A CHILD'S CENTURY OF WAR, a film about the increased vulnerability of children in modern warfare, was nominated in the Feature Length category. A poetic examination of a radical song that has long been the anthem of socialism and communism, THE INTERNATIONALE received two nominations, for Best Short Film and The Pare Lorentz Award. Finally, and THE TRIALS OF HENRY KISSINGER, which examines charges that the former Secretary of State and Nobel Peace Prize winner is a war criminal, was nominated for the ABCNEWS Videosource Award.
