During this month when documentary films are on the ascendant (with the recently concluded DocNYC in the Big Apple and IDFA beginning in Amsterdam tomorrow), the Cinema Eye Honors for the top documentary films of the year were also announced. Winners of the 5th Annual Cinema Eye Honors will be announced on January 11, 2012 as Cinema Eye returns for a second year to New York City’s Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens.
