Jaeger-LeCoultre's 2015 Filmmaker in Residence, Athina Rachel Tsangari won the Best Film prize at the 59th BFI London Film Festival.

Jaeger-LeCoultre’s 2015 Filmmaker in Residence, Athina Rachel Tsangari won the Best Film prize at the 59th BFI London Film Festival. Jury president Pawel Pawlikowski, director of the Oscar-winning film Ida, described the winning movie Chevalier as a “study of male antagonism seen through the eyes of a brave and original filmmaker.” He saluted the fact that, “with great formal rigor and irresistible wit, Athena Rachel Tsangari has managed to make a film that is both a hilarious comedy and a deeply disturbing statement on the condition of Western humanity”.

During her tenyor as Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Filmmaker in Residence, Tsangari worked on a screwball action-thriller called White Knuckles that centers around two criminal sisters dealing with “VAT fraud, amour fou, architectural infiltration, and electrically amplified fistfighting”.
