14 Cinema Eye Honors
Legacy Award — Eyes on
the Prize: “Bridge to Freedom:
1965” — Eyes on the Prize is the
definitive documentary record of
the civil rights era in America.
Over two series and fourteen episodes,
Hampton and a purposefully
diverse team of producers, writers
and directors traced the country’s
long and brutal march toward equality
and the fight to end decades of
discrimination and segregation. In
“Bridge to Freedom: 1965” — the
sixth and final episode of the first
season of Eyes on the Prize, and
a nominee for the 1987 Academy
Award for Best Documentary — a
decade of lessons learned within the
Civil Rights movement is applied in
a climactic and bloody march from
Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. A
major victory is won when the federal
Voting Rights Bill passes, but civil
rights leaders know they have new
challenges ahead. The screening will
be followed by a discussion among
five of the series’ creators, on the
occasion of Eyes on the Prize being
given the Cinema Eye Honors Legacy
Award at the upcoming Cinema Eye
Honors, the awards program that
celebrates excellence in artistry and
craft in nonfiction filmmaking.
When: 7 p.m.
Where: Museum of the Moving Image,
36-01 35 Ave., Astoria
Cost: $15, $11 seniors and students,
$9 youth, free for children under 3
and Museum members.
