65th Berlin International Film Festival awards – winners


Tonight was the official closing night awards ceremony for the 65th Berlin International Film Festival.

The night's top prize, the Golden Bear for Best Film, went to Taxi by Jafar Panahi. Because Panahi has been unable to leave Iran after his 2010 conviction on charges of "making propaganda," the award was accepted on his behalf by his young niece Hanna Saeidi. The International Jury consisted of Darren Aronofsky (President), Daniel Brühl, Bong Joon-ho, Martha De Laurentiis, Claudia Llosa, Audrey Tautou and Matthew Weiner.

The Best Director Silver Bear was shared by Radu Jude for Aferim! and Małgorzata Szumowska for Body. Both acting Silver Bears went to Andrew Haigh's 45 Years stars Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay. Patricio Guzmán won the Best Script prize for his film El botón de nácar (The Pearl Button)

The Audience Awards went to to Anna Muylaert's Que Horas Ela Volta? (The Second Mother) for Best Fiction Film and to Saeed Taji Farouky and Michael McEvoy's Tell Spring Not To Come This Year for Best Documentary Film.
