Audiences pick ‘Navalny,’ a last-minute addition about a Russian opposition leader, as the Festival Favorite.
“[’Nanny’] flooded us with its compassionate and horrifying portrayal of a mother being separated from her child,” said producer Chelsea Barnard, one of the U.S. Dramatic jurors. “This film cannot be contained by any one genre — it’s visually stunning, masterfully acted, impeccably designed from sound to visual effects, and the overall vision, expertly guided by Nikyatu Jusu, comes together offering its audience an electrifying experience.
Filmmaker Joan Churchill, who sat on the U.S. Documentary jury, said the film “is totally original, layered, philosophical and non-linear — challenging our understanding of history.” The jury also picked the film “for celebrating the power of documentary filmmaking and the responsibility of the filmmaker to examine the truth.”
The Audience Award in the U.S. Dramatic competition went to writer-director-star Cooper Raiff’s coming-of-age romance “Cha Cha Real Smooth.” Raiff stars as a 22-year-old college graduate figuring out what to do with his life — which leads to a job as a “party starter” for bar mitzvahs, and a relationship of sorts with a young single mom .
