| I Am Not Madame Bovary |
Feng Xiaogang's I Am Not Madame Bovary won the Golden Seashell at the San Sebastian Film Festival. The film about a woman who takes on the Chinese legal system also saw star Fan Bingbing named best actress.
It was a good night for Asian directors, as Korean filmmaker Hang Sang-soo took home the Silver Shell for Best Director for his romantic comedy about a jealous painter Yourself And Yours.
There were also prizes for homegrown talent, as Isabel Peña and Rodrigo Sorogoyen won the Jury Prize for Best Screenplay for tense Spanish thriller May God Save Us (Que Dios Nos Perdone) and veteran Spanish star Eduard Fernández was named best actor for Smoke And Mirrors (El Hombre De Las Mil Caras).
Pepe San Martin's LGBT family drama Rara won the Horizontes Award, while the New Directors prize went to Sofia Exarchou for Park about teenagers, set against the backdrop of the run-down Olypmic Village - both prizes come with a £30,000 purse.
The FIPRESCI prize went to debut director William Oldroyd for his period drama of lust and murder Lady Macbeth. Read about earlier announced award winners here.
