The war satire “Atropia,” about actors in a military role-playing facility, won the grand jury prize in the Sundance Film Festival’s U.S. dramatic competition, 

 The Grand Jury prize award went to the film “ATROPIA” produced by Oscar award winner Luca Guadagnino and starring Alia Shawkat, Channing Tatum, and Callum Turner.

Based on her 2020 short “Shako Mako,” Hailey Gates writes and directs “Atropia,” a ‘unique war satire’ (says Variety) about Western views of the Middle East.

Spotted at the official premiere after-party held at the Rendezvous Cinema Center were stars of the film Bill Murray and Alia Shawkat. 

 


Alia Shawkat attends the Rendezvous Cinema Center on Saturday, 1/25/25.
