More on Grierson Awards
Description from Wikipedia:
The Grierson Awards celebrate innovative and exciting new documentary films. The awards have been set up by The Grierson Trust to commemorate the life and work of world renowned Documentary Filmaker John Grierson. The awards were first set-up in 1972 and have run annually. In 2000 The Grierson Trust forged a link with the UK Film Council in order to expand the awards and add more prestige to the awards. The awards have grown in stature and recognition over the years and now are "more important (than ever). They have an impressive list engaging with a broad palette of styles and subjects from disabled people looking for love to asylums, Russian billionaires and global warming."
Grierson Awards are presented annually in nine categories:
*Best Documentary on a Contemporary Issue
*Best Documentary on the Arts
*Best Historical Documentary
*Best Documentary on Science or the Natural World
*The Frontier Post Award for Most Entertaining Documentary
*Best Drama Documentary
