The award for the Best Film in the International Competition Section is given to HERE AND THERE for its heartbreaking portrayal of every day life in Mexico and one man's struggle to support his family. Bursting with dignity and subtle performances, this wonderful film illustrates the power of a simple story well told.
For its raw and atmospheric visual palette, bold use of real and rarely seen locations, and cast which brought a refreshing realism, the award goes to Time and Again, an ambitious portrait of an immigrant's struggle to find love in a new land.
