And because of pandemic-related constrictions on festival play, the Cinema Eye Feature Film Nominations Committee selected 12 films from emerging filmmakers who lost their in-person festival premieres or runs for the new Stay Focused 2021 Initiative. Cinema Eye pledges to place a spotlight on these films in order to create more opportunities for these filmmakers after the pandemic. Cinema Eye will screen the selection in Los Angeles at the new Vidiots Theatre in Eagle Rock, which is scheduled to open in late 2021.
Finally, 10 films were announced as part of the Shorts List, Cinema Eye’s annual list of semifinalists for the Nonfiction Short Film Honor: “Abortion Helpline,” “This is Lisa,” “Broken Orchestra,” “Dafa Metti (Difficult),” “Flower Punk,” “Huntsville Station,” “John Was Trying to Contact Aliens,” “A Love Song for Latasha,” “See You Next Time,” “Then Comes the Evening,” and “The Toxic Pigs of Fukushima.”
The nominations in Cinema Eye’s Feature Film categories will be announced at a later date. The 14th Annual Honors Awards Ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday, March 9, 2021.
