As the festival nears its end, Tribeca has today announced winners of the 2015 festival, and it looks like Denmark has emerged as the big winner, and how. Films from the Scandinavian county dominated the World Narrative and World Documentary competitions, with Dagur Kári’s Virgin Mountain (A joint Danish/Icelandic production) taking Best Narrative Feature, and Camilla Nielsson’s Democrats taking Best Documentary Feature. Meanwhile, a Danish film, Hamy Ramezan and Rungano Nyoni’s Listen, also claimed Best Narrative Short.
The winners were chosen from 101 feature films, 60 shorts and five “immersive storytelling projects” submitted from 38 countries, with $175,000 in prize money distributed among them. The festival’s winning films will be screened during the final day, April 26, at venues throughout New York City. Screening times and ticket information are available on the official festival website.
Still unknown, the results of the AT&T-sponsored Audience Awards; winners will be announced April 25, when audience votes are tallied.
