Ken Burns and Ric Burns honored with Full Frame's 2005 Career Award

Full Frame Documentary Film Festival gave the 2005 Career Award to two renowned documentary filmmakers with the same last name: brothers Ken Burns and Ric Burns.

Nancy Buirski, the Festival's founder, said giving this honor to these two filmmakers was a priority for the festival.

"They have distinguished themselves by creating and sustaining a mass audience for documentary film. They have popularized the medium by making history accessible to a broad range of viewers and they have done so with films that do not stint on complex characters, nuanced perspectives, or sheer cinematic beauty."

Past winners of the Full Frame Career Award include:

  • Michael Apted
  • Barbara Kopple
  • Chris Hegedus
  • D.A. Pennebaker
  • Errol Morris
  • Fred Wiseman
  • Marcel Ophuls
  • and the late Charles Guggenheim.
