The lights dim, the score plays, and a new world begins to form in front of our eyes. Settle into your seat and prepare to be transported via the silver screen. For so many of us, the film medium allows us to escape, dream and explore. Films, books, even music can transport you to new worlds, introduce you to lovable (and hate-able) characters… They put dreams and nightmares into your head, put new emotions in your heart, and new stories into your mind. It\u2019s a kind of magic. But there\u2019s also something to be said for the groundedness of reality. Real life is volatile, it’s gritty and fantastical, and sometimes beautiful as it is painful. And rather than transport us to fantasy worlds, real stories connect us with our own, heads hearts and minds. They introduce us to humanity at its highest, lowest, and everywhere in between. From November 21-23, LDNDOCS put up its inaugural event in London, a showcase of documentary and \u201ccinematic nonfiction\u201d films focused on time, memory, and relationships.

New Documentaries 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a friendship with a giant Manta Ray to a struggling cinema via a man’s reflection on his parents’ legacy, these films introduce us to new places, people, and thoughts. But contrary to tales of fantasy and escape, they\u2019re deeply grounded in reality, memory, and relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ryan White\u2019s \u201cCome See Me in the Good Light\u201d features Andrea Gibson, a spoken-word poet<\/a>, who passed away in July of this year after a battle with ovarian cancer.. The film documents their and their partners Megan Falley’s last few months as they dealt with health and hosted a \u201ccelebration of life\u201d final show.

“The Bend in the River” 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Robb Moss chronicles the lives of five friends over the course of nearly fifty years – Barry, Cathy, Jeff, Danny and Jim – in \u201cThe Bend in the River.\u201d The film is the third in a series featuring Moss\u2019 friends. In 1978\u2019s \u201cRiverdogs,\u201d Moss chronicled his group\u2019s experience serving as river guides in the Grand Canyon. Then, in 2003\u2019s \u201cThe Same River Twice,\u201d he returned to members of the group as they grappled with middle age. Now, with the group in their sixties and seventies, \u201cThe Bend in the River\u201d jumps back and forth in time. The film splices footage from all three periods and shows the friends contending with ageing and the lives they\u2019ve lived thus far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think friendship is a wildly underestimated emotional realm. Knowing people over time, having a sense of where they\u2019ve been, who they are, and who they are becoming is a deep and wide opportunity to vastly expand our knowing the world. I love my friends.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
