The Silver Eye awards are given since 2009 – they are the awards for the best documentary films participating in the East Silver Market. The Silver Eye is an award given to the producer, and not the film's director. The award is intended to support the promotion and international distribution of the film.
The films participating in the market are divided into three categories: short, middle-length and feature-length. This year, seven Polish documentary films were nominated for the Silver Eye awards: The Main Award in the feature-length documentary film went to the film "Communion" by Anna Zamecka.
The winners, in addition to the statuette, were given cash prize and annual representation of the film in East Silver Caravan, which equals the promotion of the award-winning films at over 100 of the most important film festivals on the world.
