America's top nontheatrical films were honored with 78 major prizes from international film festivals during 1970 at the 1 3th Annual CINE Awards and Showcase program in the nation's capital, November 13. President Richard Nixon sent a telegram to Dr. William G. Carr, CINE's President, praising CINE for its work "in selecting motion pictures of outstanding merit to represent our country with credit and distinction in international festivals. In a decade when communications are so basic to human understanding and world peace, the challenges you face are without equal." At the climaxing banquet, this years top international awards and trophies were presented by Ambassadors and ranking diplomats from Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Germany, Hungary, Iran, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malta, Spain, the United Kingdom and Yugoslavia.
Heading the list of dignitaries present were Ambassador Janos Nagy of the Hungarian Peoples Republic, Ambassador Sir James Plimsol of Australia and Minister Counselor Kivoomars Vazeen of Iran.
