There was great news for Argentinian filmmaker Juan Sebastián Torales last night as his semi-autobiographical blending of drama and folklore Almamula won the International Jury Prize for Best First Feature at Inside Out in Toronto. The jury also gave a special mention to Something You Said Last Night, directed by Luis De Filippis.
Inside Out has a special commitment to supporting the voices of Canadian filmmakers, and this year's Canadian Jury favourite was Lulu Wei's Supporting Our Selves, a documentary exploring networks of support and advocacy within Toronto's queer community. Meanwhile, the Audience Awards went to Ally Pankiw's tale of a traumatised stand-up comedian on a mission, I Used To Be Funny.
