The Silver Branch has won the International Spectrum Audience Award at Toronto’s HotDocs, North America’s largest documentary film festival.
Here’s what HotDocs had to say:
“Gorgeous and profound, The Silver Branch blew #HotDocs25 audiences away, leaving director Katrina Costello awash in extended standing ovations at all screenings…”
Director Katrina Costello commented “Hot Docs was our World premiere; It was so gratifying to watch this international audience be carried away by the gentle rhythms of the film, Patrick’s poetry and the majesty of the Burren landscape and people. We have had 5 offers of International distribution come from the festival and I am looking forward to The Silver Branch going on its own journey around the world” https://www.hotdocs.ca/news/hd18-audience-rogers-award
