Awards

"We give the award for Best Actor in a Narrative Feature to Dariel Arrechada and to Javier Nuñez Florian in Una Noche, for potent individual performances that together are even greater than the sum of their parts. Playing Raul and Elio, young Cuban men who goad each other on in a dream of fleeing Havana for a fantasy of Miami, Dariel locates Raul's danger and sexual power as precisely as Javier taps into Elio's essential sweetness. Both young actors are nonprofessionals who took great risks to tell a daring story. Each won our hearts."
