INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARY ASSOCIATION NOMINATIONS ANNOUNCED


The nominations for the 2013 International Documentary Association awards have been announced, and I'm pleased to note that my favourite doc of the year, The Act of Killing, is on the list for Best Feature, alongside four other high profile, acclaimed documentary features. Winners will be announced in a ceremony on the 6th of December, as if I won't already have enough awards reporting to do then. Encouragingly, three of the films nominated for Best Feature were directed by women, and another one was co-directed by at least one woman. Alex Gibney, nominated for We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks, will receive the Career Achievement Award, Geralyn Dreyfous the Amicus Award, Laura Poitras the Courage Under Fire Award and Zachary Heinzerling the Jacqueline Donnet Emerging Documentary Filmmaker Award.
