El Principe by Chilean director Sebasti\u00e1n Mu\u00f1oz has won the thirteenth annual Queer Lion prize at the 76th annual Venice Film Festival<\/strong> in Italy.<\/p>\n

The three-person jury announced the winner on Thursday. Nine films competed for the prize which recognizes films with queer elements playing at the festival.<\/p>\n

This is the first time a Chilean film has won the prize.<\/p>\n

\u201cEl Pr\u00edncipe is a passionate portrait of life in a Chilean prison on the eve of [Salvador] Allende\u2019s rise to power in 1970,\u201d the judges wrote. \u201cThe savage brutality of prison life is contrasted by [the] intensely emotional relationships between prisoners. Led by a towering Alfredo Castro, the excellent ensemble cast give stirring performances of a powerful script which conveys the paradoxical acceptance of gay attachments in prison at a time when it was not socially acceptable. Sebasti\u00e1n Mu\u00f1oz\u2019s directorial debut is a bold and erotically charged exploration of recent history which reveals an unexpected tenderness at its heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

The film, based on a novel written by Mario Cruz in the early 70s, is Mu\u00f1oz’s directorial debut.<\/p>\n

The Venice Film Festival concluded on Saturday.<\/p>\n
