BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY presented by Panavision
50TH ATLFF

"The word 'bravery' came quickly to mind as we discussed our winning film. To landscapes and lives that have been shocked and disrupted by the force of nature, it brings an eye filled with patience and gentleness. From this delicacy, this camera surfaces images of great tenderness; the care in its handling inspires vulnerability and truth-telling in what it documents."

Winner — Dwarf Neon Mayfield

GRAND JURY AWARD — BEST DOCUMENTARY
MIMESIS FILM FESTIVAL

"Through sensitive listening and humanistic perspective, the film makes us reflect on those who stay in these devastated cities after a natural disaster. Between darkness and light, the film invites us to explore this portrait of today's United States and propose a collective way out. As the poet Antonio Machado said: 'Only the people will save the people.' The award for Best Documentary goes to Dwarf Neon Mayfield by Leland Nally."
