Pics and Flicks is proud to present: Still Life WINNER – 2013 VENICE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL Art Cinema Prize for Best Film, Best Director (Horizons) & Pasinetti Critics’ Prize WINNER – 2013 REYKJAVIK FILM FESTIVAL – Best Film WINNER – 2014 EDINBURGH FILM FESTIVAL – Best Actor WINNER – 2014 VOICES FILM FESTIVAL – Grand Prix & Best Actor Don't ignore the quiet ones; this film hides a tenderness and humanity that is extraordinarily powerful A delightful and tender tale of a man who cares for the lonely dead, this film – which won Best Film at last year’s Venice Film Festival – is so far from the action-orientated Hollywood blockbuster that it’s an important reminder of just how wonderfully diverse filmmaking can be.
