Cinema Eye has announced all of the nominees for their 2020 Honors, which recognize excellence in nonfiction filmmaking. Of six titles competing for Outstanding Nonfiction Feature, four are directed or co-directed by women: “American Factory,” “For Sama,” “Honeyland,” and “One Child Nation.”

Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar offer a look inside what happens when a Chinese billionaire buys a former GM plant in Ohio in “American Factory.” Directed by Waad al-Kateab and Edward Watts, “For Sama” chronicles life in Aleppo through five years of the Syrian revolution. Tamara Kotevska and Ljubomir Stefanov’s “Honeyland” is a portrait of the last woman working as a wild beekeeper in Europe. “One Child Nation” sees Nanfu Wang and Jialing Zhang investigating the untold history of China’s controversial one-child policy and its impact on generations of families.

“American Factory,” “Honeyland,” and One Child Nation” are also up for Outstanding Direction. Brett Story is in the running as well for “The Hottest August,” an examination of climate change through the eyes of ordinary New Yorkers.

Five of six features recognized in the Outstanding Debut category are helmed by women. Titles up for honors include Liza Mandelup’s “Jawline,” which documents a teen’s quest for social media stardom, and Ellen Fiske and Ellinor Hallin’s “Scheme Birds,” a dramatically different portrait of a teen, this one coming of age in Scotland.

Nominees in the running for Outstanding Editing include Lindsay Utz for “American Factory” and Jennifer Tiexiera for “17 Blocks,” a decades-long journey tracing the story of a family dealing with addiction and gun violence.

The awards ceremony will take place January 6. Head over to Cinema Eye’s website to check out all of the nominees.
