12th Annual Chlotrudis Society for Independent Films
Awards Ceremony


  E-MAIL DANIEL BERMAN


Begins: Sunday, March 19th 2006

This year has been filled with all kinds of cinematic opportunities of various, unique tastes. It has been a fulfilling and time honored tradition that we sit in our theater seats and tap into the world of films. Hey, what can you say about the phenomenal directing style of George Clooney (Good Night, and Good Luck). Then to top it all off one of the best character actors on screen Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote). Our eyes and ears still haven’t captured that cinematic aroma of great docudramas like Werner Herzog’s (Grizzly Man). Nominated film picks to the movies that certainly deserve the highest of praise from critics and audiences alike. Without any further ado let’s make our way into the dark cinema, take our seats, with popcorn in hand. Let’s delve into another year of independent films that will certainly put you in the right theatrical mood.
