Acclaimed Film & TV Director/Writer/Producer to be Honored at 50th International Emmy® Awards Gala, in New York, on November 21

 
NEW YORK, June 6, 2022 – The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced today that director, writer and producer Ava DuVernay, one of the most important contemporary voices in American film and television, will receive the 2022 International Emmy® Founders Award at the 50th International Emmy® Awards Gala, on Monday, November 21, 2022 in New York City. DuVernay’s mini-series When They See Us, based on the infamous Central Park Five case, portrayed the injustices brought by police treatment of five falsely accused teens to the attention of millions of people around the world.

“Ava DuVernay is a force of nature and this is reflected in the remarkable scope and volume of her work. She makes significant films and television programs, she uses her platform to reshape our industry and continues to lead a career-long effort to bolster women and people of color in entertainment and ensure inclusivity,” said International Academy President & CEO, Bruce L. Paisner. “We look forward to honoring her extraordinary talent and prolific decade of leadership at ARRAY, with our Founders Award.”

“This honor from the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is unexpected and wildly appreciated,” said DuVernay. “I thank the organization for recognizing my work and salute their efforts to ensure that storytellers of all backgrounds are amplified and celebrated.”

DuVernay is an Academy Award nominee and winner of the Emmy®, BAFTA and Peabody Awards, whose directorial work includes the historical drama Selma, the criminal justice documentary 13th and Disney’s A Wrinkle in Time, which made her the highest grossing Black woman director in American box office history.

DuVernay is currently writing, directing and producing the narrative film adaptation of Isabel Wilkerson’s bestselling nonfiction book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent for Netflix. Through her ARRAY Filmworks production company, DuVernay is overseeing production on the final season of her critically-acclaimed TV series Queen Sugar (OWN), as well as recent and upcoming television productions including an untitled romantic drama for Starz, Colin in Black and White (Netflix), DMZ (HBO Max), Cherish the Day (OWN), Naomi (The CW), Home Sweet Home (HBO Max) and One Perfect Shot (HBO Max). Her critically-acclaimed series When They See Us (Netflix) received sixteen primetime Emmy® nominations.

Winner of the 2012 Sundance Film Festival’s Best Director Prize for her micro-budget film Middle of Nowhere, DuVernay amplifies the independent work of people of color and women of all kinds through her non-profit narrative change collective ARRAY. ARRAY is the 2021 winner of the Peabody Institutional Award. DuVernay sits on the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, representing the directors branch. She is also a Vice-President of the Directors Guild of America and an advisory board member of the American Film Institute.

PROGRAMS ABOUT COVID-19 IN ITALY AND NATIONAL HEALTH DISASTER IN THE UK WIN INTERNATIONAL EMMYS® FOR NEWS & CURRENT AFFAIRS

 

New York, September 28, 2021 – The 2021 International Emmy® for News was presented tonight to A Warning from Italy (Sky News, United Kingdom). In 2020, when coronavirus spread from the far-east, Italy overtook China as the epicenter. Yet nobody knew what this looked like – until, for the first time, Sky News revealed the horrific scale of the crisis in this world exclusive coverage.
 
The International Emmy® for Current Affairs was presented to In Cold Blood (Exposure) (DSP/ITV, United Kingdom). In Cold Blood examines the biggest treatment disaster in NHS history, a tragedy which killed more people than Grenfell, Hillsborough, 7/7 and the Birmingham bombings combined. Yet its scale and impact has until now been relatively understated in Britain.
 
Both International Emmys were presented by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences as part of an online ceremony with the National Academy’s US News Emmys.

DR. THOMAS BELLUT, DIRECTOR GENERAL ZDF GERMAN TELEVISION TO RECEIVE 2021 INTERNATIONAL EMMY® DIRECTORATE AWARD

Network Recognized by Academy as it Prepares to Celebrate Its 60th Anniversary

New York, December 1, 2020 – Dr. Thomas Bellut, Director General of German national broadcaster ZDF, one of Europe’s major and most renowned public broadcasters, will receive the International Academy’s 2021 Directorate Emmy® Award, it was announced today by Bruce L. Paisner, President & CEO of the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. The International Academy’s Special Emmy will be presented to Bellut at the 49th International Emmy® Awards Gala, on Monday, November 22, 2021 in New York City.

