National Board of Review, with no commercial
ties to the industry, was founded in 1909
to support excellence and free expression
in film. The group works to underwrite
educational film programs, like Great
Documentaries , and endow scholarships
for film students and grants for up and
coming directors. In addition,
the NBR screens over 300 films per year
and kicks off the awards season each December
by being the first group to announce annual
winners.
