To Frederick Wiseman, who at the age of 90 released City Hall, made in our own backyard, and to Zipporah Films for their dissemination of the film within a new exhibition landscape.

To the DocYard, for continuing to draw attention to important nonfiction films and filmmakers-and this year for recognizing Boston documentarian Lucia Small with a well-deserved retrospective.
