Julia Murat wins best diretor for Regra 34.
Marcelo Gomes’ trans drama Paloma was named best fiction film at Sunday’s (October 16) closing ceremony of 24th Rio International Film Festival – one of several films that stood out in the traditionally strong Première Brasil section.
Some of the features which received their world premiere in the section leave the so-called Cidade Maravilhosa (Wonderful City) of Rio with chances to build an international career, such as Property (Propriedade), Transe, and Kobra Self Portrait (Kobra Auto Retrato).
Paloma screened for the first time in Munich last July and tells of a trans woman desperate for a traditional church wedding.
