The Annie Awards takes its name from the mother of the group’s founding President for the Cineaste Guild likens the work of the film artist with motherhood. Like a nurturing mother, the film artist nurtures his/her own work.
It is the only award giving body that recognizes individual achievements in short films by nominating them in the various categories. It also recognizes the contribution of films that tackle socio-political concerns through the Film Reportage category. It is the group’s conviction that the film artist should not be detached from what is happening in our society of the world.
