Hale County This Morning, This Evening

Why this pick

Its lyrical, nontraditional structure and attentive images build a social portrait through fragments and associations, suited to Rat Film’s blend of rigorous inquiry and striking visual texture.

The Gleaners & I

Why this pick

Varda’s witty, personal essay documentary follows overlooked practices and people while continually widening into questions of waste, value, and social structures—the same curious, connective spirit as Rat Film.

All That Breathes

Why this pick

Set amid Delhi’s pollution and social strain, this atmospheric documentary uses human care for injured birds to reveal an entangled urban ecosystem, with Rat Film’s sense that animal and civic life cannot be separated.
