The 66th Berlin Film Festival has come to a close, and the winners of this year’s top awards have been announced.
Meryl Streep and her interbational jury took to the stage at the Berlinale Palast to dish out the awards in front of a packed auditorium.
The Golden Bear went to the superb documentary Fire At Sea, which is directed by Gianfranco Rosi, an outstanding film from Italy and France that focuses on a Mediterranean island, just 20km in diameter that impressed very early on in this year’s festival. The Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize went to Danis Tanovic’s Death In Sarajevo.
In terms of the acting prizes, Clive Owen presented the Silver Bear for Best Actor to Majd Mastoura for Inhebbek Hedi, and Meryl Streep handed the Best Actress award to Trine Dyrholm for her performance in the outstanding The Commune.
