“Sometimes the Past Is a Snake”: Tatiana Fuentes Sadowski on the Legacy of the Rubber Trade in ‘The Memory of Butterflies’

Close to the start of her hypnotic documentary The Memory of Butterflies, director Tatiana Fuentes Sadowski describes the moment that inspired the film. While looking through a selection of propaganda images taken by a company operating in the Amazon during the late 19th-century rubber boom, Sadowski came across a posed portrait of two young Indigenous men. In the image, the pair stands hand in hand dressed in Western clothes, stiff suits and ti…Manaus · Manaus Read Article

The Synthesis: ‘Deepfaking Sam Altman’ Director Adam Bhala Lough Says Documentarians Should Get Good Lawyers

When making Deepfaking Sam Altman (2025), documentary director Adam Bhala Lough (Telemarketers) found himself in deep doo doo. Despite months of trying, he still hadn’t gotten access to an interview with Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) for a film Lough had promised about AI. So he took a page from Altman’s own MO. The resulting film follows Lough setting about on his journey, working with deepfakers in India, meeting with lawyers, and ultimately spen…India · India Read Article

The World’s a Stage: An Introduction to ‘Grand Theft Hamlet’ and Other Documentaries Made in Video Games

Pinny Grylls and Sam Crane’s Grand Theft Hamlet (2024) is the latest in a wave of documentaries shot entirely inside Grand Theft Auto or other video games. Playing a game is often no longer a solitary exercise but a social one, and we can understand games not as experiences separate from the “real” world but as an extension of it. Within that new paradigm, it makes sense that we’re seeing more documentaries explore game spaces as if they are phy…Video Games Read Article
