Claude Jutra Award

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Claude Jutra Award is a special Canadian film award, presented at the annual Genie Award ceremony to the year's best feature film by a first-time film director. It should not be confused with the Prix Jutra, a separate awards ceremony conducted by the Quebec film industry.

Two films, Le Confessional and Atanarjuat, have won both the Claude Jutra Award and the Best Picture Genie in the same year.
