The winner of the Best New Narrative Filmmaker Award is Zoned In
Directed by Daniela Zanzotto (USA)
 
Jury Comments: "This was a challenging and spirited discussion with two clear favorites: both films are very different and the jury felt that both should get equal mention even though only one gets the prize. We thought Hotel Grammercy Park was a highly entertaining and moving story about a New York family an a New York institution coming to terms with a changing city, but in the end we felt Zoned In deserved the prize for having the bravery to tell a seemingly typical story that ends up revealing bold and difficult truths.
 
Daniela will receive $5,000 in cash, sponsored by the New York State Governor's Office for Motion Picture and Television Development, and the art award "Table Odeon", created by Donna Ferrato.
