Last week P.O.V. Executive Director, Simon Kilmurry announced the 2009 lineup for the renowned PBS documentary series. The diverse and award winning slew of films will surely satisfy the hunger of all nonfiction fans. Among the award-winning films and festival favorites we had to mention the addition of two of CIFF 08 favorites, Eric Daniel Metzgars Life.Support.Music and Aron Guadet and Gita Pullapilly’s The Way We Get By which will be featured this year as the November Special. For the complete list click here. From June 23rd on your Tuesday evenings should now be tied up!
Labrador Calls
Eric Daniel Metzgar, documentary filmmaker and CIFF alum (Chances of the World Changing, Life.Support.Music) is on a new adventure snowshoeing across 150 miles in Labrador with the Innu Nation. I had a chance to speak with him a few nights before he set out on the venture at True/False a week ago after a screening of his latest film, Reporter. This project is going to have a very unique web presence, and is hopefully something that will be done more and more as a way of archiving traditional storytelling. See what he’s up to and where he’s headed next on the projects website, Bed of Branches.
For more info on the project, check out this nice little summary at the PBS POV Blog.
CIFF Alums Represent at the 2008 CINEMA EYE HONORS
On December 1st, the 2009 nominees for the CINEMA EYE HONORS Awards were announced and we’re happy to say that several CIFF ’08 films made the cut! Created last year in response to the abysmal Oscar nominations for documentary film by Indiepix and a whose who from the independent documentary community, including blogger extraordinaire, AJ Schnack, the Cinema Eye Honors honors nonfiction films and filmmakers, recognizing the breadth of the genre and including the crafts of cinematography, editing, producing, directing, etc.
A big congrats and good luck to Full Battle Rattle, Secrecy, Life.Support.Music., and The Garden. Nominations will be whittled down by Sundance with awards in late March in New York.
