The Bentonville Film Foundation, in collaboration with founding partner, Walmart, and presenting sponsor, Coca-Cola, announced the winners of the 12th edition of the Bentonville Film Festival June 20 at a high-energy awards gala. Walter Thompson-Hernández’s “If I Go Will They Miss Me” took the best narrative award while Judd Ehrlich’s “Jane Elliott Against the World” was honored as best documentary. “These awards reflect the passion and drive of storytellers, whose work will continue to broaden perspectives and engage audiences throughout the year,” said Bentonville Film Festival chair Geena Davis in a statement. “We congratulate our BFF award winners and we’re so thankful to every filmmaker here for their contributions to the success of this year’s BFF!” Davis, who was unable to attend this year’s festival as she is shooing actioner “The Kellys,” spoke to the enthusiastic audience via video alongside her co-star Arnold Schwarzenegger.
