Durban International Film Festival - Award Winners for 2016

Award for the Best Feature Film: The Violin Player, directed by Bauddhayan Mukherji.
The jury's citation said: "A seductive and mysterious tale of a violin player's mundane life and an interesting take on how chance encounters are almost predestined. By successfully weaving offbeat editing, brave cinematography, simple screenplay, honest direction and a lot of surprising elements, the film shows us that art, no matter how unimportant it may seem, can change peoples lives. "

Award for Best South African Feature Film: Tess (a 2013 Durban FilmMart project), directed by Meg Rickards, which the jury described as "a measured and uncompromising debut feature."

Best Documentary award: Martha and Niki, directed by Tora Mkandawire Martens, which the jury describes as "visual feast that skillfully intertwines a profound reflection on (an) art form with the inner journey of two compelling characters."
Best Documentary award - special mention: Action Commandant, also a former Durban FilmMart project, by Nadine Cloete, for "its exceptional quality and commitment to its subject matter."

Best SA Documentary: The Journeymen, directed by Sean Metelerkamp. The citation from the jurors said "The Journeymen takes an unflinching look at who we are by holding up the proverbial mirror to South African society. The honesty, bravery and commitment of the film crew results in a mosaic picture of our country with warts and all. This is strong and uncompromising cinema that is simultaneously disturbing and life-affirming."
