LONDON -- This year's shortlist for the Sutherland Trophy, the British Film Institute's award for new talent in world cinema, comprises Alain Guiraudie's No Rest for the Brave, Siddiq Barmak's Osama and Christoffer Boe's Reconstruction. The entries, announced Tuesday, are chosen by a jury from 12 movies by first-time directors showing during this year's London Film Festival, with a winner to be unveiled at Thursday's closing-night gala. No Rest for the Brave is billed as a dreamlike coming-of-age odyssey, Osama marks a first feature set against the backdrop of post-Taliban Afghanistan, and Reconstruction is an exploration of time, place and point of view. This year's 11-person jury includes director Ben Hopkins, actor Lennie James and London Film Festival artistic director Sandra Hebron. The Sutherland Trophy dates back to the 1950s, when it was first presented on behalf of the BFI by the Duke of Sutherland. Recent recipients include Kenneth Lonergan (You Can Count on Me), Asif Kapadia (The Warrior) and Delphine Gleize (Carnages).
