What’s Up Doc? – Cinema Eye Honors

Date:

Many would say that at this year’s Academy Awards got the documentary film category “right”. The “right” doc film won and even the final nominees were worthy mentions. But all this doesn’t make the Cinema Eye Honors mission less “important”. Now in their second year and with eleven categories, a quirky film such as Guy Maddin‘s My Winnipeg receives a little bit more acknowledgement before disappearing on shelves, those who edit and photograph doc films have any evening reserved all to themselves and newbies to docu filmmaking world have a shot at getting some cred and mingle with the right crowd. The ceremonies take place on Sunday, we’ll be reporting on who the winners are from the categories below. Make sure to check out their newly designed website