The presentation of the award to Mr. Bellut was originally planned for the 2020 International Emmy® Awards ceremony, in recognition of his outstanding leadership of ZDF and in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the reunification of Germany, to which ZDF contributed with intensive coverage. It was postponed to 2021 due to covid-19 related circumstances. In 2021, ZDF will mark the 60th anniversary of the organization’s founding.

“Thomas Bellut is an outstanding journalist, broadcaster and executive, with a 30-year career at ZDF who has made an important mark on television in Germany and beyond”, said Bruce L. Paisner, President and CEO of the International Academy. “It’s a year later than we had planned, but we’re still very pleased that he will receive our Directorate Emmy next November.”

Dr. Thomas Bellut:”In Germany we particularly appreciate the value of free and independent media. I am therefore very pleased that the Academy has expressly linked the award with the ZDF’s achievements in the context of German reunification. This singular chapter of contemporary history has shaped my professional life as a journalist and media manager ”

Bellut became director general of German public television broadcaster ZDF in 2012, after serving as the company’s program director for a decade and before that as correspondent and managing editor in the news division, for over 25 years. Since his appointment at the helm of the channel, he has made quality dramas a priority while continuing to produce popular non-scripted shows, including major global success and International Emmy winner Generation War; the 1950s-set miniseries Ku’damm 59; and long-running natural-history and science series Terra X. In an effort to better compete on the streaming front, Bellut recently called for cross-linking the content of on-demand services with other German public broadcasters instead of attempting to set up one central OTT platform.

On behalf of ZDF, ZDF Enterprises, of which Thomas Bellut is Chairman, is responsible for worldwide program sales, the implementation of international co-productions, license purchasing for quality programs, marketing online rights and the merchandising of strong ZDF program brands. In addition to its commercial activities for ZDF, ZDF Enterprises has also been able to establish itself successfully as an independent market player in both national and international environments. As part of the ZDF group, the company has at its disposal the largest German-language program collection in the world, consisting of series and mini-series, TV movies, documentaries and children’s programs.

 

About Thomas Bellut and ZDF

Since March 2012, ZDF has been headed by Director- General Thomas Bellut. He was elected by the 60-member governing body, the ZDF Television Council, which represents the interests of the general public. Part of its role is to establish and monitor program standards. Responsibility for corporate guidelines and budget control lies with the 14-member ZDF Administrative Council. ZDF is based in Mainz, but also maintains permanent bureaus in the 16 Länder capitals as well as special editorial and production facilities in Berlin. For international coverage, ZDF has foreign correspondents operating in 19 permanent bureaus worldwide. ZDF offers full-range generalist programming with a mix of information, education, arts, entertainment and sports. Its coverage provides both a broad view on the world and a comprehensive picture of Germany. ZDF also operates the two thematic channels ZDFneo and ZDF info. In partnership with other public broadcasters, ZDF jointly operates the internet-only offer funk, the German channels Phoenix and Kika and the European channels 3sat and Arte.

NEW YORK GOVERNOR ANDREW M. CUOMO TO RECEIVE 2020 INTERNATIONAL EMMY® FOUNDERS AWARD

International Academy to Recognize his Effective Use of Television During the Pandemic

New York, November 20, 2020 – Governor Andrew M. Cuomo of New York will receive this year’s International Emmy® Founders Award, in recognition of his leadership during the Covid-19 pandemic and his masterful use of television to inform and calm people around the world. The Emmy® will be presented to Governor Cuomo, also a New York Times best-selling author, during the Academy’s live,  International Emmy® Awards show streaming at 11 AM ET, on the Academy’s website www.iemmys.tv, on November 23.

“The Governor’s 111 daily briefings worked so well because he effectively created television shows, with characters, plot lines, and stories of success and failure,” said International Academy President & CEO, Bruce L. Paisner.  “People around the world tuned in to find out what was going on, and New York tough became a symbol of the determination to fight back.”

The Founder’s Award is presented to an individual or organization who “crosses cultural boundaries to touch our common humanity”. Prior recipients include Vice President Al Gore, Oprah Winfrey, and Steven Spielberg.

