And the winner of best film at the SIFF is...

SIFForiginal_actor.jpg Danish-Swedish drama, "Original," which Slumdog director Danny Boyle called a "light, touching and subversive study of mental illness that is both compassionate and never sentimental." The movie follows the trials of Henry, a man who has acted as a pale reflection of other people's expectations his whole life, when he decides to make an effort at becoming a true original. Sverrir Gudnason, who plays the male lead in the movie, also won the SIFF's best actor award. The jury called his performance "brilliant, sensitive and humorous..." and "absolutely mesmerizing."
