SW DocuFest - Award Winners!

 As our 2021 SW DocuFest comes to a close we wanted to congratulate all the Award Winners for this year's event!  We hope that you had a chance to see some of these films but if not you can always catch them as they make their festival rounds or when some of them inevitably find distribution.  We can't wait to see what all of our film-makes come up with next and we will see you at the 2022 SW DocuFest!

SW DocuFest - Nominations!

Our Festival Judge Philip Wray and his Jury had a tough time this year choosing who to nominate for awards but through careful deliberations we have now come up with the list of the best of the best!  As an added bonus we wanted to make sure that everyone knew that the films chosen for our Special Screening (Saturday, February 20th) included the Top 3 films as chosen by our staff members and not the Festival Judge and Jury.

SYNOPSIS:

In 1626, Dutch traders bought Manhattan for $24 of beads and gift product. Within 30 years, there were 1,000 residents, and 300 years later, there were 8 million. This film celebrates the muscle, size, and majesty of Manhattan, starting at the river's edge where a huge-jawed steam shovel dredges. It's on to an ocean liner, then to a hole in the ground where men swing pickaxes, sledgehammers, and shovels. The camera then slowly examines a stately building by the shore. Behind and beside it is the city.
