This list summarizes other lists, including these:
J Hoberman: 10 Favorite Films of 2011, plus 2, as published in The Village Voice [see also 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2012, and the The Village Voice Critic’s Poll 2011]
[as chosen for the indieWIRE poll]
[as chosen for the indieWIRE poll]
NOTE: Except for the additional documentary and undistributed lists, we’ve favored Hoberman’s selections as published in The Village Voice over his slightly different selections found in the indieWIRE poll; the latter has tighter restrictions that made the Marclay, Jacobs, Haynes, and Hark films ineligible, thus making room for Certified Copy in the top ten.
