Melbourne's Bright Horizons Award: A Cinema Prize That Shines a Light on New Talent The recent announcement of this year's Melbourne International Film Festival's top prize, the $140,000 Bright Horizons Award, has sparked debate about what it takes to succeed in the film industry.
While some praise the winner, La Gradiva, directed by Marine Atlan, others point out the lack of diversity among the nominees.
La Gradiva's win is notable because it follows on from its success at Cannes Critics' Week, where it won the Grand Prize.
