Sundance awards: 'Minari' and 'Boys State' take top honors
,” a semi-autobiographical glimpse into the Korean American director’s Arkansas upbringing, and “Boys State,” an immersive vérité look at an impassioned class of politically inclined Texas teens who participate in an annual mock-government competition.
Documentary special jury awards went to Arthur Jones’ “Feels Good Man” , ACLU-themed, group directing effort “The Fight” and “Welcome to Chechnya” editor Tyler H. Wauk. Ben Whishaw won a special mention for acting for “Surge,” while a screenplay mention went to “Identifying Features” writers Fernanda Valadez and Astrid Rondero; the film also earned the category’s audience prize. Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese’s “This Is Not a Burial, It’s a Resurrection” — the first film from Lesotho to be shown abroad — earned a “visionary filmmaking” mention.
Stars were in relatively short supply at this year’s Sundance, where films with Angelina Jolie, Benedict Cumberbatch and Michael Keaton premiered without those actors in attendance. Fortunately for the festival, Viggo Mortensen — whose directorial debut, “Falling,” screened the night before — kicked off the awards show by introducing Oklahoma City band Skating Polly.
