What an incredible premiere of Why We Dream at @tribeca on Friday evening! Celebrating right on the @intrepidmuseum, the evening even included a 100th birthday party for one of the veterans—right on the 81st anniversary of D-Day. The powerful documentary follows a group of centenarian WWII veterans on their pilgrimage to Normandy—capturing stories of courage, sacrifice, and the passage of time. Flicker is extremely proud to have supported this project through post-production and to witness its impact on screen. Congratulations to everyone involved! Grateful to have been part of such a meaningful evening. #Delta #PulseFilms #FlickerFilmworks #WhyWeDream #DDay81 #Tribeca

We were lucky to work closely with Tony on Parts Unknown, and what you saw on screen was no act. He was exactly that person — raw, brilliant, endlessly curious, and deeply human. He listened. He cared. He led with heart, shining a light on people and places that so often go unseen. One episode, Under the Tarp, holds a special place for us. But it’s more than an episode — it’s a blend of voices. Ours. Yours. Tony’s. A shared memory, told by the people who traveled the world with him to tell stories that mattered. We’re especially proud that our editor, Mustafa (@mustafabhagat), was honored with the ACE Eddie Award for his work on the Senegal episode — a testament to the care, craft, and collaboration Tony inspired in everyone around him. You can find this episode & Under the Tarp on HBO Max or by using the link in our bio. We miss his laugh, his sharpness, his stubborn grace. We miss the way he saw the world — and helped us see it, too. #flickerfilmworks #anthonybourdain #partsunknown

We're beyond proud to celebrate the Webby Award win for What’s Next? (@whatsnextmovie), a powerful, beautiful documentary we had the honor of supporting through post-production. At 100 years old, Dr. Howard Tucker (@drhowardtucker)—recognized by Guinness as the world’s oldest practicing doctor—offers more than a medical legacy. Through the lens of his grandson, this film captures a rare, intimate look at aging, purpose, and family across generations. Congratulations to the incredible filmmaking team on this well-deserved recognition! 🎬 #FlickerFilmworks #WebbyWinner #WhatsNextDoc

Great shoot this past weekend for our Biodiversity film with our friends at the Hudson River Estuary Program, @outdoorpromise, @newburghwantsapark, @laura.heady and @ronaldzorrilla. We hiked up Snake Hill (the highest point in Newburgh!)— which was no easy feat, but well worth it for the amazing views (and even better company) at the top! Can’t wait to share the finished piece directed & produced by our very own @lauradeney —stay tuned! #FlickerFilmworks #Biodiversity #Newburgh

Art that reflects emotion, stirs movement, and echoes the world around it. Flicker Post's latest film Quiet Rhythm, created with Sam Schutz ( @georgiafilms ), celebrates Susan Sommer - an upstate New York painter whose abstract work invites us to feel more deeply and see beyond the surface. Drawing impulsive inspiration from artists like Georgia O'Keeffe, Charles Burchfield, and Arthur Dove, Susan channels that creative lineage into something uniquely her own. 🌿🖼️ #FlickerFilmworks #SusanSommer #UpstateCreatives #AbstractArtwork
