Best International Debut Feature<\/strong><\/p>\n

Party Girl by Marie Amachoukeli, Claire Burger and Samuel Theis (France, 2014),<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A stunning, authentic, judgment-free, and humorous reminder that redemption, in fiction and in life, is always available and never linear or expected. Angelique Ritzenberger’s eponymous turn is a revelation of humanity and performance, as is the supporting cast populated by her real life children.<\/em><\/p>\n
