Apichatpong Weerasethakul Of Thailand Wins The 2010 Palme D’or by Orikinla(m): 8:19pm On May 24, 2010 |
The 63rd Cannes Film Festival ended with the thai filmmaker, Apichatpong WEERASETHAKUL winning the Palme d’Or, the highest prize for his film “LUNG BOONMEE RALUEK CHAT (Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives)”. If Thailand can go as high as winning the most coveted prize at the Cannes, then Nigeria can produce the films that can qualify for competition and win top prizes. What is the benefit of producing thousands of movies since 1992 to date and not a single Nollywood movie has even qualified for the Official Selection of the Cannes Film Festival? Nigerian filmmakers must step up to compete with the best in the world or go and dump their mediocre movies in the Atlantic Ocean before coming to the Côte d’Azur and get dazed and fazed by the outstanding filmmakers from all over the world. Congratulations to all the worthy winners. The following is the Complete List of the Winners at the 63rd Cannes Film Festival Feature films Palme d’Or LUNG BOONMEE RALUEK CHAT (Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives) directed by Apichatpong WEERASETHAKUL Grand Prix DES HOMMES ET DES DIEUX (OF GODS AND MEN) directed by Xavier BEAUVOIS Award for Best Director Mathieu AMALRIC for TOURNÉE (ON TOUR) Award for Best Screenplay LEE Chang-dong for POETRY Award for Best Actress Juliette BINOCHE in COPIE CONFORME (CERTIFIED COPY) directed by Abbas KIAROSTAMI Award for Best Actor Ex-aequo Javier BARDEM in BIUTIFUL directed by Alejandro GONZÁLEZ IÑÁRRITU Elio GERMANO in LA NOSTRA VITA (OUR LIFE) directed by Daniele LUCHETTI Jury Prize UN HOMME QUI CRIE (A screaming man) directed by Mahamat-Saleh HAROUN Short Films Palme d’Or – Short Film CHIENNE D’HISTOIRE (BARKING ISLAND) directed by Serge AVÉDIKIAN Jury Prize – Short Film MICKY BADER (BATHING MICKY) directed by Frida KEMPFF Un Certain Regard : Un Certain Regard Prize – Groupama Gan Foundation for Cinema HAHAHA directed by HONG Sangsoo Jury Prize – Un Certain Regard OCTUBRE (OCTOBER) directed by Daniel VEGA, Diego VEGA Un Certain Regard Award for Best Actress LOS LABIOS (THE LIPS) played by Victoria RAPOSO, Eva BIANCO, Adela SANCHEZ Cinefondation : 1st Prize Cinéfondation TAULUKAUPPIAAT (THE PAINTING SELLERS) directed by Juho KUOSMANEN 2nd Prize – Cinéfondation COUCOU-LES-NUAGES (Anywhere out of the world) directed by Vincent CARDONA 3rd Prize Cinéfondation Ex-aequo HINKERORT ZORASUNE (THE FIFTH COLUMN) directed by Vatche BOULGHOURJIAN JA VEC JESAM SVE ONO ŠTO ŽELIM DA IMAM (I ALREADY AM EVERYTHING I WANT TO HAVE) directed by Dane KOMLJEN Golden Camera : Caméra d’or AÑO BISIESTO directed by Michael ROWE ~ By Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima

@Orikinla The win was quite a surprise. People were tipping Mike Leigh's "Another Year" for the grand prize. |

obinna5000: Yes. But I am happy that he won to prove that the jury knew the merits of the films in competition. But he is not a stranger to Cannes. I hope to see a filmmaker from Nigeria surprising the Western world at the next Cannes Film Festival. We are all very busy on daring projects. |
