“Incident” Shows How Officers React When a Police Killing Is Caught on Tape A collection of surveillance and body-camera footage offers a raw look at the 2018 shooting of Harith Augustus, and at the immediate attempts to shape the story.

“Incident,” a short documentary directed by Bill Morrison and produced by Jamie Kalven, received the National Magazine Award for video. Rewatch the film, which was also nominated for an Academy Award this year.

Worst to Best: The 2025 Oscar Shorts Nominees Our annual ranked list may not give you an edge in Oscar pools, but there's still plenty of good films to see here.

Today at The Reveal I posted my annual ranked list of the 15 Oscar shorts. An excellent crop of films, by and large, particularly the docs. Bill Morrison's "Incident" is major. thereveal.substack.com/p/worst-to-b...

I find it a bit discouraging that the outgoing message on @Schumer.senate.gov New York office 212-496-4430 announces that his Washington office will be closed from December 23rd, 2024 to January 2nd, 2025 and is not taking incoming messages.

There will be a free theatrical screening of INCIDENT, presented by The @newyorker.com, with Q&A by me

New York - Thurs Feb 6,
7:00pm
DCTV’s Firehouse Theater

‘First thing we hear is a lie’: Body cam footage of police shooting of Harith Augustus Oscar nominee “Incident” uses police body and dashboard cameras, plus security cameras, to show a multi-angle replay of a Black man dying at the hands of Chicago law enforcement in 2018.

I was interviewed by Madeleine Brand of @kcrw.com Press Play about my film INCIDENT. I thought it came out well www.kcrw.com/news/shows/p...

@newyorker.com released two short films that have been nominated for the @academyawards.bsky.social - INCIDENT (short documentary) and I’M NOT A ROBOT (short live action)

Now that it has received a well-deserved Oscar nomination for Best Documentary Short, a reminder that @billmorrison.bsky.social's urgent, devastating film INCIDENT is available to stream at @newyorker.com.

So honored to have our work recognized among so many deserving films. Thank you! 🙏🏼

So good to see Bill Morrison finally get an Oscar nomination. They’d never nominate one of his nitrate efforts, but INCIDENT is no less a work of Morrison’s eminent style.

Last night we were thrilled that the @NewYorker.com doc INCIDENT won the @cinemaeyehonors.bsky.social award for Best Short Nonfiction Film. There is one more screening of the film this week at @MovingImage.org on Saturday 11 January at 5:00pm.

Thank you The @NewYorker.com and the @Invisible.Institute Congratulations to all the other films and filmmakers on this list! Five nominees will be announced on January 17…

Anyone who thinks about police violence/accountability must watch "The Incident" www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW65..., a 30-min doc by @billmorrison.bsky.social from footage of the killing of Harith Augustus by Chicago PD, gathered by Jamie Kalven of @invisible.institute. I can't stop thinking about it.
