Best Film<\/h3>\n

From among the 11 films in the International Competition of Feature Films, Art Film Fest\u2019s grand prize, the Blue Angel for Best Film, went to Guatemalan Ixcanul. It is the story of a 17-year-old Kaqchikel Maya girl who lives with her parents on a coffee plantation at the foot of an active volcano. She is supposed to follow local tradition, but longs to discover the unknown world on the other side of the mountains and escape to the USA. In addition, actress Mar\u00eda Tel\u00f3n won Art Film Fest\u2019s Blue Angel for Best Female Performance for her portrayal of the girl\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n

Best Director<\/h3>\n

New Zealand director James Napier Robertson earned the Blue Angel for Best Director with his film The Dark Horse, a touching true story of an extraordinary man who struggled to improve the future of socially disadvantaged children and taught them to play chess.<\/p>\n

Best Male Performance<\/h3>\n

The Blue Angel for Best Male Performance was awarded to Kristyan Ferrer for his role as Arnulfo in the Mexican film 600 Miles directed by Gabriel Ripstein.

The jury also decided to grant a Special Mention. It went to Marek Poledna, Michal Holubec and Ivo \u0160palj for their work on the sound design of the Czech film Little from the Fish Shop.<\/p>\n

Short films<\/h3>\n

Besting the other 36 films in its category, the Romanian short Art earned its director Adrian Sitaru the Blue Angel for Best Short Film. Aside from the grand prize, the three jurors also conferred three Special Mentions. The first was awarded to the Polish short The Object from director Paulina Skibi\u0144ska, number two went to French film The Man with a Dog from director Kamal Lazraq, and the third was for the Estonian House of Unconsciousness from director Priit Tender.<\/p>\n
