The Winners at Stockholm International Film Festival

Today The Stockholm International Film Festival 2022 presented the 12 winners at the Stockholm film festival.  The film "Holy Spider" by the Swedish-Danish-Iranian director Ali Abbasi won two prizes: the Bronze Horse for Best Film and the actor Mehdi Bajestani won as Best Male Actor. 

Frances O'Connor was awarded as Best Director for her film Emily and Actress Anabelle Lengronne won the prize for Best Actress for her role in Mother and Son. 

Director Guðmundur Arnar Guðmundsson was awarded with the prize for Best Screenplay for his film Beautiful Beings.

The jury's motivation for best film reads:

– A groundbreaking film that is done not only with enormous courage but with mastery that leaves us breathless; our insides both speechless and wanting to cream. A punch in the gut for systematic belief systems that oppress rather than support. An eye opener and a most emotional cinematic experience that awakens internal revolutions in us. For its moving performances, raw and uncompromising direction, brilliant and poignant screenplay we would like to present one of the strongest films we've seen in a long time with the Bronze Horse for Best Film: Holy Spider directed by Ali Abbasi.
