Premios de la Asociación Internacional de Documentales 2007

Además de las nominaciones de las películas de animación en sus premios más importantes, la pasada semana se conocieron ya los ganadores de otro sector del cine: los documentales.

La International Documentary Association entregó sus premios anuales, cuya lista podéis ver a continuación.

De cara a los Oscars 2008, de momento hay una shorlist con 15 documentales candidatos de los cuales 5 serán los nominados finales. Entre ellos se encuentran 3 de los 5 nominados finales en estos premios: Taxi to the Dark Side, Sicko y Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience (no el ganador) y hay otros nominados en diferentes categorías.

En cuanto a los cortos documentales, en los Oscars 2008 los 23 iniciales se quedaron en 8 candidatos al Mejor Corto Documental de los que pueden ser 5, según la academia los nominados en la categoría. En este caso tampoco se encuentra el ganador entre esos posibles finalistas.

Esta es la lista de nominados y en negrita en cada apartado aparecen los ganadores, que seguro que hay a alguien que le interesa:
