CATS OF MIRIKITANI at Tribeca
| Thanks to our filmmakers and interactive producers, ITVS has a lot to be proud of as we celebrate our 15th anniversary throughout 2006. Since the beginning of the year, ITVS filmmakers have been taking home top awards and honors from leading film festivals as well as garnering prestigious national film and media awards. Here are highlights from the first half of 2006—and congrats to all!
Two acclaimed ITVS films were winners of a George Foster Peabody Award for 2006. The Peabody Awards are the oldest awards in electronic media and are often cited as the most prestigious. CHISHOLM ’72: Unbought and Unbossed, by Shola Lynch and Phil Bertelsen, and A ROOM NEARBY, by Paul and Sandra Ferlinger, were among the 32 honorees.
