Prizes and Screenings at the Upcoming
Society for Visual Anthropology Film Festival
LA SIERRA was given the Award of Excellence, the highest honor the SVA bestows on a film.
THE DEVIL'S MINER was given an Award of Commendation, while
COMPADRE won the Fieldwork Prize, “since the problems it depicts are so like those of many anthropologists in the field, and so rarely discussed.”
