As Firelight marks the end of its 20th anniversary year, and as we bid farewell to 2020, we are pausing to highlight the incredible resilience of the Firelight community, even in a pandemic year.

In yesterday’s “Firelight 2020 Year In Review” post we highlighted new films by Firelight alumni that debuted at festivals, in theaters, and on broadcast television in 2020.

Today, we highlight of some of the many awards and honors garnered by our Firelight community this year.

The updating list includes awards and recognition for new film releases, funding support for works-in-progress, and industry leadership awards, and includes accolades for emerging filmmakers from our Documentary Lab as well as mid-career filmmakers from several of our artist programs.

Stay tuned tomorrow for the final post in the series, which will highlight news from Firelight Media’s programs in 2020.

Congratulations to the Firelight community for this much-deserved recognition!
