Seattle (USA, May 16 – June 9, 2013). Prize, dedicated to the Best New American Film: "C.O.G., written and directed by Kyle Patrick Alvarez. Jury: Anders Larsson, Sweden ("Kristianstadsbladet"), Andrés Nazarala, Chile ("La Segunda"), José Antonio Teodoro, Canada ("Cinema Scope", "Film Comment"). Print source: Preferred Content, Zac Bright, 6363 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 350, Los Angeles, CA 90048, USA, info@preferredcontent.net, www.preferredcontent.net. Motivation: "We, the members of FIPRESCI, are very pleased to award the International Critics Prize for Best New American Film to C.O.G., written and directed by Kyle Patrick Alvarez. Unsentimental yet openhearted, Alvarez’s adaptation of David Sedaris’ essay tells a compelling story of youthful self-actualization, of defining encounters with class, sex and religion, that refuses to succumb to the dictates of fashionable identity politics. Its narrative trajectory is fundamentally wayward, yet its clipped, idiosyncratic pacing, its evocative visualization of the fecund landscapes and overcast light of the Pacific Northwest, and its use of the percussive music of Steve Reich converge to immerse us in a very particular world, and to create a film of unlikely momentum, unnerving humour and subtle emotional resonance."
