Tibet film bags Jury Grand Prix at Shanghai film festival
By Liu Wei (China Daily)
Updated: 2009-06-23 09:46 Tibetan director Pema Tseden's The Search scooped the Jury Grand Prix at the 12th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), which ended on Sunday. The film follows a director's search for a leading actor for his drama set in picturesque Tibet.
Christina Yao's Empire of Silver, a mainland-Hong Kong-Taiwan co-production about a young heir to a giant banking empire in 1899, took the Jury Award. The Golden Goblet Award went to a Danish-Swedish co-production, the comedy Original. The film, directed by Antonio Tublen and Alexander Brondsted, revolves around a man who gets tired of living up to others' expectations and tries to chart his own course. Jury leader Danny Boyle described the film as "a light, touching and subversive study of mental illness that is both compassionate and never sentimental". The film's leading actor Sverrir Gudnason was also named Best Actor. "I feel so good," he said. "This is the best thing that anybody has given to me and will keep me going." |
