Saturday's Special Jury Prize Remains Saturday

TL;DR

Reuters filed NAZA's Special Jury Prize on Saturday. Monday has no second special. A special is not the Lion.

MSM Perspective

Reuters filed NAZA on Saturday. Monday does not re-award it.

X Perspective

Festival feeds treat a recap as a new jury night.

NAZA, from Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, took the Special Jury Prize on Saturday. [1] Reuters listed it in the same winners table as Woman Unknown's Golden Lion. [1] This paper printed it in that table. Monday has no second special.

A Special Jury Prize is not the Lion. Khrzhanovsky's director prize and Malkovich's actor prize remain Saturday's furniture. Honorary Lions for Clooney and Burstyn were already prior. Monday is not a new jury night.

Jury prizes photograph well and distribute slowly. NAZA's distributors now do the real work of the win. Festivals end; release calendars begin.

Special Jury Prizes often enjoy longer festival afterlives than their placement suggests; distributors watch them closely. NAZA's next stop will be named by its sales agent, not by Monday's papers. Until then it remains a Saturday credit.

Saturday credits need Monday legs; sales agents provide them. Monday's legs are unreported. The credit keeps.

Kept credits keep; Monday keeps one. Keeping is the update. Agents name next stops.

Named next stops belong to sales agents; Monday names none. NAZA remains a Saturday credit. Distributors watch anyway.

NAZA remains a Saturday credit. Distributors watch anyway. Monday names none.

The Lido emptied on schedule after Saturday's table. Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor's Special Jury Prize still sits in that table, not on a new night. Woman Unknown keeps the Lion; this film keeps the special. Sales calendars, not recap reels, will move it next.
Monday names no new night. Distributors watch anyway. Monday names none.

Monday names no new night. Distributors watch anyway. Monday names none.
