Hana Makhmalbaf’s Buddha Collapsed out of Shame was awarded the top prize at the 11th edition of the Flying Broom International Women’s Film Festival in Ankara, Turkey.
The debut feature earned the festival’s prestigious International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI) Prize, the only FIPRESCI prize given at the event, which is devoted to works by female directors.
For those of you who missed the screening at our own festival earlier this year, Buddha Collapsed Out of Shame will have an additional Toronto screening in late July as part of The Seventh Biennial Conference on Iranian Studies.
