STOCKHOLM BRONZE HORSE GOES TO THE SELFISH GIANT


After winning Best European Film in the Directors' Fortnight Selection at Cannes, Special Jury Prize for Conner Chapman and the Golden Starfish Award for Best Narrative Feature at the Hamptons, commendations for its leads Chapman and Shaun Thomas at LFF and two major awards at AFI Fest, and receiving seven BIFA nominations, Clio Barnard's The Selfish Giant has just won the top prize, the Bronze Horse, at the Stockholm Film Festival. It beat films such as 12 Years a Slave, Child's Pose, Miss Violence and Fruitvale Station to the award at the 24th SIFF.
