Accolades 
Whitney Dow and Marco Williams’s TWO TOWNS OF JASPER and Linda Goode Bryant and Laura Poitras’s FLAG WARS both recently received a George Foster Peabody Award, which recognizes distinguished achievement and service. Three of the seven ITVS films that screened at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival were selected for awards: Rodney Evans’s BROTHER TO BROTHER, Special Jury Prize, Dramatic; Catherine Tambini and Carlos Sandoval’s FARMINGVILLE, Special Jury Prize, Documentary; and Ramona S. Diaz’s IMELDA, the Excellence in Cinematography Award, Documentary, awarded to cinematographer Ferne Pearlstein.
Jon Else, producer of SING FASTER and OPEN OUTCRY, was honored with the Golden Gate Persistence of Vision Award, given by the San Francisco International Film Festival to recognize lifetime achievements of filmmakers who are working outside the boundaries of traditional filmmaking. And a pat on the back to ITVS Interactive. The companion websites for The New Americans, Stanley Nelson’s A PLACE OF OUR OWN and Jim Wolpaw and Steven Gentile’s LOADED GUN were selected as USA Today Hot Sites. And Yahoo! Picks of the Day selected the sites for Shantha Bloeman’s T-SHIRT TRAVELS and The New Americans, which was featured in The Scout Report and on Yahooligans! as well.
The scoop on recent ITVS events:
ITVS previewed Kartemquin Films’ The New Americans with a reception in San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Co-sponsored by KQED, Active Voice and the San Francisco Foundation, the event featured discussions with the series’ producers and subjects. The New Americans also won Best Overall Program at the 40th Chicago International Film Festival. |
