00:00Last night, Sean Baker used his best director acceptance speech to advocate for going to the
00:04movie theaters. Movie theaters, especially independently owned theaters, are struggling
00:08and it's up to us to support them. During the pandemic, we lost nearly 1,000 screens in the
00:15U.S. If you're inspired by his words, here are three movies you need to watch on the big screen.
00:19First up, Nickel Boys. This Oscar-nominated film, set in 1962, Jim Crow-era Florida,
00:24is about two black boys sent to a reform school. It's shot in first-person point of view and
00:29unlike anything we've ever experienced before, so you should experience it in large format.
00:33Number two, No Other Land. This film just won the Oscar for Best Documentary. It's about an alliance
00:38that forms between the Palestinian activist Basil Audra and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham. We
00:43implore you to watch this moving film in community with other people at the theaters. Three, Mickey
00:4817. This film stars Robert Pattinson as a regenerating employee sent to colonize a land. The film's
00:53director, Bong Joon-ho, made the Oscar-winning film Parasite. Mickey 17 is a similarly genre
00:58bending spectacle.
