Turning to the Cinema Eye Awards, which recognize achievements in non-fiction and documentary films and TV series, this year’s nominees have been announced. “20 Days In Mariupol,” Ukraine’s Oscar-nominated entry, emerges as one of the leading contenders. Leading with six nominations at the 17th Cinema Eye Awards is “Kokomo City,” directed by D. Smith, while Mstyslav Chernov’s work in Mariupol receives five nominations, closely followed by films “32 Sounds” and “The Eternal Memory.”
About the documentary: Trapped within the besieged city of Mariupol, a team of Ukrainian journalists from the Associated Press faced the dual challenges of documenting the atrocities perpetrated by the Russian invasion force and ensuring their own survival. As the sole international reporters remaining in the city, they captured pivotal and haunting images that come to define the war: tragic scenes of dying children, mass graves, the bombing of a maternity hospital, and more.
