Mention d’Honneur for TSUNAMI at FICTS Fest

In Sport Movies & TV 2020 – 38^th Milano International FICTS Fest (November 7^th to 11^th, 2020 / Italy), Milad Sadrameli’s debut film, TSUNAMI, received Mention d’Honneur in Movies category.

The film had received nominations from Wales IFF and Barcelona Asian FF before.

In THR (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/tsunami-1207191), Deborah Young writes, “In many ways, the film follows genre rules, starting with the arrival of a new-old coach who is hired to whip a dispirited team into shape for a comeback, and ending with a spectacular showdown between rivals before a screaming public. This will spell tune-out time for many casual viewers, but as the story progresses, a pervasive sense of helplessness and loss sweeps over every character, turning a simple sports film into something darker and more personal. It should make all the difference for festivals.”
