Sharing the top prize is South Korean director Kim Ki Duk for his documentary Arirang, and German director Andreas Dresen for Halt Auf Freier Strecke.
Awarded the Special Jury Prize was Andrew Zvyagintstev's Russian drama Elena, while the Directing Prize was awarded to Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof for Be Omid E Didar (Au Revoir).
Rasoulof and fellow filmmaker Jafar Panahi are currently serving a six-year prison sentence in Iran for "propaganda against the regime", a decision which has led Amnesty International to begin mobilising a petition to protest against their imprisonment.
The 'Un Certain Regard' jury for this year was comprised of actress Elodie Bouchez, British journalist Peter Bradshaw, director Emir Kusturica, Morelia Festival director Daniela Michel and Tribeca Festival's Geoffrey Gilmore.
