SXSW is all-encompassing right now but I got a couple of emails yesterday reminding me that time marches on. Miami International Film Festival announced yesterday that João Moreira Salles’ Santiago won the Knight Grand Jury Prize, with Special Mentions going to Santa Fe Street (Calle Santa Fe) and A Paper Tiger (Un Tigre de Papel).

I had the fortune of seeing Santiago during the Tribeca Film Festival as one of their world cinema films that was available for download through Jaman during the fest. It is a beautiful and engaging film. Also, STRANDED: I come from a plane that crashed on the mountains won the Audience Award. Congrats to the filmmakers and I hope Miami went off without a hitch!

Also, the AFI Dallas fest announced their film line-up for this year’s incarnation, which I’m hoping to head north for at the end of the month. Doc competition films after the jump or download the whole program.
