Alternative Film Guide

The Sundance Film Festival award winners have been announced. The Grand Jury Prize: Documentary was given to Christopher Quinn’s God Grew Tired of Us, which chronicles the experiences of three young Sudanese refugees trying to adjust to life in the U.S. The Grand Jury Prize: Dramatic was presented to Quinceañera, written and directed by Wash Westmoreland and Richard Glatzer. Quinceañera revolves around a group of disaffected teenagers whose Los Angeles neighborhood becomes increasingly gentrified.

Juan Carlos Rulfo’s In the Pit, a Mexican documentary about the daily lives of those working on the second deck of Mexico City’s Periferico freeway, won the World Cinema Jury Prize: Documentary. The World Cinema Jury Prize: Dramatic went to 13 Tzameti, written and directed by newcomer Géla Babluani. In this French film, the lead character - due to a case of mistaken identity - finds himself in the lower depths of human existence. The Best Director nod went to Dito Montiel for A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, while the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award was given to Hilary Brougher for Stephanie Dailey.