On March 2, 2020, New York Governor Cuomo conducted a media briefing from Manhattan to inform and educate New Yorkers and the public at large about the coronavirus outbreak that was just starting to be recognized as a massive public health threat. That 12-minute introduction, part of a 34-minute session with other state leaders, was the first of 111 consecutive daily briefings for New Yorkers and the wider world about the grim progress of the worst pandemic to hit the United States in a century. The briefings were carried live by New York’s local TV stations, nationally on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News and other news outlets in the U.S. and around the world.  The last “daily” briefing was held on June 19, 2020. These daily communications have drawn a total of 59 million viewers.

Andrew M. Cuomo is the 56th Governor of New York. After the 1996 election, President Clinton appointed him to serve as HUD Secretary. In 2006, he was elected New York State Attorney General. In 2010 he was elected Governor and re-elected twice in 2014 and 2018.

2020 Nominees – News & Current Affairs 

 

News

Channel 4 News: Hong Kong – A Year of Living Dangerously
ITN
United Kingdom
In 2019, Hong Kong surprised itself, China and the rest of the world. A fabulously wealthy financial hub, supposedly driven mainly by the pursuit of profit, stood up to its own government and its masters in Beijing even though this was a willful act of economic self-harm. It did so in spectacular fashion. Suddenly politics and the pursuit of liberty mattered more than economics even though the people of Hong Kong know that they were fighting a losing battle against an unflinching power.

RJ2: Ghost Staff
TV Globo
Brazil
For three months Globo investigated staff at Rio de Janeiro’s state legislature. They received high salaries from public money without showing up for work. Some of them live as far away as the United States. Our reporters caught some of these staffers at home during office hours.

Russian Jet Crash-Landing in Moscow: Timeline and Survivors
RT International
Russia
This program covers the deadly crash-landing of the Superjet-100 at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport, which left 41 dead. RT looks at the timeline of the tragedy from the moment the jet declared an emergency, to the moment it went up in flames on the tarmac. We bring viewers the stories of survivors, as well as those who sadly died in the crash; and those who put their lives on the line to save others.

The Battle for Burkina Faso
Al Jazeera English
Qatar
The first order from our police escort in Kaya – the provincial capital of Burkina Faso’s Northern Province of Sanmatenga was to make sure our vehicle followed their car tracks. This was just before our journey to front line villages along the main road heading to the porous border with Mali. We were going to areas where many people have been fleeing from to escape cross-border attacks and fighting.

 

Current Affairs

BBC Africa Eye: Sex for Grades
BBC Africa Eye
Nigeria
Female students in Nigeria and Ghana have been complaining of sexual harassment by their university professors for decades. Now, in this investigative documentary, local journalist Kiki Mordi goes undercover to capture evidence of this behavior first-hand by uncovering shocking abuse in West Africa’s top universities.


GloboNews Documentário: Allies (GloboNews Documentaries)
GloboNews / Globo TV
Brazil
Journalist Gabriel Chaim was embedded with the Syrian Democratic Forces, led by Kurdish fighters, in the last five months of the battle against ISIS. “Allies” also shows the suffering of women and children who escaped the heavy bombardment that targeted Baghouz ISIS’s last stronghold.

Swedbank och Penningtvätten: Dirty Banking (The Story of Swedbank and the World’s Largest Money Laundering Scandal)
Mission Investigate / Sveriges Television (SVT)
Sweden
SVT exposes that Swedbank has been used for systematic money laundering for nearly a decade. The top management withheld information from American investigators about suspicious customers, such as Yanukovych black payments to Manafort.

Undercover: Inside China’s Digital Gulag
Hardcash Productions / ITV
United Kingdom
ITV goes undercover into China’s secretive Xinjiang region. This investigation reveals how twelve million Muslims are living in a human laboratory where the world’s most sophisticated surveillance state is being created to control them, destroying their cultural identity and creating technologies that are being exported to authoritarian states worldwide.

8th International Emmy® Kids Awards Winners

 
 
 

Kids: Animation

Zog
Magic Light Pictures
United Kingdom
Zog is the story of a keen young dragon who wants to learn how to fly, roar, and breathe fire in his first years at Dragon School. He’s desperate to impress his teacher and win a golden star, but he’s accident prone and each year he has to be helped by a kind young girl who patches up his bumps and bruises. A half-hour family film based on the picture book written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.
 
