oscar's documentary short list


Forgot to mention this news from a few weeks back... Last month, fifteen documentary films were announced as selections for the "short list" of titles competing in the Best Documentary Feature category at the 80th Academy Awards. Among the films, some titles of interest are Bill Guttentag and Dan Sturman's Nanking, Wejun Chun's Please Vote For Me (pictured above), and Steven Okazaki's White Light/Black Rain. View the full list of 15 here: 15 Films Selected for Oscar Short List in Doc Feature Category. The list will be narrowed down to five nominees to be announced in January. Cross your fingers.
