The House awarded in Palm Springs
Zuzana Liová's debut The House has recevied the New Voices / New Visions Award at Palm Springs IFF in USA. This award is given out to international titles not in the US distribution. According to the Jury, consisting of Jeff Lipsky, co-managing executive of Adopt Films, Paul Hudson, co-founder of Outsider Films and Tom Quinn, co-president The Weinstein Company/New Label, the direction and performances had taken the film to the next level, making people understand why a father might not be able to let go of his children, and also why they would want to leave. "The motivations behind the characters felt real and made for a compelling film about a girl's journey to adulthood," they said.
