SXSW Film Awards; FORT TILDEN, THE GREAT INVISIBLE Win Top Awards

Envelope please! The Jury Awards were announced last night for SXSW Film 2014, and FORT TILDEN, debut feature film of directors Sarah-Violet Bliss and Charles Rogers, won the top award for Best Narrative Film, and THE GREAT INVISIBLE directed by Margaret Brown won the award for Best Documentary.

FORT TILDEN explores quarter life crisis, as two friends, Allie struggles to prepare for the Peace Corps, while Harper awaits checks from her father to fund her artistic dreams. But the two friends quickly shun responsibilities for the day when a pair of good-looking guys invites them along for a carefree Fort Tilden afternoon. As the two young women board their bikes and embark on a lengthy journey to the beach, they quickly realize that, akin to their confusing, transitioning lives, they neither know where they’re going nor how they plan to get there. On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. It killed 11 workers and caused the worst oil spill in American history. THE GREAT INVISIBLE goes beyond the media coverage to examine the crisis in depth.
