| Award Winners Announced At FLIFF Finale |
|
After nearly four weeks of film screenings, special events, receptions and information seminars, weary Festival honcho Gregory von Hausch took to the stage of the Cinema Paradiso last evening to announce this year's award winners at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival (FLIFF). Winning top prize as Best Film of the Fest was Gospel Hill, the feature debut of actor/director Giancarlo Esposito. The race relations drama, made even more relevant by last week's historic Presidential election, took Esposito by surprise. As he took the mic, Esposito told a heartfelt story of how he had just gotten off the phone with his daughter Shayne; how she had fished for two hours that day and caught nothing when her friends were reeling them in.
