Američka Akademija filmskih umjetnosti i znanosti (Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences – AMPAS), počasna filmska organizacija koja svojim glasovima odlučuje o osvajačima Oscara, ove je godine u vlastite redove godine primila i 18 dokumentarista.
Ukupno je AMPAS u 2014. primio 271 filmskog djelatnika, a među dokumentarnim članovima ističu se imena Malcolma Clarkea (“The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life”) kojeg smo intervjuirali za našu stranicu, Morgana Nevillea (“Pet metara od slave”), Rithyja Panha (“Slika koja nedostaje”), Enata Sidija (montaža “Detropije” i “Jesus Campa”), ali i mnogih drugih uistinu uglednih i značajnih pripadnika klase 2014.
Prošle godine ista čast pripala je, primjerice, Claudeu Lanzmannu (“Shoah”, “Posljednji od nepravednika”), Annie Sundberg (“The Devil Came on Horseback”, “Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work”) i Jehane Noujaim (“Trg”), a koji su se pridružili moru od četrdeset izabranih dokumentarnih profesionalaca u prošlogodišnjem sazivu AMPAS-a.
