2010 CINE Special Jury Award Recipients – Clips, Links, Photos and More

Have you checked in on our 2010 Special Jury Award winner pages? If not, you haven’t watched the clip for the remarkable documentary 102 Minutes That Changed America/I-Witness to 9/11, which takes you through the events of September 11 in real time through eyewitness footage; or seen photos from the wrenching doc Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father, winner of the People & Places category, and followed links to the film’s website, Netflix page (where you can stream the entire film online) and Amazon listing; or watched a Dutch painting come to life in the clip for Keeping Order: A Fort Orange Court Record, looked at the photos to see how the film was made, then checked out the website of the museum that screens the production daily.

We’re updating the pages frequently, so keep checking back for more content. After the jump, a list of the posted clips, links and pictures, along with a couple of our favorite photos from Special Jury Award-winning films.

The 2010 CINE Special Jury Award Winners

Due to severe constant snowstorms in the DC area – and seriously, Mother Nature, not cool at all – we’ve been closed for most of this week. So please excuse our absence; BUT, to make it up to you, we’ll be posting twice today. Our Friday Film Quote will be up this afternoon.

First, though, we’re thrilled to announce the recipients of the 2010 CINE Special Jury Award. Chosen from among our 2009 Golden Eagle Award recipients, this is an amazing crop of productions. Check out our earlier post to see how the Special Jury Award winners were chosen.

We’ll be spotlighting our Special Jury Award-winners in the weeks to come with Q&As, clips and pictures, but in the meantime, check out the full list here.

And if you can’t wait for clips, here are links to a few of the CINE Award-winning films, in their entirety, online.

  • Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (Professional Telecast Non-Fiction – People & Places) on Netflix
  • Reach (Student Entertainment – Animation)  on YouTube
  • The Music Instinct: Science & Song (Professional Telecast Non-Fiction – Arts, Leisure & Lifestyle) on Netflix

The CINE Special Jury Award

This week, we’ve been calling our 2010 CINE Special Jury Award winners to notify them of their win. That’s a task that never gets old, frankly. We’ll be posting the complete list of winners soon – and it’s a remarkable crop, watch as many as you possibly can – but until then, we wanted to take a minute to explain what the Special Jury Award is, and why the recipients are so extraordinary.

CINE holds two competitions per year to select recipients of the CINE Golden Eagle Award. The Golden Eagle is bestowed based on the individual merits of the film, and not in competition with the other entries in its category; if a category has 100 entries, there can be 100 Golden Eagle winners or none, depending on the quality of the submissions, and to receive a Golden Eagle, a production must achieve excellence in all facets.

In January, CINE’s Board of Directors meets to select the best Golden Eagle Award-winning film of the previous year for each of CINE’s categories, which become the winners of the CINE Special Jury Award. From the hundreds of submissions that CINE received in 2009, these productions are the 30 (or so) best.

Soon we’ll post clips, pictures and links from the 2010 Special Jury Award recipients, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts about these wonderful films. If you want to see your name in those ranks, enter your production into our Spring 2010 Competition, and hopefully we’ll see you back here next year.
