Here are the winners at Stockholm International Film Festival 2022
Today, the winners that will be crowned at the Stockholm International Film Festival 2022 are presented. This year's big winner is the film Holy Spider by the Swedish-Danish-Iranian director Ali Abbasi, the film wins the Bronze Horse for Best Film and lead actor Mehdi Bajestani is named Best Male Actor for his part as the serial killer Saeed Hanaei, based on the real life "Spider Killer". Frances O'Connor is awarded Best Director for her directorial debut Emily. Actress Annabelle Lengronne is named Best Actress for her role in Mother and Son. Icelandic director Guðmundur Arnar Guðmundsson is awarded the prize for Best Screenplay for his film Beautiful Beings.
The jury's motivation for Best Film reads:
"A groundbreaking film that is done not only with enormous courage but with mastery that leaves us breathless; our insides both speechless and wanting to cream. A punch in the gut for systematic belief systems that oppress rather than support. An eye opener and a most emotional cinematic experience that awakens internal revolutions in us. For its moving performances, raw and uncompromising direction, brilliant and poignant screenplay we would like to present one of the strongest films we've seen in a long time with the Bronze Horse for Best Film: Holy Spider directed by Ali Abbasi."
Other awards, Best Documentary, go to Oscar-winning American director Laura Poitras for the film All the Beauty and the Bloodshed. Best Cinematography goes to Balthazar Lab for the film La Jauria. The international film critic jury FIPRESCI has chosen World War III by Houman Seyyedi as Best Film.
