POLITICAL FILM SOCIETY MEMBERS VOTE TO NARROW LIST OF NOMINEES
One of the rules of thePolitical Film Society is that there can be only five nominees per category each year. In 1998, seven films were pre-nominated for promoting political consciousness of the desirability of settling conflicts peacefully. Accordingly, members may now vote to narrow the nominee list to five:
