While I've yet to see the doc myself (I reference Claire Denis' White Material when I think of what the film might hold narratively), when the Cinema Eye Honor Noms were released I was surprised to see that, despite the positive buzz, Lucy Bailey and Andrew Thompson's Mugabe and the White African only manage to grab one nomination. Clearly the film is a favorite for the 2009 edition of the IDA Awards - it picked up three nominations in the Feature Documentary, ABCNews VideoSource Award an the Pare Lorentz Award categories.

The Cinema Eye Honors, my favorite awards ceremony after the Indie Spirits, has released the nominations in eleven categories with Louie Psihoyos’ The Cove racking up a total of seven nominations .

A trio of films from last year's batch (Nowhere Boy, Never Let Me Go and The Debt) that effectively received a greenlight, and are now in the can, and in the list's inaugural year, Grant Heslov's Men Who Stare at Goats was the top vote-getter.

That director R.W. Goodwin can pull some of these scenes off, regardless of how predictable they may be, without playing it as satire or parody shows how much of an honest homage Alien Trespass is to the monster and sci-fi films of the 1950s.

Looks like the IFC folks and filmmaker Armando Iannucci are making the most out of a Tribeca Film Festival showing, supporting the movie early on with some poster art eye candy (retro fit) which eventually comes out July 24th.
