Political Film Society Awards
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Political Film Society Awards are handed out each year by the Political Film Society. Each year, films that best promote political consciousness are selected in four categories; democracy, exposé, human rights, and peace. In addition, the Society can give special awards. From 1987 to 1997, the film that best raised political consciousness in the Hawaii International Film Festival received an award from the Society. While the Society was headquartered in Honolulu, a special award was given to the film that best promoted political consciousness about Hawaii. These awards are nicknamed the Stanley Awards after Stanley M. Castillo, an original member of the Political Film Society's board of directors, who died of cancer in 1998.
