FRIDA (2002) was honored with an AFI AWARD in 2002, recognizing it as one of the most outstanding achievements in the art of the moving image. According to the official AFI AWARDS rationale, “FRIDA is a movie about art that is a work of art in itself. The film’s unique visual language takes us into an artist’s head and reminds us that art is best enjoyed when it moves, breathes and is painted on a giant canvas, as only the movies can provide.”
