5th Annual GOTHAM SCREEN International Film Festival Announces Winners
Winners of the 2011 GOTHAM SCREEN International Film Festival Were Announced at the Closing Ceremony, With "Jo For Jonathan" by Maxine Giroux Taking the Top Prize
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 10/24/11 -- The 5th Annual Gotham Screen International Film Festival (GSIFF) drew to a close yesterday after ten days of screenings and events in downtown New York. Film competition and screenplay contest winners were announced at the closing ceremony for filmmakers, industry and press.
Festival director Michael Gunther said of the event, "We're very proud of this year's program, which featured no less than six world premieres, with films as diverse as US thriller 'Occupant,' Chinese documentary 'He Film' and indie road movie 'Days Together.' The move to the legendary Quad Cinema brought increased attendance and allowed us to dramatically broaden the program. We definitely feel at home in the new surroundings of Greenwich Village and hope to continue our growth, both creatively and audience-wise, in the next year."
Highlights of the festival included the world premiere of US drama "40 West," Singaporean production "Sandcastle" and popular Indian movie "Shuttlecock Boys."
The 2012 Gotham Screen festival will run again in October next year.
