Wir gratulieren ganz herzlich Joy Alphonsus, die für ihre darstellerische Leistung in Sudabeh Mortezais
Spielfilm JOY den Preis für die beste Schauspielerin beim Sevilla International Film Festival gewonnen hat!

Jurybegründung:
„Although not a professional actress, Joy Alphonsus carries the film through her captivating, open, honest, intelligent and authentic performance. She plays a human trafficked sex worker in Austria trying to escape from third-world poverty. She struggles through the indignity of circumstance with a focus on achieving a life of dignity and personal freedom – despite the odds.”
