[edit] 2020: award at Ontario film fest

Victor Banerjee wins award at Ontario film fest for priest role
New Delhi:
Victor Banerjee has won the “best actor in a secondary role” for his performance of an aging Christian priest in Josef: Born in Grace at the Ontario International Film Festival, reports Avijit Ghosh.
“I modeled my part on the Irish Christian brothers who taught me at school in Shillong,” he said on phone. The film, set between 1960 and 1980 in the foothills of Himalayas, narrates the humanist tale of a priest (Father O’Hara) who looks after an alcoholic young man Josef. The film, directed by Susant Misra, also claimed the award for best cinematography (Sudheer Palsane).
“The film was shot in Ranikhet and nearby areas,” said Banerjee, who has also acted with auteurs like Satyajit Ray (Ghare Baire), David Lean (A Passage to India) and Roman Polanski (Bitter Moon). Josef: Born in Grace is adapted from a short story, Joseph, written by Umakanta Mahapatra. “Through static mise-enscenes, the narrative of the film reflects the all-encompassing nature of time, pre-empting and repeating itself in allegorical hues,” said the film’s synopsis on Ontario film festival website.
