The Cinema Eye Honors, documentary awards organized by AJ Schnack and Indiepix for the first time last year, are returning this March and the shortlist has just been announced. Here are the lucky films:
- American Teen
- The Betrayal (Nerakhoon)
- Encounters at the End of the World
- The English Surgeon
- Forbidden Lie$
- In a Dream
- Man on Wire (review)
- My Winnipeg
- The Order of Myths
- Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired
- Standard Operating Procedure
- Stranded: I’ve Come from a Plane that Crashed on the Mountains
- Trouble the Water (review)
- Up the Yangtze (review)
- Waltz with Bashir (review)
I was actually strangely excited by the fact that I’d only seen five of the nominated films. It just shows how much great work is being produced each year. I’m looking forward to seeing a few more of these soon, hopefully before the awards are announced in New York City on March 29th.
