Japanese Film Wins Top Prize In Montreal
Watch an excerpt of the film here. The most awards of the evening however went to a local Quebec film. Ce Qu’Il Faut Pour Vivre (The Necessities of Life), an audience pleaser about an Inuit man suffering from tuberculosis in 1950s Quebec, won three awards. The film received the Special Grand Prix Award, as well as audience awards as Best Picture and Best Canadian Film. The period film is directed by Canadian documentary filmmaker Benoit Pilon, who makes his fiction feature debut with the film.

Two films tied for the Best Screenplay award. Spanish writer/director Xavi Puebla and his collaborator Jesus Gil shared the prize for Bienvenido A Farewell-Gutman (Welcome to Farewell-Gutman), a bitter satire on the world of international business as exemplified in a hierarchical pharmaceutical company. Director Riyoichi Kimizuka won for his screenplay for Nobody To Watch Over Me, a hard-hitting policier about the intrusion of the news media in an investigation of the murder of two young girls.
