New Non-Fiction Awards
Angela
In response to the traditionalism evidenced by the short list of films in the best documentary category, prominent names in the documentary world came together to propose awards that honor craft in nonfiction filmmaking. IndiePixFilms supports this project by partnering with organizers AJ Schnack and Thom Powers, also co-chairs of the award ceremony. A prominent committee of festival directors will choose nominees in 8 different categories with voting by hundreds of members of the independent film documentary community. The award ceremony will be held at the IFC center in New York on March 18th, sponsored by IndiePix. IndiePixFilms stands by independent filmmakers with superior creative abilities and takes p ride in being instrumental in recognizing films and special crafts related to nonfiction filmmaking that made an impact this past year.
These awards come from the ongoing dialogue (and griping) about the documentary picks for this year’s Academy Awards. Since there are so many venues for fiction films to be awarded (and rewarded), it seems that adding another venue for non-fiction films to get some love can not hurt.
