Tir, the first narrative film by Italian director Alberto Fasulo, has picked up the Golden Marc Aurelio Award for best film at the 8th Rome Film Fesival.

Fasulo is best known for documentaries including White Noise (Rumore bianco). Tir is being sold internationally by Fandango Sales.

The festival's market event, The Business Street, got under way Wednesday and will run through Sunday.
Rome -- At its halfway point, the Rome Film Festival is putting memories of last year's event behind it with strong ticket sales, sold-out screenings and events, and a lineup that has much of the Italian capital talking.
Wednesday's highlights included an audience event with Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola, along with the world premiere of Hard to Be a God, the magnum opus from Russian auteur Aleksei German. German died in February, and his career honor Wednesday -- his widow and son were on hand to receive it -- made Rome the first international festival to give a career honor posthumously.
The Business Street, the festival's market event, also got under way Wednesday and will run through Sunday, when the festival concludes. Officials said the number of market badge holders was up 6 percent compared to last year.
