Every contest has a winner, and Flickerfest has come off the baking sand to honour a prodigal son.
The Prodigal Son, the emotional story of a gay man in his 40s who is reunited with his traditional, Macedonian family after being estranged from his father for 15 years, has won the Flickerfest IF Media Award for Most Popular Film at Flickerfest 2006.
The award was decided by audiences who packed Flickerfest’s 10-day season at the Bondi Pavilion in Sydney. The Prodigal Son has now qualified for nomination in the 2006 If Awards, one of the key events on the Australian movie calendar.
