BACK AT THE KIDS? TABLE, TO WIN AT STOCKHOLM
US director Mike Mills? Thumbsucker won one of the main prizes at the Stockholm International Film Festival Junior, which this year took 8,600 admissions
?When I grew up, I preferred to eat at the kids? table instead of the grown-ups? during dinner - the conversation there always felt more real. So, I am very honoured to be invited back to the kids? table, it really means a lot to me,? said US director Mike Mills, whose Thumbsucker won one of the main prizes at the Stockholm International Film Festival Junior, which ended Sunday, 9 April.
From the competition of 19 films, the Junior jury of 10 children between 6-16-years-old chose Thumbsucker as Best Feature for the age group between 13-16. UK director John Henderson?s Mee-Shee: the Water Giant was favoured for the age group between 10-12, and US director Paul Marcus?s Heidi for the age group between 7-9.
A record number of 400 filmmakers-in-spe participated in the 1 minute of film competition, where the prizes are a chance to make another film with a professional team. The winners were 10-year-old Enja Möller and Ella Lundberg?s Bokmonstret (The Book Monster), and 15-year-old Hugo Andersson?s Fågelinfluensan (The Bird Flue). The children?s showcase took this year 8,600 admissions.
