Cinema Eye Honors
Award
The Cinema Eye Honors are awards recognizing excellence in nonfiction or documentary filmmaking and include awards for the disciplines of directing, producing, cinematography and editing . The awards are presented each January in New York and have been held since 2011 at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens.[ 1]
History
Nominations for the awards are determined by voting of top film festival documentary programmers and winners are voted on by an invited membership of more than 800 documentary film experts. Cinema Eye also presents an Audience Choice Prize where voting is open to the public and the Heterodox Award.[ 2] [ 3]
The first Cinema Eye Honors were presented at the IFC Center in New York City on March 18, 2008.[ 4]
