazilian farmers seizes a protected area of the Amazon rainforest, Bitaté and his mentor must fight back in defense of the land as well as other Indigenous peoples living deep within the forest.

Oscar-winning producer John Battsek (One Day In September), sat down with Daniel Roher and Bulgarian Christo Grozev, director of and key protagonist within the highly acclaimed documentary Navalny, about the poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and the subsequent (and shocking) investigation into the crime.
