Vladimir Putin may prefer that people forget about imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, but the Cinema Eye Honors isn’t.
The awards show dedicated to the art and craft of documentary film today announced its 2023 Unforgettables list of the most memorable subjects of nonfiction films this year, and Navalny’s name was front and center. The story of the lawyer and anti-corruption crusader, who was almost killed in a Kremlin poisoning plot in 2020, is told in the award-winning film Navalny, directed by Daniel Roher.

Nan Goldin, the artist at the center of the Laura Poitras documentary All the Beauty and the Bloodshed, also made the list. The film, winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, explores Goldin’s pioneering photographic work and her campaign to expose the harmful legacy of the Sackler Family, owners of OxyContin manufacturer Purdue Pharma.
