Matthew Beard Receives Special Mention For And When Did You Last See Your Father? Performance [ 10/12/2007 ]

The film festivals in Tbilisi and Cairo concluded this weekend, and the end of a festival can mean only one thing: It's time to give out some prizes!

It was the eighth edition of the relatively young Tbilisi International Film Festival (it's the capital city of the former Soviet republic of Georgia). The films are almost all from Europe, particularly eastern Europe, and there are just four prizes given: best film, best director, most "outstanding poetic vision," and best film as chosen by the International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI).

(Among the winners) there was a special jury prize for director Shoaib Mansour and his Pakistani film In the Name of God (Khuda Ke Liye), and a special mention of actor Mathew Beard in And When Did You Last See Your Father, from the U.K.
