A very fine prize for the Gustave Kervern / Benoît Delépine duo, who left the Berlin International Film Festival with the Silver Bear 70th Berlinale, a newly minted prize, for their eighth feature, Delete History.
Many prizes crowned French cinema at the end of the Berlinale's 70th edition, of which two were for films presented in the official selection. We should note the Best Documentary award went to Rithy Panh's new film, Irradiated, and the one received by If It Were Love by Patric Chiha at the Teddy Awards.
