Samson & Delilah wins Camera D’or at Cannes

SAMSON & DELILAH, the low-budget feature film debut from Australian director-writer-cinematographer, Warwick Thornton has stunned the film world by taking out the Camera d’Or at the Cannes International Film Festival.

The prize – one of the most coveted in film – was awarded by an independent jury to the best first feature film presented in any of the three Cannes selections – Official Selection, Director’s Fortnight or International Critics Week.

French actress Isabelle Adjani awarded the prize to what the jury described as “the best love film we’ve seen for many a year.”
