Some Incredible Documentaries I discovered at the Phoenix Film Festival this Year – 2025
Movies drill their way into your heart all the time, do they not? They help you recall a conversation, a loved one, spark your imagination, and make you cry. They strike fear in you, they thrill, make you laugh, help you recall old memories, and haunt you. What better way to make all that happen than at a great film festival? There is hardly a better Film Festival than ours here in Phoenix.
The Phoenix Film Festival is not only the place to “Find Your New Favorite Movie,” but it could be where you find your new best friend. Walking into the lobby of Harkins Theater at Scottsdale 101 to watch the next feature film, short film, or panel you’re headed to can lead to conversations about the joy of cinema. Everyone is excited and doesn’t always have someone to share it with, so be cognizant of who’s around you. Also, don’t be shy if you’re one of those people. While in your seat, whoever you’re sitting by is a film lover, too. Maybe, open the booklet you just picked up (a paper version of IMDB), which is filled with information about what 2025 has in store for us, and ask the people around you what’s next on their list. The people you’re talking to may be filmmakers, as well. Listening and sharing could lead to something unexpected.
I say all this because this is what I do at the fest. I want EVERYONE to go to the PFF, at least once, so they experience the fun of it, as I do. Afterwards, maybe they’ll decide never to stop going, as I did.

Omnivore AppleTV+ Series Review
I usually don’t give 100% to what I watch because how could anything be perfect? I’ve handed them out from time to time, but not often. However, “Omnivore,” narrated by the famous chef RenĂ© Redzepi of Noma, is another animal. It’s the perfect dish, no matter how you serve it.  Read more
