Sin Nombre Nominated for British Indie Film Award

By Nick Dawson On October 27, 2009

The nominations for the 2009 British Independent Film Awards were announced yesterday, and indieWIRE has the full list. The leading contenders for the awards, which will be announced on December 6, include Andrea Arnold's contemporary urbam drama Fish Tank (which will be released Stateside in early 2010) and Moon, the quirky sci-fi movie starring Sam Rockwell (in multiple roles) and directed by Duncan Jones, the son of a certain David Bowie.

In the Best Foreign Film category, Sin Nombre, the debut feature from Cary Joji Fukunaga about illegal immigrants' journey to America, was one of the five nominees, honored alongside Italian political drama Il Divo, Kathrym Bigelow's acclaimed Iraq movie The Hurt Locker, the offbeat Swedish horror film Let The Right One In, and Mickey Rourke's comeback movie, The Wrestler.
