“Summer of Soul,” “The Beatles: Get Back” rack up more awards season accolades

As awards season in the film and TV industry races to an end, the past weekend was highlighted by some of the last major honors ahead of next weekend’s Academy Awards.

The Producers Guild of America on Saturday was the latest event to honor one of the favorite documentaries of this year’s season, Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised). Directed by first-time filmmaker Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, the doc about the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival picked up the PGA’s “Outstanding Producer of Documentary Theatrical Motion Pictures” honor for Joseph Patel, David Dinerstein and Robert Fyvolent.

The other nominees in the category were Summer of Soul‘s fellow Oscar nominees Flee, Ascension and Writing With Fire, as well as The First Wave, In the Same Breath, The Rescue and Simple as Water.
