The Grierson Trust announced today (22 July) the shortlist for the awards ceremony in November.
We’d like to congratulate the members shortlisted for their work this year. The nominees will be announced Monday, 23 September. The shortlist can be viewed on the Grierson Trust website.
Lorraine Heggessey, Chair of The Grierson Trust said: “This year’s shortlist highlights the power of documentaries to tell new stories that cut through in a sea of content that’s constantly fighting for our attention. These films really connect with audiences, uncovering characters and perspectives that have previously been unseen. We have been so impressed by the breadth and range of entries which demonstrate that – despite the very difficult current climate – our industry remains committed to identifying new talent and exploring pressing issues such as mental health, sexuality, gender, and disability, all through best-in-class filmmaking.”
The Grierson Trust recognises and celebrates documentaries from Britain and abroad that have made a significant contribution to the genre and that demonstrate quality, integrity, creativity, originality and overall excellence. The winners will be announced Wednesday, 6 November at the Roundhouse in Camden, London.
