Last week I was browsing through the streaming services, trying to find something different to watch. I needed a break from The Bachelor, Gossip Girl, and Twin Peaks, so I hopped onto Criterion to look for something a bit more unique. I ended up finding and watching a few of Vittorio's mini docs because they were short and seemed interesting enough.In Fishing Boats, you see get a first-hand perspective of a late 1950's Sicilian fishing crew braving torrential conditions to haul in their daily catch. In Islands of Fire, you see a small village nestled at the mercy of an active volcano, and what they go through when that volcano acts up. I watched these because they were short and different, but found myself oddly invested in the random fishermen/townfolk and will definitely be revisiting to check out some more doc shorts soon.