 

Kids: Digital

Lik Meg
(Like Me)
NRK Super
Norway
Like Me is a web drama series that combines elements of social media, instant messages and live action drama to tell a realistic story about exclusion and bullying. This program is presented with daily posts, in real time on the same website. The viewers can comment on the story as it unfolds. Several years of target group research have laid the framework for the writer’s story about Oda, who slowly but surely gets betrayed by her best friend Arin. The story unfolds from two wildly different, but equally valid, perspectives. The viewers can put themselves in the shoes of both Oda and Arin. The audience can “take over” the two main characters’ cell phones. When Oda receives a Snapchat message, the viewer reads it on their phone. It’s almost as if the message was for the viewers. Our intention is to make young girls reflect on their actions and help them realize that they are not alone.
 
 

Kids: Factual

Nosso Sangue, Nosso Corpo
Fox Lab Brazil / Your Mama
Brazil
The documentary follows the lives of 5 young girls from across the globe and focuses on how they deal with the dilemmas of growing up and their periods. Mixing reality and fiction, the film exposes how this generation is fighting the myths, taboos and stigmas of the female body.

A mysterious character, the Nighthawk, lifts them from their beds and takes them on an adventure they will not forget. In a dark labyrinth of puzzles, the teams look for solutions with torches, backlights and lasers. Which team is faster? Which team is fearless? Who is the brightest of the bunch and who goes out like a light? For the winning team, the adventure continues, because only they get to spend the rest of the night at the desolate location. They are the Nighthawks of the week.

CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR TO RECEIVE 2019 INTERNATIONAL EMMY® DIRECTORATE AWARD

New York, May 1, 2019 – Christiane Amanpour, one of the world’s most preeminent broadcast journalists, currently Chief International Anchor for CNN and host of PBS’ nightly global affairs show Amanpour, will receive the International Academy’s 2019 Directorate Emmy® Award, it was announced today by Bruce L. Paisner, President & CEO of the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. The International Academy’s Special Emmy will be presented to Amanpour at the 47th International Emmy® Awards Gala, on Monday, November 25, in New York City.

“Christiane Amanpour has been on the frontline of broadcast news for over 35 years,” said International Academy President & CEO, Bruce L. Paisner. “Her personal contributions and influence on the development of global news gathering make her a defining figure for the news community. Her work and her standards are especially important today as the press is increasingly being targeted and silenced. We look forward to honoring her exemplary career and recognizing the importance of an independent press, with our Directorate Award.”

“My career has not focused on the destination but rather on the journey.  It’s one that’s led me to the firm belief that we must stand up for the truth.  I am honored by this award, as I continue my work to always be truthful not neutral.”   said Christiane Amanpour.

Amanpour’s career spans over thirty-five years. Beginning in 1983 as an entry-level assistant on the international assignment desk at CNN’s headquarters in Atlanta, Amanpour rose through the organization becoming a reporter at the New York bureau, and later, the network’s leading international correspondent. Amanpour’s fearless and uncompromising approach made her popular with audiences, and a force to be reckoned with by global influencers — in 1996, Newsweek said that her reporting from conflict hotspots in the Gulf and the Balkans had helped make CNN ‘must-see TV for world leaders’.

Described by Jeff Zucker, Chairman, WarnerMedia News and Sports as the most important journalist in the history of CNN; Amanpour has secured throughout her time at the network, exclusive interviews with global power players. In the wake of the September 11 attacks she was the first international correspondent to interview British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf and Afghan President Hamid Karzai. During the height of the Arab Spring she conducted an Emmy-winning interview, the last, with Libya’s former leader ‘Colonel’ Moammar Gadhafi, she was also the last journalist to interview Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak just before he was deposed. She has also reported from the aftermath of many humanitarian crises including the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the 2011 Japanese tsunami, and Hurricane Katrina.

In addition to her work as an anchor and reporter, Amanpour is an active rights campaigner. A board member of the Committee to Protect Journalists, the Centre for Public Integrity, the International Women’s Media Foundation and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for Freedom and Safety of Press, she has used her profile to raise awareness of key global issues and journalists’ rights.

