MUMBAI: The 27th edition of the Turin Film Festival honoured an Italian production with its top award for the first time, when La Boca del Lupo (The Mouth of the Wolf) from Pietro Marcello won the fest‘s central honour.

Veteran actors Robert Duvall and Bill Murray were co-awarded the prize for best actor for their roles in Get Low from Aaron Schneider. The film tells the story of a 1930s Tennessee hermit who threw his own funeral party before he died. 

Vatalina Saavedra, meanwhile, took home the award for best actress for her work as the title character in Sebastian Silva‘s La Nana (The Maid).

Two North American films shared the special jury prize for Crackie directed by Canadaian director Sherry White and U.S. director Damien Chazella‘s Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench.

The festival took place from 13 to 21 November.
