The Un Certain Regard jury has just given its top prize to Hungarian director Kornél Mundruczó’s White God, a cautionary tale that features a gang of stray dogs who seize an opportunity to escape from a pound and revolt against mankind.

The Jury Prize went to Swedish film Turist, from director Ruben Oestlund, with a Special Prize reserved for Wim Wenders and Juliano Ribeiro Salgado’s documentary The Salt Of The Earth.

Party Girl, the French debut feature that opened the section, was awarded the Ensemble Prize. It hails from writer/directors Marie Amachoukeli, Claire Burger and Samuel Theis.

David Gulpilil was named Best Actor for his role in Rolf de Heer’s Charlie’s Country.

The film also won the Palm Dog, full story.
