We congratulate all the the shortlisted nominees and winners.
The Jane Mercer Researcher of the Year Award
The recipient is an individual Footage Researcher (or team), who has demonstrated outstanding achievement whilst being primarily responsible for the footage research undertaken for a production(s) or project(s) premiered or released during the qualifying year (2021). Such production(s) or project(s) can include series that have been aired over many years, providing the cited episode was premiered in 2021.
The Jury will be looking for an individual or team who displayed some or all of the following qualities:
- Depth of knowledge;
- Tenacity;
- Thoroughness;
- Imagination;
- An ability to enhance and protect the integrity of the footage.
The above is not an exhaustive list and the submitter may wish to highlight other areas of exception on the part of the researcher in their application.
Anyone can nominate a Researcher for this award which is not restricted to FOCAL International members.
The FOCAL Awards celebrate three areas – production, restoration and preservation, and people.
All our production categories celebrate the very best use of footage within the production, programme or project.
