International Emmy award for HBO documentary film

A documentary film produced by HBO Romania won the "Arts Programming" award of the 38th International Emmys. Emmy awards are often seen as the Oscars of television.

Alexander Nanau's film, Lumea vazuta de Ion B. (The World According to Ion B.), is about a homeless artist, Ion Bârlădeanu, who became famous for his collages. In 2009, his work was exhibited alongside Andy Warhol's and Marcel Duchamp's.

The film of HBO Romania is the first Central-European documentary film to be honoured by an Emmy. The film was also screened at more than 30 other festivals as a competing picture.

HBO Hungary congratulated for the Emmy with banners made by Factory. Congratulations!
