The CINE Golden Eagle Film and Video Competitions, held each spring and fall, involve hundreds of volunteer media and content specialists who judge entries in several moving-image genres. Over the years, the judging procedure has evolved into an efficient multi-stage jury process to determine which productions are deserving of the coveted CINE Golden Eagle Award.


==History==
The CINE Golden Eagle Award acknowledges high quality professional production in a variety of content categories, as well as in student and independent works. Student productions are created not only in universities or graduate schools, but also in high schools, and even middle and elementary schools. Quality independent productions, produced by individuals who are not affiliated with the media industry are also recognized.
CINE's original name, the Committee on International Non-Theatrical Events, was chosen to create the acronym CINE,<ref>{{cite web|title=About CINE|url=http://www.cine.org/about-cine/|publisher=CINE|access-date=7 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130209214942/http://www.cine.org/about-cine/|archive-date=9 February 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref> after which it was then changed to Council on International Non-Theatrical Events. Over time the organization came to refer to itself primarily as CINE.


CINE's original purpose was to provide European film festival directors with representative American informational films to exhibit.<ref>{{cite web|title=History...What is CINE? |url=http://www.cine.org/history.htm |publisher=CINE |access-date=7 February 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19981207070311/http://www.cine.org/history.htm |archive-date=December 7, 1998 }}</ref> For decades, the CINE Golden Eagle Competition was a way for non-theatrical American films to gain access to festivals and even the [[Academy Awards]] before they stopped accepting entries from the majority of festivals and competitions.
In 2005, more than 400 jurors on over 150 juries judged over 1,000 entries in 28 categories. The names and descriptions of the productions receiving awards are included on the Winners page of this website. All winners receive award notification and a distinctive certificate by mail. Winners may also purchase the prestigious Golden Eagle statue for their production.
Eligible productions receiving a CINE Golden Eagle Award may be selected for overseas competitions, and CINE stands ready to assist producers and sponsors entering their productions in international film events worldwide.
Additional Awards - The Special Jury Awards, The Masters Series Awards and The Award of Excellence, Special Jury Awards are presented to the best productions in the various CINE categories. All CINE Golden Eagle Award winners automatically become eligible for these awards. All of these winners are announced at the annual Awards Event.
All of the CINE Special Jury Award winners automatically become eligible for the major CINE Masters Series Awards (for Professional Broadcast, Non-Broadcast, News and Independent winners), and the CINE Award of Excellence for the Student Division winner. These awards recognize the "Best of the Best". A specially selected and prestigious judging committee determines these CINE winners. These awards are also announced at the annual CINE Awards Event, and winners are presented with a special trophy.


CINE was once partially funded by the now defunct [[United States Information Agency]]. This funding ceased in the late 1990s, not long before the abolishment of the agency.<ref>{{cite news|last=Havemann|first=Judith|title=VOA Director to Head Consolidated Broadcasting Operation|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=July 13, 1990}}</ref>
== CINE Honorary Awards ==


In the fall of 2014 CINE made some major changes to their organization, which included creating one entry cycle per year for each award (Professional, Independent and Student), switching to a more traditional nominee structure in which only one production per category is named the winner, and transitioning the entire process online. However, unlike many major awards organizations, CINE's categories were based on content, not distribution platform, to reflect the constantly changing industry.
The CINE Lifetime Achievement Award expresses recognition and gratitude to the few pinnacle leaders in the world of film and video whose lifetime contribution and great service are continuing to leave a profound impact on our culture. Recent honorees have included Ted Turner, Sheila Nevins, Sharon Percy Rockefeller, Roger Ebert and Albert Maysles.
The CINE Leadership Award honors a distinguished person in the film and video industry who has advanced or enhanced the quality of the media through outstanding leadership. Recent honorees have included John Hendricks, Tim Kelly, Pat Mitchell, Bill Moyers, Ken Burns, Stanley Nelson, and Bonnie Hammer.

