Iran's 'About Elly' tops Tribeca nods

April 30, 2009 The Tribeca Film Festival has handed out its jury prizes, bestowing best narrative feature on Iranian Asghar Farhadi's "About Elly" and best documentary feature on Marshall Curry's Go-Kart doc "Racing Dreams." Farhadi's tale examines a group of upper-middle-class Iranians on a seaside vacation and the relationships that form among them, while Curry looks at competitive Go-Kart racing among young people who dream of racing cars professionally. The festival also gave its best new narrative filmmaker prize to Norwegian Rune Denstad Langlo, who directed "Nord," about a skier who has become a recluse, and its best new doc filmmaker award to Ian Olds, whose "Fixer" looks at the killing of an Afghani translator.
