Wilderness: The Last Stand
Director: Miranda Smith.
1st Place Documentary 1994.
Narration by Susan Sarandon.
"Wilderness: The Last Stand" takes a hard look at the US Forest Service and
their management of our public lands. Truly a call to action, this film is
intended to raise awareness about the condition of national forests and to
inspire people to become more involved with their fate.
What's Your Favorite Fish ?
Director: Richard Berge.
1st Place Documentary 1993
"What's Your Favorite Fish?" portrays of Mel Sharpe, the self-described "last
man-on-the-street" who has mastered the art of eliciting extraordinary remarks
and behavior from ordinary people with his street interviews for radio and
television. Combining the observations of Sharpe and two colleagues with
excerpts of interviews from his career of over thirty years, the film shows
how this manŐs singular surreal work is his expression of a belief in th
e dignity and humor of people.
