AFI Fest 2016 Presented by Audi announced the Jury and Audience Awards Winners.
Excellent choices. The 2016 AFIFest winners are absolutely fantastic.
The French production "Divines" won three of the awards, the film has plenty of diversity and creativity, and displays an insightful vision of teenagers in trouble, a must see!!!
