Posted
Surveillance, a thriller by Jennifer Lynch, daughter of legendary filmmaker David Lynch, won the top prize at the 41st International Film Festival of Catalonia.
The jury in the Spanish resort of Sitges gave the best director award to South Korea's Kim Jee-woon for The Good, The Bad, The Weird, set in 1930s Manchuria. It also won the prize for best special effects.
Scotland's Brian Cox won the best actor award for his role in the American film Red, while Semra Turan was named best actress for playing a college student obsessed with kung-fu in the Danish film Fighter.
Surveillance is Lynch's first film since the critically panned and controversial Boxing Helena in 1993.
The movie, on which her father was executive producer, stars Bill Pullman and Julia Ormond as FBI agents investigating a massacre.
