It is time to roll out the best and worst of 2022. I'm starting out with the best documentaries of 2022. I didn't get to see many documentaries this year, so it was tough to create a top 5. I did know that Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me, Butterfly in the Sky, and Chop & Steele had to make my list. What docs am I missing? What was your favorite documentary of 2022? #appletv #selenagomez #selenagomezmymindandme #documentaries #filmcritic #oliviarodrigo #chopandsteele #butterflyinthesky #readingrainbow #thetinderswindler #oliviarodrigodrivinghome2uasourfilm #Netflix #staceylee #felicitymorris #bradfordthomas #brettwhitcomb #alexkeshishian #bensteinbauer #berndtmader #disneyplus

Bryan Storkel is producing for Sidestilt Films while Bryn Mooser, Justin Lacob, and Kathryn Everett are all serving as executive producers. #readingrainbow #levarburton #butterflyinthesky #pbs #BradfordThomason #BrettWhitcomb #BryanStorkel #SidestiltFilms #BrynMooser #JustinLacob #KathrynEverett
SUZANNE CIANI: A life in waves (2017) Um documentário que retrata a vida e as inovações marcantes da norte-americana Suzanne Ciani, e a forma como, a partir de uma educação musical clássica, se tornou financeiramente independente criando música e som para o mundo da publicidade, utilizando-o como campo para explorações e descobertas revolucionárias. Ciani é, actualmente, um dos nomes mais requisitados para os festivais de música da vanguarda electrónica, testemunho de um feliz encontro, ainda que tardio, com uma verdadeira visionária que soube criar um caminho próprio num mundo tão tradicionalmente dominado por homens. --- A Life in Waves explores the life and innovations of composer and electronic music pioneer, Suzanne Ciani. From her earliest days learning the piano, to her multi-million dollar advertising ventures, to her successes in the world of New Age music, to her recent re-connection with her beloved Buchla synthesizer, the film is a journey into Suzanne’s mind, offering a feminine glimpse into the often complicated world of electronic music. Utilizing a wealth of archival footage and Suzanne’s endless catalog of music, A Life in Waves is a nostalgic, visually-compelling look at one woman’s journey, and the trials she overcame to succeed in a traditionally male-dominated art form.

One genre I hold very closely to my heart is ‘nerd documentaries.’ Often deeply touching and always interesting, these films feature people who live on the fringes of society and paint fascinating and poignant pictures of the lives they lead. As a lifelong nerd, I treasure films that can find comedy in these outlandish and insular societies but never feel like they’re punching down. I recently added ‘Monster Camp’ to the collection and couldn’t be happier. These movies are comforting and I can watch them any time. — ‘The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters’ (2007) - Newcomer Steve Wiebe attempts to take the Donkey Kong world record from hot sauce mogul Billy Mitchell and finds the world of high-level arcade gaming a treacherous place. — ‘The Rock-afire Explosion’ (2008) - Focuses on the legacy of these well-known animatronic showmen, the genius inventor responsible for their creation and the megafans obsessed with them. — ‘Darkon’ (2006) and ‘Monster Camp’ (2007) both documentaries focused on LARPers (live-action role players), the fantasy worlds they inhabit, the real world they are escaping, and the lines that blur between the two. 🦍👾🔥🧙♂️💥🗡 #kingofkong #rockafireexplosion #therockafireexplosion #darkon #monstercamp #documentary #documentaries #nerd #geek #larp #larping #billymitchell #stevewiebe #sethgordon #brettwhitcomb #andrewneel #lukemeyer #cullenhoback #dvd #dvdcollector #filmcollector #filmcollection #cultmovies #cult #obscuremovies

THE ROCK-AFIRE EXPLOSION (2008) | Dir: Brett Whitcomb - Did you ever go to Chuck E. Cheese's as a kid or, heaven forbid, as an adult? Well, before that fugly rat and his crusty posse started stinkin' up the joint it was called Showbiz Pizza Place - a showcase for an early animatronic band dubbed Rock-afire Explosion. In this amusing doc we learn the lore of these hallowed matters and meet the man who created it all. There's also an obsessed fan who has acquired the whole band in his shed and programmed them to play contemporary pop. Fascinating subjects are a dime a dozen these days (as viewers we are spoiled rotten), this is certainly one of them. ★★★ #TheRockafireExplosion #BrettWhitcomb #Animatronics #AnimatronicBand #ChuckECheeses #FiveNightsAtFreddys #Documentary #Doc #Cineflect #InstaReview #FilmReview
