We started the vote without any clear front runners, but NO COUNTRY… quickly emerged as a favorite. It is a pleasure to welcome back these NY based filmmakers for their stunning achievement. It was also nice to see several debut efforts by female filmmakers (Sarah Polley for AWAY FROM HER and Marjane Satrapi for PERSEPOLIS) make our list this year. With such an interesting list of talented winners, I am really looking forward to our January 6th awards dinner.”
