: The Berlin film festival on Saturday awarded its Golden Bear top prize to a documentary by French director Nicolas Philibert and its best acting award to an eight-year-old girl in what jury chief Kristen Stewart described as a “boundary-pushing” event.
On a night full of surprises, the festival’s gender-neutral acting prize was awarded to an eight-year-old, Spain’s Sofia Otero . Otero, who fought back tears when collecting the award, later told journalists she was “very grateful, very happy”.Stewart, at 32 the youngest president in the festival’s history, said the jury had been asking themselves all week “what makes a movie a movie”.
There was more success for France as Philippe Garrel, 74, won the Silver Bear for best director for “The Plough”, a drama about three siblings from a family of puppeteers coping with the death of their father. Variety called it “wincingly well-observed and acidly funny”, while the Hollywood Reporter said it was “a deceptively simple and straightforward but emotionally layered film”.Coming in third was “Bad Living” by Portugal’s Joao Canijo, about several female members of the same family who run a dilapidated hotel and are also struggling with their relationships to one another.
Documentaries are regularly selected in major international film competitions, but rarely win awards.
