Title: Ramadan in Quarantine
Runtime: 6:28
Date posted: 6 years ago
Description: During Ramadan, Muslims come together to pray, fast, and celebrate the Quran. This year, for the first time in history, Ramadan is being observed in isolation—no mosque, no extended family gatherings, and no traditional Eid celebration.

Sherihan Moustafa, 33, is a Brooklyn-based mother of six and a devout Muslim. She’s also an entrepreneur; her company, Urban Modesty, caters specifically to trendy, modest clothing for Muslim-Americans.

In a new short documentary from The Atlantic, Moustafa and her family explain the challenges of practicing Ramadan during a pandemic. “It’s a test,” she says. “It’s a difficult time to be a mom or to have a business, or any of that. But there are a lot of people that are far worse off.”

Besides, she says, “Ramadan also teaches you to be grateful for everything you have.”

Title: The Iguana King
Runtime: 9:45
Date posted: 7 years ago
Description: The population of green iguanas in Florida has grown rapidly in the past decade. The reptiles are not native to the state and were likely introduced through the pet trade, having either escaped from or been intentionally released by their owners. Warming temperatures across the state have allowed the species to thrive in the wild. They now occupy a strange space in the psyche of Floridians. They are at once a sought-after pet, a destructive pest, and a delicacy. This notoriety has birthed a cottage industry of iguana enthusiasts who are able to exploit these differences. Iguana trappers can arbitrage the species between those who want them off their property and those who want them displayed in a terrarium or prepared for a dish.

In this short documentary, The Atlantic follows an iguana hunter who has found yet another revenue stream for flipping iguanas: YouTube.

This short documentary explores the effect that the festival’s cancellation had on filmmakers who had so much at stake.

“The thing you’ve been working on in the dark for years is finally about to come into the light,” Sarah Brennan Kolb says in the film. Her feature debut "Good Ol’ Girl" was slated to premiere at the festival this year.

“I feel like a boyfriend has broken up with me—I have that sad pit in my stomach,” says another director, Jessica Wolfson, who is interviewed in the film.

While specifically about filmmakers, "The Rush" speaks to a complicated feeling...
