Full Frame 2025 — Quick Hits

I should have plenty of feature reviews from this year’s festival, but I also wanted to set up a page for some shorts or smaller films that help make this documentary-driven festival such a treat.

Your Opinion, Please

Have you ever called a radio talk show? Before there was social media with its followers and social influencers, before Twitter and Blue Sky and Facebook, people wrote letters to periodicals and newspapers and called the local station to amplify their voices. Snippets of such calls to NPR in Montana play over clips of the localities that the callers are from or are talking about. I was surprised that the film made me feel nostalgic even though my left brain kept saying that the opinions were little different than random Instagram posts. These people aren’t quite sounding their barbaric yawps, but they are trying, as each individual in each generation inevetiably tries, to be heard. — Playing Saturday Morning in Cinema 3.
