"We're Off to See the Wizard" is one of the classic songs from the #AcademyAward-winning 1939 film #TheWizardOfOz. Composer #HaroldArlen described it, along with "#TheMerryOldLandOfOz" and "#DingDongTheWitchIsDead", as one of the "lemon drop" songs of the film. The lyrics are by #EYYipHarburg. The melody's first appearance begins with the #Munchkins reciting and #JudyGarland echoing "Follow the #YellowBrickRoad".

#Palestinian Filmmaker Demands End to US-Backed '#EthnicCleansing' of #Gaza, #WestBank in Oscar Speech

"There is a different path, a political solution without #EthnicSupremacy," said Israeli filmmaker Yuval Abraham. "The foreign policy in this country is helping to block this path."

by Julia Conley, Mar 03, 2025

"The winner of the 2025 #AcademyAward for Best Documentary Feature Film has been unable to obtain distribution in #theaters or on #StreamingPlatforms in the U.S.—despite being the highest-grossing Oscar-nominated documentary in the rest of the world—but American viewers were able to hear directly from its filmmakers on Sunday night in speeches that condemned the U.S.-backed 'ethnic cleansing' of Palestinians.

"The directors behind #NoOtherLand, Israeli journalist #YuvalAbraham and Palestinian activist and lawyer #BaselAdra, accepted the Oscar while speaking out about the subject matter of their film, which was filmed between 2019-23, before Israel began its bombardment of Gaza in retaliation for a Hamas-led attack.

"'When I look at Basel, I see my brother, but we are not equal,' Abraham said. 'We live under a regime where I enjoy freedom under civil law, and where he is governed by military laws.'

"Adra and Abraham made the film to tell the story of #MasaferYatta, a collection of towns in the occupied #WestBank where Adra lives and where Israeli authorities and settlers have been attacking and evicting residents for years—claiming Israel has a right to use the land for a military training facility. The film chronicles Israeli soliders' killing of Adra's brother and their attacks on West Bank communities by demolishing homes, tearing down playgrounds, and filling water wells with cement so Palestinians cannot rebuild."

Watched the Latvian #Flow last night with one of my children and that’s sure an example of a #SacredMovie. I can certainly see why it is nominated for an #AcademyAward for Best #AnimatedFilm. There is no dialogue in this #movie—it’s about a #cat and some other #animals of various sorts, who live in a timeline where their planet is flooded, humans are gone, and they have to cooperate in order to survive. While the characters are more than slightly #anthropomorphic, for the most part these are realistic depictions of how animals generally behave, which I felt was engaging and drove the narrative because you didn’t have such a hard time #SuspendingDisbelief. The encounters with the #MirroredSurfaces refer to the ability of animals to be #selfconscious, and the #floods and foreboding referred to #humanity’s demonstrated inability to #selfreflect or head off #disaster. There were a number of #MagicalRealism elements that I felt are not to be taken literally, but directly lend to the thematic intent, so as to provide for metaphorically demonstrating the sacred quality of #community, and the redemptive power of #sacrifice.

Stylistically the #animation reminded me of Waking Life with its rotoscoping technique, crossed with the cel shading like from Zelda Breath of the Wild. As the creatures traipsed through watery gorges of lush greenery and tried to catch colorful fish swimming through recently flooded tropical forests, I was struck by the regard the animators paid towards faithfully rendering the movement, structure, and dynamics of living things in this #film, and how that really communicates the #joy and #awe we feel when we regard the #beauty, and #terror, of #life in its full extant.

My child said she loved when they found out that “real #friendship is more important than fake #friends.”

There were two of us to watch a moment in the lives of various animals brought together by an unspecified series of incidents, and a part of their journey in a familiar, strange world.

Sound design, animal behavior, and details are phenomenal; cat sounds, capybara chill, lemur upright.
