The winners of Stockholm International Film Festival 2024
The winners of Stockholm Film Festival 2024 were presented during an awards ceremony at SoHo House today. This year's Bronze Horse in the category for Best Film goes to Nickel Boys – a dark drama that takes place at a youth reform school in 1960s Florida directed by RaMell Ross.
The Canadian director Matthew Rankin recieves the prize for Best Director for his subtly eccentric Oscar contribution Universal Language, which takes place in a wintry Winnipeg. Best Cinematography goes to Martin Gschlacht for his visual language in one of this year's most powerful horror films, The Devil's Bath. Best Screenplay goes to Alonso Ruispalacíos for La Cocina – a drama about the people who prepare the restaurant food. Malou Khébizi wins Best Actress for her role as Liane in the French social-realist drama Wild Diamond, while Best Actor goes to Izaac Wang for his role in the coming-of-age comedy Dìdi.
The jury’s motivation for Best Film to Nickel Boys by RaMell Ross reads:
“A masterful and impactful film that, through its choice of perspective, immerses us in the character’s harrowing journey into the dark history of racism and segregation in the United States. At the same time, it presents a moving and powerful story of friendship and courage, standing tall even in the face of darkness. A film that innovatively explores the full spectrum of cinematic expression, resonating deeply and bridging the past with the present.”
Best Documentary goes to the American-Ukrainian director duo Brendan Bellomo and Slava Leontyev for the film Porcelain War. The International jury of film critics, FIPRESCI, has chosen Emilia Pérez by Jacques Audiard for Best Film. The actor Erik Svedberg-Zelman, seen in the film Düsseldorf, Skåne, receives this year's award for SkyShowtime Rising Star 2024.
