The Denver Film Festival has announced the winners of its annual Audience Awards and Festival Juried Awards, with films like “ Bob Trevino Likes It ” and “ The Seed of the Sacred Fig ” taking top prizes. Following the conclusion of the 47th edition of the festival, which ran from November 1 to November 10, Denver Film Festival artistic director Matthew Campbell said via statement, “This year’s Denver Film Festival brought us fantastic films, phenomenal guests, and unforgettable experiences. The films recognized this year tell strong stories through powerful perspectives, providing viewers with the chance to see themselves on the screen while also seeing something completely new.
We are honored to recognize so many voices, both new and familiar, and to bring those stories to audiences right here in Denver.” It is worth noting that, outside of the audience favorite short film “Jellyfish and Lobster,” the audience award winners were not eligible for juried prizes. The Denver Film Festival also handed out previously announced individual awards throughout the festival run, including the John Cassavetes Award to “Lilly” actress Patricia Clarkson, the Career Achievement Award to “Dìdi” star Joan Chen, and the Excellence in Acting Award to both “Hard Truths” lead Marianne Jean-Baptiste, and “September 5” actor Ben Chaplin.