In addition, CINE presents special awards for unique achievements in the industry. Tom and Dick Smothers received CINE's Trailblazers Tribute Award for their satiric commentary and career that has spanned 44 years, and for their courageous battles against censorship, as depicted in a CINE Golden Eagle-winning documentary. The Trailblazers Tribute Award has also been presented to D A Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus, pioneers in cinema verité documentary filmmaking, and Alan and Susan Raymond, ground-breaking producers of observational documentaries, such as "Police Tapes", and "The Loud Family Saga."


==Awards==
== The Organization ==
CINE presents two types of awards: competitive and honorary. Competitive awards include the '''Golden Eagle Award''' (instituted in 1962),<ref>{{cite news|title=Nine Top Motion Picture Awards Made to Britannica by CINE|newspaper=News from Encyclopædia Britannica}}</ref> Special Jury Award, Masters Series, and Award of Excellence. Honorary awards included the Leadership Award, Trailblazer Award, Lifetime Achievement Award, and Legends Award. Separate from the Golden Eagle Awards, CINE also held a Film Scoring Competition, which was launched in 2013. In 2014, the competition was renamed the Marvin Hamlisch Film Contest for Emerging Composers in honor of the legendary composer. In 2019, after CINE had shut down, the Marvin Hamlisch estate launched the Marvin Hamlisch International Music Awards non-profit to continue holding composition competitions under the composer's name, expanding the scope of the contests to include theater, classical and song categories in multiple genres.


CINE utilizes a jury system to select winners. CINE also presents individuals with special honors. 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 (1963 film)|The Critic]]'', and [[Ken Burns]] for his student film ''[[Brooklyn Bridge (film)|Brooklyn Bridge]]''.<ref>{{cite web|title=CINE|url=http://www.cine.org/about-cine/55-years-of-distinguished-alumni/|access-date=2014-02-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140330022810/http://www.cine.org/about-cine/55-years-of-distinguished-alumni/|archive-date=2014-03-30|url-status=dead}}</ref>
A national board comprised of 26 representatives from the film and video industry oversees the business of CINE. Our current president is Matthew Tombers, President, Intermat, Inc.

CINE (Council on International Nontheatrical Events) was a non-profit film organization based in Washington, D.C.[2] Founded in 1957 with the mission of selecting American films for international film festivals,[3][4] CINE's focus 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.[5] After 61 years, CINE ceased operations in 2018.[6]

History[edit]

CINE's original name, the Committee on International Non-Theatrical Events, was chosen to create the acronym CINE,[7] after which it was then changed to Council on International Non-Theatrical Events. Over time the organization came to refer to itself primarily as CINE.

CINE's original purpose was to provide European film festival directors with representative American informational films to exhibit.[8] For decades, the CINE Golden Eagle Competition was a way for non-theatrical American films to gain access to festivals and even the Academy Awards before they stopped accepting entries from the majority of festivals and competitions.

CINE was once partially funded by the now defunct United States Information Agency. This funding ceased in the late 1990s, not long before the abolishment of the agency.[9]

In the fall of 2014 CINE made some major changes to their organization, which included creating one entry cycle per year for each award (Professional, Independent and Student), switching to a more traditional nominee structure in which only one production per category is named the winner, and transitioning the entire process online. However, unlike many major awards organizations, CINE's categories were based on content, not distribution platform, to reflect the constantly changing industry.

Awards[edit]

CINE presents two types of awards: competitive and honorary. Competitive awards include the Golden Eagle Award (instituted in 1962),[10] Special Jury Award, Masters Series, and Award of Excellence. Honorary awards included the Leadership Award, Trailblazer Award, Lifetime Achievement Award, and Legends Award. Separate from the Golden Eagle Awards, CINE also held a Film Scoring Competition, which was launched in 2013. In 2014, the competition was renamed the Marvin Hamlisch Film Contest for Emerging Composers in honor of the legendary composer. In 2019, after CINE had shut down, the Marvin Hamlisch estate launched the Marvin Hamlisch International Music Awards non-profit to continue holding composition competitions under the composer's name, expanding the scope of the contests to include theater, classical and song categories in multiple genres.

CINE utilizes a jury system to select winners. CINE also presents individuals with special honors. 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.[11]

The CINE award trophies were made by New York firm, Society Awards.[citation needed]
