CINE (Council on International Nontheatrical Events) is a non-profit organization based in Bethesda, Maryland. Founded in 1957 with the mission of selecting American films for international film festivals[1][2], CINE's focus has since evolved to supporting emerging and established producers of film, TV and digital media from all around the world through film competitions, educational panels, screenings and networking opportunities.[3]
About
CINE presents two types of awards: competitive and honorary. Competitive awards include the Golden Eagle Award™, (instituted in 1962)[4], Special Jury Award, Masters Series, and Award of Excellence. Honorary awards include the Leadership Award, Trailblazer Award, Lifetime Achievement Award, and Legends Award. Seperate from the Golden Eagle Awards, CINE also holds a Film Scoring Competition, which was launched in 2012.
CINE utilizes a jury system to select winners. CINE also presents individuals with special honors. Recent notable honorees include Marvin Hamlisch in 2012, Roger Ebert in 2005, and Ken Burns in 2003. [5] Many important filmmakers have received the Golden Eagle Award early in their career, such as Steven Spielberg for his first film Amblin', Mel Brooks for his first short film The Critic, and Ken Burns for his student film Brooklyn Bridge.[6]
