Two
French films win top prizes at LA festival
Two French movies focusing on the plight of immigrants in
foreign lands have received top awards at a Los Angeles French
film festival, organizers said Sunday.
"Eden a l'Ouest," the latest production of famed director Costa-Gavras,
has received the critics' award at the "City of Lights, City of
Angels" festival.
The film tells the story about the trials and tribulations of an
illegal immigrant in Europe.
"Welcome," produced by director Philippe Lioret, has won the
public's award. It recounts the story of a meeting between a
Frenchman and an illegal Kurdish immigrant trying to reach
Britain. |
