Right now, pundits have “American Factory” and “Honeyland” coming in before “For Sama,” but do not count it out, as it might just tug at the heartstrings more than those other two films can.
The International Documentary Association honored some the greatest of documentaries of the year including “Honeyland” and “For Sama.”
The awards were held in Berlin, Germany on December 7, 2019 at 19:00 CET (10am PST), hosted by Aiste Dirziute & Anna Brüggemann. The big winner was “The Favourite,” which took home eight awards, including Best European Film and Best European Director. Director Werner Herzog was on hand to accept his Lifetime Achievement Award and actress Juliette Binoche attended to accept her European Achievement in World Cinema Award.
The British Independent Film Awards highlight and reward the best, most innovative and creative independent filmmaking and filmmakers in the UK. They identify and encourage emerging talent, support and celebrate the independent film community and promote British film and talent to the public.
