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.

The Claude Jutra Award is a juried prize whose winner is announced in advance of the Genie Award ceremony.

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