‘Life,’ ‘To A Land Unknown’ Win Main Prizes at Sophomore Edition of Mediterrane Film Festival
Zeki Demirkubuz’s ‘Life’ took best picture; Mahdi Fleifel’s Un Certain Regard breakout ‘To a Land Unknown' won the Jury’s Choice prize.
The awards were handed out at a glitzy ceremony at the grand Fort Manoel in the Maltese capital of Valletta, which served as a location for “Game of Thrones” and “Assassin’s Creed.” BAFTA-winning British filmmaker Mike Leigh(“Secrets and Lies,” ‘Vera Drake”) was honoured with the festival’s Career Achievement Award after giving an extended career talk earlier at the festival, with Maltese veteran production coordinator Rita Galea(“World War Z”) receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award. Amongst the attendees at the ceremony were Danai Gurira (“Black Panther”), Joaquim de Almeida (“Road House”) and Colin Trevorrow (“Jurassic World”). “It’s been an honour this evening to recognise the immensely deserving winners of our Golden Bee Awards and to end this edition on an incredible high.”
