Koreeda’s film wins 5 collateral awards at Venice
The five prizes, which were independently awarded by external organizations other than the festival itself, included the CinemaSara Award.
Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Koreeda's film "Look Back" emerged victorious from the Venice International Film Festival, securing five separate accolades alongside its main competitor. The narrative of "Look Back," centered around two young women driven by their shared love for comics, faced off against other contenders in the prestigious event.
The awards ceremony took place on Saturday night on the picturesque island of Lido, near Venice in northern Italy. The five accolades, granted by external entities unbeknownst to the festival, include the CinemaSara Award. The Golden Lion for Best Film was awarded to Danish director May el-Toukhy's "Woman Unknown." In contrast, Koreeda's "Look Back" took home the Leoncino d'Oro Award, a unique recognition determined by a panel of high school students and others.
