DocuWeeks Alums Triumph at Big Sky Doc Fest

By IDA Editorial Staff


With Waste Land, Killing in the Name and Sun Come Up scoring the Oscars nods out of DocuWeeks 2010, other Showcase alums have made their presence felt elsewhere. In the recently concluded Big Sky Documentary Film Festival in Montana, Thomas Bursteyn's This Way of Life captured the Best Feature Prize, while Steam of Life, from Joonas Berghall and Mika Hotakainen, took the Artistic Vision Award. Elsewhere among the IDA community, Darwin, produced by former IDA executive director Sandra Ruch and Documentary magazine contributing editor Taylor Segrest (also credited as writer), earned the Artistic Vision Award; Nick Brandestini directed.
