‘Court’ the Indian judicial drama directed by Chaithanya Tamhane is continuing its dream run in the International Film Festival circuit. The recent recognition of ‘Court’ came from Vienna, where the film won the FIPRESCI prize at the Vienna International Film Festival. The festival was concluded on November 6th, and the recognition of Court in this festival became another feather in the crown for Chaithanya and her crew.

“This film is a quietly sophisticated, emotionally restrained yet hugely affecting account of the politics, incompetence and casual corruption of the Indian justice system, which has a universal resonance. While focused on legal procedure, glimpses into the everyday lives of the protagonists add depth and surprising humour to the iniquities within the court”, said the Jury about the film.

‘Court’ is a movie with huge social significance. The film paves light to the unholy alliances and partnerships which prevail in the much glorified Indian Judiciary system. This is not the first time that ‘Court’ is winning award from an International event. The film has previously won the Golden Gateway award for Best Film, Best Director and Jury Special Mention for Ensemble Cast at the 16th Mumbai Film Festival. ‘Court’ also won the Best Film Award in the Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival
