Only one documentary feature appears in both lists of nominees, “20 Days In Mariupol.”

As she did in The Mole Agent, in her new documentary, The Eternal Memory, Oscar-nominated director Maite Alberdi treats the subjects of aging and elder care with grace and compassion.

The personal documentary is an intimate collaboration with a woman bravely engaged in a battle to keep the mind of her husband, a former journalist, functioning as he struggles with Alzheimer’s.

Four Daughters

Kaouther Ben Hania’s Tunisian documentary Four Daughters won the top prize of best international film at the 2023 Munich Film Festival.The film tells the story of Olfa Hamrouni, a Tunisian mother whose two eldest daughters left the country to join the Islamic State in Libya, never to be seen again. In her exploration of Hamrouni’s story, Ben Hania hires two actors to play Olfa’s missing daughters. The docu-drama hybrid premiered in Cannes, where it won the Golden Eye for best documentary (shared with Asmae El Moudir’s The Mother of All Lies).
