EntSun News/10867133
Top Honors go to "The Kennedy Incident" for Best Picture, The Horror Crowd for Best Director, among other categories including Native Cinema, LGBTQ+, Latin and Afro Cinema.
SANTA FE, N.M. - EntSun -- After five days and over 200 feature and short films, the 2021 Santa Fe Film Festival's Awards Ceremony took place on February 21st at the festival office in Santa Fe, hosted by Boss Gong Media, with jurors presenting 20 prizes for feature and short filmmaking during the live-streamed award ceremony.
"Even though we were virtual, we live-streamed the ceremony and had the winning filmmakers available for a quick Zoom acceptance, some from as far away as Estonia," said Nani Rivera, Santa Fe Film Festival Director. "We understand how important our festival is for filmmakers and we worked very hard to show this was a 'real' festival that supports both traditional and inclusive categories from Narrative, Documentaries, International, Student, Afro Cinema, Animation, Latin Ciné, LGBTQ+, Native Cinema, Sisters of Cinema and along with a Spotlight on New Mexico during our festival."
The Santa Fe Film Festival also worked with Galerie Züger of Santa Fe for their one time only live-stream event of a special curation of art from Earl Biss, known as the greatest colorist of the 20th century, to coincide with the screening of EARL BISS – The Spirit Who Walks Among His People, which was also the winner of the Best of Native Cinema category.
