Italian documentary wins Golden Lion
11:18 • 09.09.13
An Italian documentary, which explores the lives of people living along Rome's notorious ring road, has won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival, BBC News reported.
Sacro GRA, directed by Gianfranco Rosi, becomes the first documentary ever to win the Golden Lion.
Accepting the award on Saturday, Rosi called it "an incredible honour".
Britain's Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope won best screenplay for Philomena, a two-hander between Coogan and Judi Dench, a favourite for the Golden Lion.
The film, directed by Stephen Frears, stars Dame Judi in the real-life role of an Irish woman who was forced by nuns to give up her son for adoption, and nearly 50 years later sets off on a journey in search of her son.
"Sacro GRA", a pun on the ring road's name which evokes the Italian for Holy Grail, is the first Italian production to win the top award for 15 years.
"I didn't expect to win such an important prize with a documentary," said Rosi.
"It was truly an act of courage, a barrier has been broken. "
