Gramado Film Festival Awards 2006
2006 Gramado Film Festival – Brazilian and Latin Cinema 2006 Kikito Awards
2006 Gramado Film Festival Awards: August 19, 2006


I’ve finally added the list of Kikito winners at this year’s Gramado Film Festival of "Brazilian and Latin Cinema." The Kikitos were handed out on Aug. 19 in the small town of Gramado, located in the Brazilian south.
The Best Brazilian Feature award was given to two films: the semi-documentary Serras da Desordem (literally, "Hills of Disorder") and the social drama Anjos do Sol / Angels of the Sun.
Directed by Andrea Tonacci, Serras da Desordem follows a nomad Indian who, after surviving an attack by local landowners, spends ten years roaming the hills of the Brazilian mid-west. Tonacci also took home the Best Director award. Rudi Lagemann’s Anjos do Sol portrays the plight of a pre-teen girl who is forced into prostitution.
The Best Actress award was given to Mel Lisboa for her 1960s political militant in Sonhos e Desejo / Dreams and Desire, while the Best Actor was Antônio Calloni for his ruthless pimp in Anjos do Sol.
The Best Latin American Film was Francisco Vargas Quevedo’s El Violin / The Violin, about the tensions between Mexican peasants and that country’s military in the Guerrero region. El Violin also won the Critics’ Prize and the Audience Award.
