Felipe Sholl’s feature directorial debut earned top honours as the 18th edition of the Rio Film Festival concluded on Sunday night by honouring new voices of Brazilian cinema.
The Redentor awards were handed out at Espaco Cultural Bnds, where The Other End also received the best actress prize for Karine Teles, who stars in the unusual love story between a teenage boy and the female patient of his psychoanalyst mother.
The Other End explores the idea that love can be found in unexpected places with irony and lightness. Sholl dealt with a similar theme in Tá (2007), the winner of the Teddy award for best short film at Berlinale that centres on two young men who meet in a public bathroom.
A Woman And The Father, Cristiane Oliveira’s first feature, picked up three awards. Oliveira took the best director award, while the young newcomer Verónica Perrotta was named best supporting actress and cinematographer Heloisa Passos won the...

PARK CITY -- The Sundance Film Festival grand jury honored Christopher Zalla's illegal immigration drama Padre Nuestro and Jason Kohn's Brazilian corruption documentary Manda Bala (Send a Bullet) with its top prizes Saturday night.
Some features seemed to justify their high sales prices with popular appeal. James C. Strouse's family drama Grace Is Gone took home the Audience Award: Dramatic, while David Sington's Apollo program chronicle In The Shadow Of The Moon won the World Cinema Audience Award: Documentary. They sold for $4 million to Weinstein Co. for worldwide rights and $2.5 million to $3 million to ThinkFilm for North American rights (excluding TV), respectively. Sington noted onstage that Saturday was the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 1 incident that killed three astronauts.
Two films won two awards each. Grace is Gone landed 29-year-old writer Strouse the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award, and Heloisa Passos was honored for documentary excellence in cinematography for Manda Bala.
"I've been a nervous wreck the entire time I've been here," said Manda Bala director Kohn after delivering an exuberant, four-letter-word-filled speech at the awards and leaving a message for his onetime boss, documentary director Errol Morris. A rep at his sales agent Cinetic Media, which hasn't yet sold the film, warned him it would be a "rollercoaster" week, with people paying attention, then not. "My self worth has gone up and down. It's definitely up now," he said.
Two-time Grace winner Strouse said after the awards that "to be honest, this was the one I was hoping for." The first-time helmer is currently looking at different projects and trying to get more of his fiction published, but a friend is trying to pull him down to Earth. "He told me 'You need to come back home. Sundance isn't the center of the world, '" he laughed.
