Beautiful documentary following sculptor and photographer Andy Goldsworthy around the world detailing his process of creating temporary pieces of environmental art. Meditative, inspiring, engaging – it's everything you want in an art doc.

Incredibly serene and soothing documentary following a man canoeing and adventuring through Ontario and Lake Superior, him painting scenes, being one with nature, and just musing on a life outdoors.

I just watched Anselm (2023) by Wim Wenders; it made me think about how much room there is for documentary and art films to work with 3D in ways that blockbusters have not. Seeing a still shot of a forest at sunrise, or the pages of a book slowly being turned in 3D, was somewhat of a revelation for me.

Maybe some unorthodox choices but I’ve always been into non-narrative, experimental documentaries. Some of the best I know are “As I Was Moving Ahead, Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty”, “Koyaanisqatsi”, “Sans Soleil”. These were some of the purest, most powerful cinematic experiences I’ve had in my life, so I’d suggest you peep them.
On a (slightly) more conventional note, literally any documentary made by Herzog

Get a haircut, get rid of some clothes you haven’t worn in years, get a new houseplant, get in touch with the changing season, get grounded, get stoned, get in touch with some old friends, get some ice cream, get going

Friends you met out in the neighborhood at a bar or park or cafe or wherever a couple times and struck up a rapport with.
You don’t have eachother’s phone numbers, no social media info.
I have a couple friends like this and it’s been such a nice social change up. Always a pleasant surprise to bump into them out and about.
