Winning Films :: The LA Film Festival 2009
Today, The Winners Were Announced…
The L.A. Film Festival Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature went to Cyrus Nowrasteh’s ‘The Stoning of Soraya M.’ This film was just released, his weekend.
It was a beautiful film, and brutal. I’ll write more about it, specifically, in a bit. I set up interviews with some of the actors, and the director, so stay posted for that…
Documentary Award
The Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature went to Jeffrey Levy-Hinte’s ‘Soul Power’. It’ll be in theaters on July 10th.
Best International Film
Eva Norvind’s ‘Born Without’ won the Audience Award for Best International Feature.

The Target Filmmaker Narrative Award went to ‘Wah Do Dem’ (What They Do), by Sam Fleischner and Ben Chace.
The Target Documentary Award was given to Juan Carlos Rulfo and Carlos Hagerman’s ‘Those Who Remain’ (Los Que se Quedan).
Hat tip to my friend, Jeffrey Wells, who has an industry blog called Hollywood-Elsewhere, (link) for the info about the LA Film Fest winners…
And a big bow, too…he allowed me to accompany him for much of the festival, he’s a film brain…
