Tomas Alfredson's Swedish vampire flick "Let the Right One In" and Gini Reticker's study of Liberian unrest "Pray the Devil Back to Hell" took home the Tribeca Film Festival's top narrative and docu feature awards Thursday.
Alfredson proved himself to be a winner even before the ceremony at the Target-Tribeca Filmmaker Lounge: The helmer is being pursued by several agencies looking to represent him.
As the fest wound down, buyers were cautiously circling available titles. Samuel Goldwyn Films vp acquisitions Peter Goldwyn, while praising Tribeca for charging a reasonable amount for industry passes in its effort to accommodate buyers, put the slow sales in perspective. Like recent Toronto and Sundance fests, he said, "It's just another festival dealing with a lack of strong independent movies. It's not a great year for independent film as a whole."
The best new narrative filmmaker award went to Huseyin Karabey for the romance "My Marlon and Brando", and the best new docu filmmaker award to Carlos Carcas for "Old Man Bebo", his profile of a Cuban mambo legend.
