\n\tLucrecia Martel\u2018s documentary \u201cLandmarks\u201d (\u201cNuestra Tierra\u201d) was awarded best film in the official competition of this year\u2019s London Film Festival. <\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cLandmarks\u201d explores the murder of Indigenous leader Javier Chocobar and the legacy of colonialism in Latin America. Of selecting the film, the competition jury \u2014 which was led by president Elizabeth Karlsen \u2014 said: \u201cWith deep empathy and extraordinary journalistic and cinematic rigor, the director Lucrecia Martel dives deep into the events surrounding the 2009 murder of the Chuschagasta leader Javier Chocobar, in Argentina\u2019s Tucum\u00e1n Province. In foregrounding present-day voices and neglected histories, Martel emerges with a portrait of \u2014 and for \u2014 an Indigenous community, and grants them a measure of the justice the courts have long denied them. Within a remarkably strong competition, our jury is proud to honor this singular achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tElsewhere, Vincho Nchogu\u2019s \u201cOne Woman One Bra\u201d \u2014 a humorous account of one woman\u2019s fight to keep her ancestral land \u2014 was awarded the Sutherland Award for best first feature.
