The 18th annual Angel Film Awards — Monaco International Film Festival Jury Board announced their full winners’ list on Sunday.
Usually held in the Principality of Monaco, the non-profit independent festival is taking place online from Dec. 11-14 this year — but that didn’t stop the festival from honoring this year’s winners.
As a consolation, the jury board for this year’s festival will return for next year’s hopefully in-person festival, where all of this year’s winners will be invited back to have out-of-competition screenings and red carpets in 2022.
The 2021 jury board includes playwright, director, and A Clockwork Orange actor Steven Berkoff as Jury President; Stanley a Man of Variety director and producer Stephen Cookson; Hollyoaks actress Victoria Atkin, and Transformers: Age of Extinction actor Andreas Beckett.
The festival’s awards are split between feature films and shorts. The feature films that took home the most awards this year were the American film TwoTwo and the Belgian film Adam & Eve.
TwoTwo took home Best Feature Film, Best Female Actor for Morgan Makana, Best Original Music Score for Jun and Husky Hoskulds, and Best Visual Effects in a Feature for Mark Larranaga. Adam & Eve took home The Independent Spirit Awards for a Feature, Best Male Actor in a Feature for Bob De Moore, Best Male Supporting Actor in a Feature for Marijus De Valck, and Best Female Supporting Actor in a Feature for Annabelle Van Maderghem.
The short film that took home the most awards this year was Egypt’s Tuk Tuk, which won Best Short Film, Best Producer for Sherine Alaa and Mohamed Kheidr, Best Female Actor for Elham Wagdi, Best Female Supporting Actor for Marie Guergess, and Best Male Supporting Actor for Omar Rashed.
