CINE’s mission — to serve emerging
and established film, video and new media professionals and to honor
them with our prestigious award — has enabled us to enhance the careers
of many, and has put us in the paths of some truly exceptional people.
In its first half-century, CINE has a remarkable track record for its
early recognition of talent. As we begin our next fifty years, we are
honored to introduce our Honorary Board of Directors, comprised of some
notable CINE Golden Eagle Award winners and others who have had a significant
impact on the industry of mass media.

Awards and was presented with the CINE Leadership
Award in 2003.
