At the 20th anniversary Tribeca Film Festival in New York, winners have been announced in several competition categories.

She received three awards at once: for the best film (directed by Levan Koguashvili), for the best script (for Boris Frumin) and for the best actor (for Levan Tediashvili).

What is the movie about

Brighton 4 was filmed with the participation of five countries: Georgia, Russia, USA, Bulgaria and Monaco. The plot is built around the story of the former champion wrestler Kakha, who is sent from Georgia to the United States to rescue his unlucky son from trouble. The picture plunges the viewer into the colorful atmosphere of emigrant life in Brighton Beach.

It is noteworthy that Levan Tediashvili, who received the award for the best role, is not a professional actor, but a famous freestyle and sambo wrestler, winner of two Olympic Games. He is unusually organic and convincing in the role of a father who goes to great lengths to save his son. Although this was not his first acting experience - he also starred in a film many years ago.

What other foreign films have received awards

The award for Best Actress in an International Game Competition was shared by Bassant Ahmed and Basmala Elgayesh, who portrayed young Egyptian sisters in the drama Souad directed by Ayten Amin. On the one hand, girls try not to go beyond the traditional behavior prescribed by religion and customs. On the other hand, they, in fact, lead a double life, hiding their total dependence on smartphones and social media.

For the best cinematography "Tribeca" was awarded to the French director Elisabeth Vogler. She shot her own experimental film "Roaring 20's" on the streets of Paris using continuous frame (the film was shot in only six takes). An episode with one group of passers-by smoothly turns into another, and that one - into a third, and so, as if by accident, a variety of stories are strung on the narrative rod.

Prizes for American paintings

In the American Film Competition category, the jury chose the sports drama The Novice, directed by Lauren Hadaway. Like Brighton 4, this film has three prizes, including an award for best film. Cinematographer Todd Martin won the Best Shooting Award, and actress Isabella Furman was voted Best for her role as Alex Doll, a college freshman with a passion for sports success at all costs.

Alex enters the varsity rowing team and finds himself in an extremely competitive environment. To prove her right to claim a place in the boat of favorites, she trains like an obsessive and sacrifices everything else in the name of achieving her main goal. The mental state of the heroine is on the verge of a nervous breakdown, especially since she has to deal with personal complexes associated with her homosexuality.

Best Actor in an American Game Contest was named Matthew Leone for his role in the film God's Waiting Room, directed by Tyler Riggs. Leone plays an adventurer from New York who comes to Florida and becomes part of a love triangle.

Best Screenplay went to Mark, Mary and Some Other People, directed by Hannah Marks. She was the author of this romantic story with comedy elements. A guy and a girl meet and get married after some time, but their marriage will be tested for strength in the most difficult circumstances.

Documentary tapes

Documentary has traditionally taken a prominent place in the Tribeca program. The main prize in the documentary competition went to the American film Ascension, filmed in China by Jessica Kingdon. Rise also won the Albert Meisels Award for Best New Documentary Director.

Filmed in the genre of observation essays, the film focuses on various aspects of the "Chinese dream." How an ordinary Chinese lives, not an oligarch or a loser, but a man from the crowd. What is China's current prosperity based on, how did this country manage to become a world leader in the production of everything and everyone? The picture acquaints not only with the peculiarities of production, but also with the boom in the consumption of all kinds of services and entertainment by the Chinese of different strata of society.

The festival closes on June 20th. The directorate of "Tribeca" reported that the winners of the Audience Award will be announced next week.

The annual Tribeca Film Festival was founded following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack in Lower Manhattan by actor Robert De Niro and producers Jane Rosenthol and Craig Hathkoff. The aim of the festival was to help restore the business and cultural life of Manhattan's Tribeca borough, which was hardest hit by the tragedy. Today the festival has grown to become one of the major international film events.
