'Ice' wins narrative jerk at Woodstock Fest

"Round the Ice," the Alaska-set thriller by Andrew Okpeaha MacLean, acquired the narrative feature award within the 2011 Woodstock Film Festival, with water-contamination doc "Semper Fi: Always Faithful" nabbing the docu laurel. "Semper Fi," that have its world preem at Tribeca taken, also acquired the aud kudo for doc, with Emilio Aragon's The the spanish language language Civil War-set tale "Paper Wild wild birds" winning the festgoer election to get the best narrative pic. "Round the Ice," which preemed at Sundance this year, also needed home the trophy for cinematography, among about 10 competitive kudos provided at Woodstock. Festival's award ceremony also incorporated a tribute to late filmmaker Gary Winick. "Ice," set among Alaska's Inupiaq people, follows two teen boys who uncover an inactive body. Pic formerly acquired some honors at Berlin, including top debut, but, like "Semper Fi," has not been acquired for distribution. The twelfth annual fest closed March. 7 with Tony Kaye's "Detachment."
