Roberta Durrant’s KROTOA was named Best Narrative Feature, with Daniel Peddle’s GARDEN OF THE PEACEFUL DRAGON taking the award for Best Documentary Feature. Ilker Savaskurt’s GROOM’S BLOCK won Best World Film (Narrative) and Steven McGregor’s SERVANT OR SLAVE took the prize for Best World Documentary.
“This year’s lineup is typically diverse, both in content and the filmmakers responsible for the films, bookended by personal profiles that hit close to home both because of their redemptive themes and because they get to the heart of what is the best in humanity,” said Harlem International Film Festival Program Director Nasri Zacharia, “In our 12th year, the festival will once again provide a forum for wonderful storytelling and exciting moments on the big screen created by talent all around the world.”
