The Cinema Eye team has also made some really exciting announcements — they’re moving the ceremony to the newly renovated Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens — and they’re broadcasting the event on the Documentary Channel. For an awards program that just began in 2007, Cinema Eye has come a long way in just a few years. We’re looking forward to the ceremony on January 18, 2011.
