Ryan White: Last News

Clayton Davis The Critics Choice Documentary Awards announced its nominees where Sara Dosa’s lava-fueled love story “Fire of Love” led the field with seven nominations including best documentary feature and director. Co-distributed by National Geographic and Neon, the film’s Ryan White’s “Good Night Oppy,” the moving reflection on the Mars rovers, received a hearty six-nom tally including editing and score. “This year’s nominees prove that documentaries of all lengths and formats are advancing nonfiction media like never before,” said Christopher Campbell, Co-President of the Critics Choice Association Documentary Branch.

Lisa Kennedy “Come See Me in the Good Light” director Ryan White has made a documentary that mirrors the way he felt when he first arrived at the home of spoken word artist Andrea Gibson, who has been diagnosed with incurable ovarian cancer, and their spouse, poet Megan Falley. Like their greeting, the documentary comes as an unexpected and welcoming invitation to stay awhile, even play awhile. If that seems at odds with the deep pain, the arduous treatments and the medical assurances of an early death they face, the film — which won the Sundance Film Festival’s Festival Favorite Award on Sunday evening — disabuses viewers of that notion.

Come See Me in the Good Light, in the Premieres category, received the Festival Favorite award at the 2025 edition of the Sundance Film Festival, voted for by the audiences from all the new feature films presented. Looking ahead to next year, the fest announced dates for the 2026 edition, taking place in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah, from Jan. 22 to Feb. 1.

Eldorado: Everything the Nazis Hate, reveals a more complex portrait of queer Berlin during the rise of the Nazis.Cantu, German-Hungarian and raised in Berlin, where he’s currently based, professes that before researching Eldorado, he also held fast to legends of Weimar Berlin’s wild parties and sexual liberation.“But when we dig deeper into it,” he says, “it is much more nuanced and much more controversial, especially because the time in the Weimar era in Germany was politically very, very turbulent, and there was a lot of conflicts within society, but also, on a small scale, for people on the streets. So the tension was quite strong.”The danger was real, for the queer and Jewish artists, performers, and impresarios who were the life of the party at cabarets like the film’s namesake, the Eldorado.As depicted through engrossing archival footage and lush dramatizations (separately directed by Matt Lambert), queer regulars at the Eldorado risked harassment and blackmail, as well as being beaten in the streets by the Brownshirts of the Nazi SA, or jailed in police raids.
