“Incident,” a short documentary directed by Bill Morrison and produced by Jamie Kalven, received the National Magazine Award for video. Rewatch the film, which was also nominated for an Academy Award this year.

So good to see Bill Morrison finally get an Oscar nomination. They’d never nominate one of his nitrate efforts, but INCIDENT is no less a work of Morrison’s eminent style.
