Village Voice Film Poll

The Village Voice Film Poll is an annual polling by The Village Voice film section of more than 100 major film critics for alternative media sources. Although the majority of the critics work for the alt-weeklies, a number are former Voice critics who now work for the mainstream media or have retired. It is compiled every year from top ten lists, best performance lists, and votes for other categories. The poll results are printed alongside the annotated top ten lists of J. Hoberman, Dennis Lim and Michael Atkinson.
