Tribeca: Demetri Martin, Oren Moverman among the festival’s jury prize winners

Comedian Demetri Martin’s directorial effort “Dean,” the Palestinian hip-hop movie “Junction 48” and the police-centric documentary “Do Not Resist” were the big jury prize winners at the Tribeca Film Festival, the festival said Thursday.

“Dean,” which won the U.S. narrative prize, tells the story of an illustrator who falls in love with an Angeleno woman as a family real-estate drama unfolds. Martin stars in the movie, continuing his own brand of offbeat comedy.

“Junction,” directed by Udi Aloni and co-written by the noted screenwriter Oren Moverman (“Love & Mercy”), looks at a group of Palestinian rappers in the Israeli Arab city of Lod as tensions of various kinds swirl around them. The movie, in Arabic and Hebrew, won the international narrative prize, the first time Tribeca has split out foreign and domestic awards.

And “Do Not Resist,” which took the documentary prize, has director Craig Atkinson investigating the increasingly timely topic of the militarization of the police. “In an impactful way the director uses his amazing access to look at power and force from the inside,” said Roger Ross Williams, the Oscar winner who served as a jury member.

Also winning awards were “Women Who Kill,” which saw Webisode star Ingrid Jungermann take the U.S. screenplay prize; Dominic Rains (“The Fixer”), who won for best actor in U.S. narrative; and Mackenzie Davis (“Always Shine”), who landed best actress in U.S. narrative.

The ruminative visual essay “Notes on Blindness” took the prize in the coveted multimedia Storyscapes section.

Tribeca, which runs through Sunday, will announce its audience winners this weekend.
