The Best Screenplay award is added to the other distinctions for Avranas’ film. “Miss Violence” talks about the relations of power and violence developed between the members of a modern family. The film was honored with the Silver Lion in the 70th International Venice Film Festival, while Themis Panos won the First Actor award for his playing.
