We are thrilled to announce that Sweet Crude was selected for the International Documentary Association's 2009 DocuWeeks theatrical showcase. This program was created to provide week-long theatrical runs in LA and NY, which are required to qualify for Oscar nomination. Only 18 features and 10 shorts were chosen. IDA considers them "some of the best groundbreaking documentary films from around the world."
Since its inception in 1997, DocuWeeks has qualified about 133 feature and short docs, garnering 16 nominations and 7 Academy Awards. Oscar winners include Smile Pinki (2008), Taxi To The Dark Side (2007) and The Blood of Yingzhou District (2006). Nominees include The Betrayal (2008), War/Dance (2007), Salim Baba (2007) and Sari's Mother (2007).
