The 2010's Fresh Air Award

Episode #20 - Welcome to a totally different kind of Feature & a short. Inspired by the podcast format of Filmspotting’s Best of episodes and award shows, Fourwind Films has decided to dedicate a podcast to talking about the best of the 2010 decade. We’ve picked a panel of four people who love films to discuss their favorite films of the decade. At the end the group will be begin a Fourwind tradition giving out the Fresh Air Award for the film that pushed cinema forward the most as an art form during its decade.

The four cinephiles in the panel to discuss films from 2010-2019 are Justin Joseph Hall, Thomas Kelsey, Jasmine Szympruch, and Elizabeth Yoo. They all are New York based cinephiles. For each below category each panel member presented 5 films. The group chats movies around a table in a normal New York apartment, heaters, fridge noises, sleepy dog and all.

First the panel discusses the best shorts of the decade. To prevent spoilers below is the link to all the nominations. Read the description to see who nominated them:
