Don't be fooled by the parkas-things in Park City, Utah, got muy caliente over the weekend.
For the second year in a row, a primarily Spanish-language film centering on the life of immigrants nabbed the top prize at the Sundance Film Festival.
Following on the heels of last year's dominating winner, Quinceanera, Padre Nuestro (Our Father), a thriller directed by Christopher Zalla, took home the indie film festival's top honor of 2007, nabbing the Grand Jury Prize for a dramatic picture. The flick chronicles a young, illegal Mexican immigrant who hops a truck to New York City to seek out the father he barely knows.
Grace Is Gone won the coveted Audience Award, which bodes well for the John Cusack weepie. Last year the trophy went to current awards-show favorite Little Miss Sunshine...Source: E! News
