Film Festival Awards 2011

Post by bizarre »

I do this thread on a couple other forums. Hopefully you find it useful.

A thread wherein I keep track of the major awards of the FIAPF accredited film festivals, also known as the 'A' festivals - Berlin, Cairo, Cannes, Karlovy Vary, Locarno, Mar del Plata, Montréal World, Moscow, San Sebastián, Shanghai, Tokyo and Venice - for general reference and comparison reasons. These twelve festivals are the most important competitive festivals on the circuit, and a knowledge of what is going on at them is important for anyone interested in keeping up to date with arthouse world cinema. I will update this chart throughout the year.

The Sundance Film Festival is not FIAPF accredited but is also a significant event on the film circuit.

This year's awards were:
Feature Film Dramatic Competition: Like Crazy - Drake Doremus
World Cinema Dramatic Competition: Happy, Happy / Sykt lykkelig - Anne Sewitsky
Feature Film Documentary Competition: How to Die in Oregon - Peter Richardson
World Cinema Documentary Competition: Hell and Back Again - Danfung Dennis

The Toronto International Film Festival is perhaps the biggest film event of the year but it functions more as a film market than as a film festival. Its main awards are voted on by the filmgoing public.

Audience Award:

Next up is San Sebastián!
