The KPN Audience Award went to Slumdog Millionaire by Danny Boyle and co-director Loveleen Tandan.
The IFFR counted 341,000 visitors to the films, exhibitions, live shows and events, including the 8,000 film lovers who attend the fully booked Volkskrant day on Sunday 1 February 2009.
Teza by Haile Gerima was given the Dioraphte Award (€10,000) by the festival audience for the most highly regarded film made with a contribution from the Hubert Bals Fund.
Teza is an epic about the turbulent recent history of Ethiopia, seen from the perspective of a politically moderate intellectual who tries to maintain his integrity in barbaric conditions,” DearCinema Desk reported.
