“The left thinks you’re domestic terrorists. The right says you’re all just tourists. But the United States government thinks you’re all insurrectionists.” That’s the crux of the new HBO Original documentary “The Insurrectionist Next Door.”
The newly released trailer for Alexandra Pelosi‘s 15th documentary for HBO features the filmmaker traveling cross-country to speak with those who have faced criminal prosecution for their roles in the events of Jan. 6, 2021. Pelosi is the daughter of the former House speaker Nancy Pelosi. This leads Alexandra to ask one participant, “Did you go to the Capitol to assassinate my mother?”
The film, from the director of “Pelosi in the House” and “Journeys with George,” will premiere on HBO on Oct. 15 at 9 p.m. and concurrently stream on Max. Through interviews conducted over two years, Pelosi speaks to individuals charged with crimes for their participation in the insurrection.

Ace Eddies: ‘Top Gun: Maverick,’ ‘Everything Everywhere’ win over Oscar rivals for Best Film Editing
“Top Gun: Maverick” got a big boost in its bid for Best Editing at the Oscars with a win at the Ace Golden Eddie Awards on March 5. It prevailed in the drama race at these awards bestowed by American Cinema Editors over two of its Oscar rivals –“Elvis” and “Tár ” — as well as “All Quiet on the Western Front” and “The Woman King.”
Another of the Oscar nominees, “Everything Everywhere All at Once ” won the comedy/musical category over the fifth Oscar contender, “The Banshees of Inisherin,” plus “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery”, “The Menu” and “Triangle of Sadness.”
Since 1990, the film that came up with one of the ACEs went on to win the top prize at the Academy Awards 18 times, including the 2020 winner for best drama editing, “Parasite.” And in 10 of the 14 years when the Ace barometer was wrong, at least one of the Eddie champs was a contender for Best Picture.

American Cinema Editors announced winners in 14 categories March 5 during the 73rd annual Ace Eddie Awards. And all five Oscar nominees were included among the nominations — though spread out between two categories.
Historically, the Eddie winner for theatrical drama has also won the Academy Award 13 of 22 times‚ but not in the last three years. Whether or not that streak will hold remains murky since Oscar nominees “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Everything Everywhere All at Once” both took home trophies.
“The Woman King” director Gina Prince-Bythewood received the Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award, while film editors Lynne Willingham and Don Zimmerman received Career Achievement Awards.
Other winners included awards season faves “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio,” “Fire of Love,” and “The Bear.” See the complete list of winners, marked in bold, below.

Back in October, when documentary footage emerged of Nancy Pelosi from January 6, 2021 — footage whose juiciest elements included the then-speaker of the House saying she wished she could go to jail for punching the then-president of the United States — reactions from the right were predictable. And banal.
A frequent refrain around Twitter and other social media declared it mighty suspicious that on such an otherwise innocuous day, Nancy Pelosi would just happen to be followed by a documentary crew — as if this validated the idea that January 6 was a false flag operation. There was skeptical Zapruder-like analysis of what the footage did or did not show.
Let’s leave out whatever probative value the footage does or doesn’t have. Let the January 6 Committee decide. Or not. Let’s get to the first part of the conspiratorial blather: Alexandra Pelosi, not even vaguely coincidentally Nancy Pelosi’s daughter,...

Director Alexandra Pelosi, daughter of outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was following her mother when she was escorted out of Congress during the January 6 insurrection.
That footage, which was broken by CNN last month, saw Nancy Pelosi threaten to punch out former President Donald Trump as a result of his actions on that infamous day.
It has now emerged that the documentary film that Alexandra Pelosi was making will launch on HBO.
Pelosi In The House, which will launch on December 13, will see the Journeys with George director take a behind-the-scenes look at Nancy Pelosi, through her career milestones leading up to the inauguration of President Joseph Biden in January 2021.
The doc was filmed in a cinéma vérité style over the course of three decades.

On Sunday I attended two editing-focused events at Doc NYC Pro. The “Morning Manifesto” was delivered by Matthew Hamachek, editor of films including Cartel Land and Amanda Knox. Later that afternoon, veteran editor Geof Bartz, Supervising Editor at HBO and a three-time Oscar winner, gave a masterclass on what to do when the pieces don’t fit. Having recently taken the Edit Center’s six-week Art of Editing Course at the Ifp Made in New York Media Center, and currently assisting on the edit of a feature doc with a lot of moving parts, this seemed like a good way to spend […]...

Robert Weide's film about Lenny Bruce serves an invaluable function in providing information about a seminal cultural hero whom everyone seems to know of without knowing much about.
This cogent, well-organized, informative and engrossing documentary is a must-see for anyone interested in how Bruce changed the face of comedy and led the way toward today's anything-goes culture. Produced by HBO, it is receiving its premiere engagement at New York's Film Forum.
The film breaks no new ground stylistically; it is a conventional documentary, a chronological portrait of Bruce's life as told through archival footage and talking heads. But when the story is this powerful and the central figure so dynamic, there is no need for fanciness.
The project details Bruce's evolution from a conventional, shtick-ridden comic to a taboo-busting social commentator whose use of profanity and thoughtful but hilarious explorations of such subjects as race, sex and religion led to his downfall. Weide's thesis is that Bruce's social criticism, much more than his use of explicit language, is what led the authorities to crack down on him, and he makes his case with conviction. He also doesn't neglect to chronicle the less attractive aspects of Bruce's life, including his drug addiction, but neither does he dwell on them.
Included is much fascinating rare footage. Assembled are home movies; clips of Bruce's appearances on television shows that haven't been seen in decades (and in one case, never, since it was deemed too controversial for broadcast); scenes from a grade B crime movie that Bruce directed, wrote and starred in; a television interview with Nat Hentoff in which Bruce was clearly stoned; and news footage in which Bruce's naked corpse is surrounded by police and photographers. We also get to see and hear many examples of Bruce in his prime, with excerpts from many of his classic routines.
There are also interviews with a wide cross-section of those who knew him best: his late mother, Sally Marr, ex-wife Honey, daughter Kitty, friends and colleagues, lawyers and managers -- even the assistant district attorney who helped prosecute him. The entertaining narration is provided by Robert De Niro, no insignificant cultural icon himself.
"Lenny Bruce: Swear to Tell the Truth" gathers force in its final segments, when it depicts Bruce's mental, physical and emotional decline as his career was systematically destroyed. It tells an important story, and it does so with insight and intelligence.
