Celebrating our Favorite Films of 2024!
On our first anniversary, Cinapse’s one-year celebration of cinema coincided with another little-known ceremony called “The Oscars.” We’re here 12 years later to continue the tradition with the Twelfth Annual Cinapse Awards!
A major part of our purpose here at Cinapse has always been to celebrate and advocate for films, so doing our very own awards has always felt apt. We hope you enjoy reading and please feel free to debate and discuss our choices with us in the comments section, or on Twitter and Facebook! What did we miss? Where are we dead wrong? Where do you agree with us wholeheartedly? We’d love to hear from you!
