The Cinema Eye Honors for Nonfiction Filmmaking were founded in late 2007 to recognize and honor exemplary craft and innovation in nonfiction film. Cinema Eye’s mission is to advocate for, recognize and promote the highest commitment to rigor and artistry in the nonfiction field. Since 2011, the Cinema Eye Honors Awards Ceremony have been held in early January at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, New York. The Awards Ceremony marks the conclusion of Cinema Eye Honors Week, several days of film screenings and events honoring the year’s nominees and the best of nonfiction cinema. Through Cinema Eye Week and its activities throughout the year, Cinema Eye seeks to build and nurture the nonfiction film community.
