More soon here on a wonderful night at the Times Center in NYC, but for now, check out the indieWIRE report. MAN ON WIRE takes the prize for Outstanding Achievement in Nonfiction Feature Filmmaking, while WALTZ WITH BASHIR wins four - Direction for Ari Folman, Music for Max Richter, International Film and Graphic Design/Animation for David Polonsky (who well represented his team and left the Times Center with a box - literally - full of Cinema Eyes). Yung Chang picked up the Debut Filmmaking and Audience Choice Prize for UP THE YANGTZE and Peter Zeitlinger received the Cinematography Award for ENCOUNTERS AT THE END OF THE WORLD. WIRE also received Cinema Eyes for Producing (Simon Chinn) and Editing (Jinx Godfrey).
For anyone interested in MAN ON WIRE there are two web sites that host the photographs used in the film. The two photographers who were featured in the film are Jean Louis Blondeau and NY based Jim Moore. The sites are as follows:

These two men made it possible for Petit to cross on the wire. Without their help it would not have been possible!
Check out the sites!

What a great set of photos, even if you have not seen Man on the Wire you still can enjoy that.
