Writers of Indie Films CROWN HEIGHTS, GOOK, NOVITIATE Among Finalists for 43rd HUMANITAS Prize
[caption id="attachment_20168" align="aligncenter" width="1200"]
Crown Heights[/caption]
Thirty-one writers in six television, documentary and independent feature film categories have been named finalists for the 43rd Annual HUMANITAS Prize. The writers are nominated for their work in the 30-Minute, 60-Minute, Children’s Animation, Children’s Live Action, Sundance Feature Film and Documentary categories. Winners will be announced at the annual HUMANITAS Prize event on Friday, February 16, 2018 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
“In the past few years we have experienced a spectacular renaissance of television and documentary filmmaking,” observed LeRoi. “There is an embarrassment of riches in terms of both the quality and quantity of work, so choosing these finalists from among the wealth of notable submissions we received this year was a challenge — albeit a wonderful one.”
“Whether it’s a deep documentary dive into a challenging subject, a hilarious half-hour sitcom episode or a heartfelt independent feature, all of the finalists used their craft to create work that is both entertaining and enlightening,” added Young. “Television and film have incredible power when it comes to inspiring empathy, compassion, forgiveness and reason, and we are proud to support work that strives to do just that.”
The HUMANITAS Prize was created to honor film and television writers whose work inspires compassion, hope and understanding in the human family. Since its inception in 1974, The HUMANITAS Prize has awarded over $3 million to more than 360 deserving television and motion picture writers whose work affirms the dignity of the human person, probes the meaning of life, and enlightens the use of human freedom.
The HUMANITAS Prize television and documentary finalists are:

“MUDBOUND” “LADY BIRD” “THE BIG SICK” Among Films Nominated for 43rd HUMANITAS Prize
[caption id="attachment_20114" align="aligncenter" width="1200"]
The Big Sick[/caption]
Twenty-one screenwriters have been selected for their work on nine feature films as finalists for the 43rd Annual HUMANITAS Prize. For the first time, awards will be presented in three categories, drama, comedy, and family films, with three nominated films competing for each prize. The HUMANITAS Prize was created to honor film and television writers whose work inspires compassion, hope and understanding in the human family.
“Dividing the film awards into three genres allows us to recognize outstanding work across the broad spectrum of feature screenwriting,” explained Executive Director Cathleen Young. “At a time of great anxiety in our country, comedy writing that is both entertaining and life-affirming is more essential than ever. We also know that storytelling aimed at children has the capacity to impart valuable messages of tolerance, resilience and positive self-image. It was very important to us that the top contributions in these categories be honored alongside inspiring dramas.”
Winners will be announced at the annual HUMANITAS Prize event on Friday, February 16, 2018 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
“The new feature award format means we have a more diverse group of films than ever before,” remarked President Ali LeRoi. “But what struck us is how, despite being set in such different milieus and genres, they each portray characters who are struggling for knowledge, connection, freedom or justice, and inspire us in turn to see ourselves as characters in the larger human story of the struggle for these same goals.”
