Agnieszka Holland’s biopic has won the Best Film Award, while the period drama flick Shadow Country was honoured with the most trophies. On the heels of the Czech Film Critics’ Awards comes the annual Czech Lion ceremony, which sees members of the Czech Film and Television Academy casting their votes to celebrate the domestic cinema of 2020. The Czech Film Critics’ Awards (see the news) had already singled out Agnieszka Holland’s period biopic Charlatan and Bohdan Sláma’s period drama Shadow Country as two of the strongest hopefuls, and indeed, Shadow Country had been leading the nominations here. Sláma’s first foray into period film, a collective portrait of a Czech village near the German border during the events of the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, won a total of six awards, including Best Actress (for both the leading and supporting roles), Best Screenplay and Best Editing. Producers Šárka Cimbalová and Kevan Van.
