Marshall Curry, USA, 7 minutes
On Feb 20, 1939, more than 20,000 people packed Madison Square Garden in New York City for an event now erased from popular memory. After locating and restoring the original footage, Marshall Curry edited it and set it to music, but instead of adding a traditional voice-over commentary, he decided to let the images speak for themselves. Nominated for Best Documentary Short at the 2019 Academy Awards.
