‘And Their Children After Them,’ ‘The Girl With the Needle’ and ‘Flow’ Sweep Seville European Film Festival Awards
Seville continues to position itself as an awards season influencer with its new Puerto América Award and broader competition lineup.
This year’s Official Selection jury included legendary British producer David Puttnam (“Chariots of Fire”) as president alongside Oscar-winning actor Jeremy Irons (“Reversal of Fortune,” “The Lion King”), Rome Film Festival artistic director Paola Malanga, Algerian filmmaker Mounia Meddour (“Papicha”) and Yelmo Cines programming manager Eva Rekettyei. Now, in its second year under director Manuel Cristobal, Seville has expanded its selection to include all types of European cinema, from the most experimental arthouse indies to broad four-quadrant fare. Magnus von Horn’s “ The Girl With the Needle,” Denmark’s Oscar submission, scored the biggest haul among this year’s competitors with four prizes, notching wins for best director, actress, cinematography and art direction.