2018 INTERNATIONAL EMMY® AWARDS NOMINEES FOR NEWS & CURRENT AFFAIRS ANNOUNCED

Nominees from: Brazil, Denmark, Germany, Qatar, Russia, Turkey and the United Kingdom

New York, August 7, 2018 – The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences today announced the nominees for the 2018 News & Current Affairs categories. Winners will be presented with Emmys in New York on October 1, at Jazz at Lincoln Center. The International Emmy winners will be recognized alongside their American news and documentary peers.

The 8 nominees span 7 countries: Brazil, Denmark, Germany, Qatar, Russia, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

Turkish public broadcaster’s TRT World has garnered its first ever Emmy nomination in the Current Affairs category for its coverage of Syrian refugees resorting to selling their kidney to organ brokers for a passage to Europe. Danish Public Broadcaster DR TV scored its first nomination in the Current Affairs category for an investigation co-produced with ZDF German Television, into human smugglers bringing millions of migrants to Europe. Additionally, Brazil’s TV Globo is nominated in both categories for coverage of the prison system collapse in the Rio Grande de Norte jail in early 2017 (News) and children of victims of domestic violence in Brazil (Current Affairs).

International Emmy Winner Deeyah Khan is nominated in Current Affairs for her coverage of US neo-Nazis and white nationalists produced by Fuuse Films and broadcast on ITV.

“Historically we congratulate our nominees for their persistence and bravery in covering stories, and now we realize we also have to congratulate them for standing up to governments who would severely restrict what they report or put them out of business entirely.” said Bruce L. Paisner, President & CEO of the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. “You only have to look at the list of nominees to see all the problems in the world and how badly we need broadcast journalists to uncover misbehavior and raise awareness.” The full list of nominees follows.

2018 Nominees – News & Current Affairs 

News

#MosulSOS
RT 
Russia 
The operation in Mosul killed thousands of civilians, while hundreds of thousands of others were forced to flee for their lives. On the ground, reports from the war-ravaged cities have shown that the level of civilian suffering was so massive that RT decided to launch the hashtag #MosulSOS.
 
Jornal GloboNews – Dozens killed and wounded in Alcacuz prison riot – the collapse of Brazil’s prison system   
GloboNews / TV Globo 
Brazil 
In early 2017, Brazil experienced a collapse of the prison system. A jail in Rio Grande do Norte, in terrible conditions, emerged as a scenario for fights between gangs. 26 prisoners died. Clashes were broadcasted live, laying bare the lack of control by the authorities.
 
Newsgrid – Qatar Crisis Special   
Al Jazeera English 
Qatar 
This special offered in-depth analysis and reporting on the Gulf Country Council Crisis, in which Qatar was blockaded by air, sea and land routes by its neighboring countries. Al Jazeera English found itself at the center of the story, with blockading countries demanding it be closed.
 
Sky News – Rohingya Crisis   
Sky News 
United Kingdom 
Rakhine had been closed off for months, but Sky News managed to gain access to witness the dire conditions and the suffering of the Rohingya people stranded there, exposing what the Myanmar government had denied.
 

Current Affairs

GloboNews Especial – Children of Maria da Penha   
GloboNews / TV Globo 
Brazil 
We showcase stories about children of victims of domestic violence. Brazil is considered one of the most violent countries for women in the world. A recent study shows that 71% of these victims who die leave children behind. They don’t receive any special assistance or psychological care.
 
Menschenschmuggler – Das Geschäft mit den Flüchtlingen   
DR TV (Danish Television) / ZDF German Television 
Germany 
Human smugglers reveal – on camera – the secrets of their trade. We offer an inside look at the industry that has brought millions of migrants to Europe, while European politicians promise to put an end to the uncontrolled and illegal influx.
 
Off the Grid – Silent Death on a Syrian Journey   
TRT World 
Turkey 
With no other way to survive, Abu Ahmed resorted to selling one of his kidneys. So did Abdullah, in exchange for free passage to Europe. But things didn’t go as planned as they have been duped by remorseless and unscrupulous organ brokers, like Abbas, who cheated them.
 
White Right: Meeting the Enemy   
Fuuse Films / ITV 
United Kingdom 
Muslim filmmaker Deeyah Khan meets US neo-Nazis and white nationalists face to face, and attends America’s biggest and most violent far-right rally in recent years.
