Edward Snowden doc “Citizenfour” dominates Cinema Eye Honors |

January 8, 2015 - 12:20 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net - Edward Snowden documentary Citizenfour dominated Wednesday, Jan 7 night's 8th annual Cinema Eye Honors, devoted to recognizing the best in nonfiction film, The Hollywood Reporter said.

The Laura Poitras-directed film about the NSA leaker, which is a frontrunner for a best documentary Oscar nomination, took home four awards, including best nonfiction feature and best direction, making Poitras the first person in Cinema Eye history to win the award for best direction twice, taking home the prize in 2011 for The Oath. In total, Poitras took home three awards, tying the record set by Lixin Fan in 2011 for Last Train Home. Citizenfour also won the outstanding achievement in editing and production prizes, becoming the second film in Cinema Eye history to capture that many awards in one year and win the best nonfiction feature and direction prizes. Going into the show, the documentary was up for six awards.

Fellow Oscar documentary frontrunner Keep On Keepin' On won the audience choice prize, determined by votes on the Cinema Eye website.

There were two ties at this year's awards, a Cinema Eye first. Syd Garon of Jodorowskys Dune and Heather Brantman and Tim Fisher of Particle Fever shared the award for outstanding achievement in graphic design or animation. 20,000 Days on Earth's Erik Wilson and Virunga's Franklin Dow and Orlando von Einsiedel shared the best cinematography prizes.

Oscar-nominated director Sam Green hosted this year's event, at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, and Serial podcast host Sarah Koenig served as the announcer for the awards show.

Cinema Eye was founded in 2007 to recognize excellence in artistry and craft in nonfiction filmmaking and remains the only international nonfiction award to recognize a film's entire creative team. The film nominees are determined by top documentary programmers from festivals all over the world. The television award nominees were selected by a nominations committee of film critics and writers.
