A New Documentary Oscar Campaign Stop Launches in London

Apple TV‘s *Come See Me In The Good Light*, a documentary about poets Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley, will kick off the inaugural London-based documentary showcase LLDNDOCS on November 21.

The newly formed three-day event will feature a lineup of 10 documentary features that explore how memory and time shape our relationships and the lasting impact they leave. In addition to Ryan White’s *Come See Me In The Good Light*, the lineup includes fellow Oscar contenders Ben Stiller’s *Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost* (Apple TV), Brittany Shyne’s *Seeds*, and Tamara Kotevska’s *The Tale Of Silyan* (Nat. Geo.).

The majority of screenings will be followed by post-screening Q&A sessions with attending directors, producers, and special guests, offering audiences deeper insights into the films. The showcase will also feature a short film program comprised of Palestinian filmmakers creatively engaging with archival footage and images from Palestine.

LLDNDOCS was created and launched by Ben Fowlie, former Points North executive, artistic director, and founder of the Camden International Film Festival. Fowlie moved to London in 2024 and has an extensive background in documentary festivals. He conceived the Camden International Film Festival (CIFF) in Maine in 2004, with the inaugural event taking place in 2005. In 2016, he co-founded the Points North Institute, which produces an annual documentary festival each September, alongside Sean Flynn and Caroline von Kuhn.

Fowlie says he launched LLDNDOCS “to build greater access to bold, ambitious nonfiction filmmaking in a city that continues to be a vital center for the global creative documentary community. It’s exciting to be helping to expand the awareness of the artists and stories pushing the form forward. For a city of nine million, London still feels intimate, and we intended to curate a program and create an experience that felt similarly.”

The 2025 LLDNDOCS showcase will take place November 21–23 at the Curzon Bloomsbury Cinema in the Brunswick Centre, London.
