Fire at Sea, a documentary about Europe’s migrant crisis, has won the Golden Bear award for best movie at the Berlin Film Festival.<\/p>\n

Gianfranco Rosi’s harrowing movie depicts life on the Mediterranean island of Lampedusa.<\/p>\n

The best director award went to Mia Hansen-Love for Things to Come.<\/p>\n

Majd Mastoura won best actor for his role in Inhebbek Hedi, while Trine Dyrholm took best actress for her part in the movie, Kollektivet.<\/p>\n

Accepting the award for Fire at Sea (Fuocoammare) from the jury led by American actress Meryl Streep, Rosi said: “I hope to bring awareness. It’s not acceptable that people die crossing the sea to escape from tragedies.”<\/p>\n

The movie contrasts the ordeal of migrants as they make the sea crossing to Europe with the everyday life of the people of Lampedusa, to whom Rosi dedicated the film.<\/p>\n

Streep said: “It’s a daring hybrid of captured footage and deliberate storytelling that allows us to consider what documentary can do. It is urgent, imaginative and necessary filmmaking.”<\/p>\n

The French film Things to Come stars Isabelle Huppert as a teacher coping with the death of her mother and disintegration of her marriage.<\/p>\n

Tunisian Majd Mastoura’s best actor award was for his role in a love story following the Arab Spring, while Denmark’s Trine Dyrholm plays a wronged wife in Kollektivet (The Commune).<\/p>\n

The Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize was awarded to Death in Sarajevo and its director Danis Tanovic.<\/p>\n
