Earlier this month, the New York Times revealed several changes in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' process of reviewing documentaries for Oscar consideration. The most notable change being that, a movie must be reviewed by either the New York Times or the Los Angeles Times in order to qualify for consideration. The reason for this new rule appears to be an attempt to narrow an ever growing field of submissions. The Academy’s documentary branch reviewed 124 films in 2011, a 23% increase from the previous year. Additionally the Academy has indicated that they are trying to eliminate documentaries intended for television, which can qualify for Academy consideration through small theatrical releases. Other policy changes revealed by the New York Times include:

Last fall, WITNESS launched an online Video Advocacy Planning Toolkit designed for activists who are interested in using video to support their cause. This in-depth, 12-chapter Toolkit is one of the most thorough, useful resources we've found to help support documentary advocacy.

Jahaan London (PRO-TV 2009 Alum) has been working on a short documentary at DCTV for the last 2 months.

DCTV will be closed on Monday, January 16th, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

“The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood.”

We remember a big part of our family, and honor the passing of Big Al.

Same of the best and more of the rest!
