61st Berlin International Film Festival - award winners


The 61st Berlin International Film Festival is drawing to a close and they have presented their awards including the main jury awards. The Golden Bear for Best Film went to Jodaeiye Nader az Simin (Nader And Simin, A Separation) by Asghar Farhadi. It also won the Silver Bear prizes for Best Actor and Best Actress for the ensemble cast.

While the Berlin Festival openly condemned Iranian government's conviction of director Jafar Panahi, this won't be necessarily seen as a political and unearned decision by the jury, which was led by Isabella Rossellini. The film was very well-reviewed and doesn't have any blatant political content. Nonetheless, director Asghar Farhadi dedicated his wins to Panahi, saying "This goes out to you. I hope next time you will be standing here."

A torinói ló (The Turin Horse) by Hungarian director Béla Tarr claimed the Silver Bear Jury Grand Prix. The Silver Bear for Best Director was awarded to Ulrich Köhler for Schlafkrankheit (Sleeping Sickness).
