Do Not Split is a 2020 American-Norwegian documentary film directed by Anders Hammer. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject at the 93rd Academy Awards. Anders Hammer won the Video Journalist of the Year and the long documentary award for the film at the 2020 Photo of the Year Awards in Norway. The film won the Special Jury Prize at the AFI Docs 2020. The film was funded and produced by Field of Vision and supported by Fritt Ord and Viken Filmsenter.
Overview
The film is about 35 minutes long and records many landmark events of the anti-Extradition law movement, such as the siege of CUHK and the siege of PolyU. It also includes interviews with demonstrators and scholars at the scene, and the film also records the suppression of the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement (anti-ELAB) movement in 2020 and the passage of the Hong Kong national security law.
The director Anders Hammer believes that the anti-ELAB movement is one of the most important political events in the world in 2019, and that Hong Kong is facing challenges to democratic values, and hopes that the film will be as close to the events as possible, presenting the events from a street-level perspective.
Release
A 20-minute preliminary version was appeared at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival in January 2020. Then, a 35-minute cut was premiered at DOC NYC in the fall of 2020.
The film was screened at a number of film festivals internationally, including the New Orleans Film Festival in the US and the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival in Denmark. It was released by Field of Vision on 25 January 2021. Do Not Split is the third Field of Vision short film to receive an Oscar nomination in three years.
