WATCH NOW on Field of Vision: Sandcastles by Carin Leong

As Singapore imports sand for urban expansion, a ghost town bearing its name lies buried underneath sand on the other side of the world. Sandcastles parallels two Singapores: one in Michigan where mass deforestation in the 1800s stirred surrounding sand dunes to swallow it whole, while its namesake in the East emerged from sand by reclaiming what was once only marshland and water.

Through a poetic and mythological approach, the ephemeral nature of sand underscores humankind’s fraught relationship with the element: how can we trust the very ground we walk on when it’s built with and destroyed by nothing more than sand?

Light of the Setting Sun will be available to watch on @IndependentLens starting next week!

A Chinese family’s multigenerational trauma unfolds across time, place, and identity. Turning the camera inward, filmmaker @vickydu_ traces her family’s mental illness back to the Chinese Communist Revolution of 1949. Spanning Taipei, Taiwan, and New Jersey, Light of the Setting Sun explores identity, gender roles, and whether or not healing can break the cycle for future generations.

The film premieres on Independent Lens next Monday, May 18, at 10/9c, and will be available to stream on the @PBS app through August 15.

Riotsville, U.S.A. by Sierra Pettengill is now streaming on The Criterion Channel!

Using training footage of Army-built model towns called “Riotsvilles,” where military and police were trained torespond to civil disorder, in addition to nationally broadcast news media, director @sierrapett connects the stagecraft of “law and order” to the real violence of state practice. Recovering an obscured history whose effects have shaped the present in ways both insidious and explosive, Riotsville, U.S.A. is a poetic and furious reflection on the rebellions of the 1960s—and the machine that worked to destroy them.

Nuestra Tierra opens this Friday, May 1, at @FilmForumNYC!

Mexico City, early 90s. The day Bruno turns 11, his growing feelings for his best friend Vladimir clash with the sudden announcement that his father has HIV.

Four Field of Vision-supported films will be screening at the 2026 Full Frame Documentary Film Festival next week!

Notably, Garrett Bradley’s America and Bassam Tariq’s Ghosts of Sugar Land will be presented through this year’s Thematic Program, curated by acclaimed filmmaker Robert Greene to address a central question: how can staged scenes and performance lead a viewer to recognize more deeply what is real and/or true?

Congratulations to all four of our film teams headed to @fullframefest! 👏

AMERICA
Directed by – Garrett Bradley
Produced by – Lauren Domino & Catherine Gund

Garrett Bradley’s “America” reveals and reinterpets a lost history in African-American cinema. Inspired by the earliest surviving feature film with an all-black cast and through a series of vignettes rooted in New Orleans, “America” challenges the idea of Black cinema as a wave or “movement in time,” proposing instead a continuous thread of achievement. (Thematic Program)

GHOSTS OF SUGAR LAND
Directed by – Bassam Tariq (@curry_crayola)
Produced by – Farihah Zaman (@brandnewfarihah) & Bassam Tariq

Shocked when their friend embraces extremism, a group of Muslim Americans in Texas recount their time with him and theories about his fate. (Thematic Program)
