Far-Right Radicalization Story ‘The Quiet Son’ Takes Venice Impact Award
'The Quiet Son,' a film exploring family dynamics amidst far-right radicalization, has won the Collateral Impact Award at the Venice Film Festival.
A high-profile jury selected the winner, comprising Adjoa Andoh (“Bridgerton,” “Invictus”), Chiwetel Ejiofor (“12 Years a Slave”), Alia Shawkat (“Search Party,” “Blink Twice”), Mstyslav Chernov (director, “20 Days in Mariupol”), and Misan Sagay (dcreenwriter, “Belle”). Andoh added: “The notion of having an intentional organization like Think-Film Impact Production who will sit with you in your creative process and do some leg work around supporting your work’s heart by amplifying your message, broadening the reach of the invitation to audiences, and helping you in transforming someone else’s perspective – that is powerful.” Last year’s winner, “Io Capitano,” directed by Matteo Garrone, went on to receive an Academy Award nomination for best international feature.
