THE TRUFFLE HUNTERS ON A HOT STREAK
The past week has been a very good one for Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw's documentary The Truffle Hunters. The film has picked up serious critical and awards season love over the past few weeks including nominations for Best Documentary of the Year from the London Critics Circle Film Awards and the Denver Film Critics Society . Last week, the film was named Best Documentary by Capri, Hollywood-The International Film Festival.
Additionally, The Truffle Hunters were highlighted this week as a part of Deadline's Contender Series which features an interview with Dweck and Kershaw.
And if all that wasn't enough, Oscar experts are weighing in on the film's chances of ending up with an nomination for Best Documentary. Currently the Truffle love is showing up in predictions from:
Clayton Davis at Variety who lists the film at #3 on his list of potential Oscar nominees.
NOMADLAND LEADS THE GOTHAMS
TFF #47 selection Nomadland was on top at the recently announced Gotham Awards. The film picked up wins for Best Feature and the Audience Award.
Other main winners including Riz Ahmed for Best Actor for Sound of Metal.
