We are please to announce that Heddy Honigmann will be receiving Hot Docs' Outstanding Achievement Award and San Francisco Film Society will bestow its Golden Gate Persistence of Vision Award during their April festivals. Both awards are for exceptional, lifelong achievement in documentary. We have launched a new web page about Honigmann in our Featured Filmmakers section where you can read about her life and career, called by Karen Cooper, Director of Film Forum in New York, "one of the most brilliant documentarians working today."
