Film: Oscar’s Docs

From September until November 27th, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is having a screening series of every short subject and feature to win the Oscar for documentary filmmaking resumes in celebration of the Award years 1961–1976.

This comprehensive screening series of every short subject and feature to win the Oscar for documentary filmmaking resumes in celebration of the Award years 1961–1976. Screenings will be held on Monday evenings beginning on September 18 and continuing through November 27, offering a unique opportunity to observe the historical impact and evolution of the theatrical documentary. The retrospective will feature the best available prints of these films – often newly struck or restored editions from the documentary collection of the Academy Film Archive. Program handouts will feature comprehensive notes on the making of the films and include original still reproductions from the shorts and full-color reproductions of the original feature poster art. These will be complemented on many of the evenings by panel discussions with the filmmakers (schedules permitting). In addition, a special cast and crew reunion/panel discussion evening for Woodstock will be held on Tuesday, October 24.”
