"Trouble the Water" and the Oscars

Standing in front of a life-sized Oscar (actually a very tall Oscar), "Trouble the Water" directors Tia Lessin and Carl Deal (middle) are joined by the film's co-producer Amir Bar-Lev and cinematographer P.J. Raval (left) at the AMPAS building in Beverly Hills Wednesday night. The International Documentary Association hosted an evening fete for the narrative and short documentary Academy Award nominees with an event featuring clips from each film, hosted by Lily Tomlin.
