The movie "Still Life" by Chinese director Jia Zhangke won the top prize at the International Film Festival held in the southern Chilean city of Valdivia on Wednesday.
Jia won the award for the best international feature film and 4,000 U.S. dollars at the closing ceremony of the film festival, which opened on Oct. 5 in Valdivia, 600 km south of Santiago.
At last year's Venice Film Festival, Jia was awarded the Golden Lion for best movie with his documentary-style "Still Life," a story about a man searching for his ex-wife and a woman looking for her husband in a town about to be submerged by the rising waters of the Three Gorges Dam.
Han Sanming, the main character in the film, won the best actor award. |
