\n\tApple TV<\/a>\u2018s \u201cCome See Me In The Good Light,\u201d about poets Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley, will kick off the inaugural London-based documentary showcase LLDNDOCS on Nov. 21.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe newly formed three-day event will feature a lineup of 10 documentary features that reflect on how memory and time shape our relationships and the lasting impact they leave. In addition to Ryan White\u2019s \u201cCome See Me In The Good Light,\u201d the lineup includes fellow Oscar contenders Ben Stiller\u2019s \u201cStiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost\u201d (AppleTV), Brittany Shyne\u2019s \u201cSeeds,\u201d and Tamara Kotevska\u2019s \u201d The Tale Of Silyan\u201d (Nat. Geo.) The majority of screenings will be followed by a post-screening Q&A with attending directors, producers, and special guests.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe showcase will also feature one short film program comprised of Palestinian filmmakers engaging creatively with archival footage and images from Palestine.<\/p>\n

\n\tLLDNDOCS was created and launched by Ben Fowlie, the former Points North executive, artistic director, and founder of Camden Intl. Film Festival. Fowlie, who moved to London in 2024, conceived CIFF, a Maine documentary film festival, in 2004; the inaugural fest took place a year later. In 2016, Fowlie co-founded the Points North Institute, which produces the annual September doc fest, with Sean Flynn and Caroline von Kuhn.<\/p>\n

\n\tFowlie says that he launched LLDNDOCS \u201cto build greater access to bold, ambitious nonfiction filmmaking in a city that continues to be a vital center for the global creative documentary community. It\u2019s exciting to be helping to expand the awareness of the artists and stories pushing the form forward. For a city of nine million, London still feels intimate, and we intended to curate a program and create an experience that felt similarly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 2025 LDNDOCS showcase will take place Nov. 21 -23 at the Curzon Bloomsbury Cinema in the Brunswick Centre, London.<\/p>\n
