    ROBERT GUEDIGUIAN'S "ARMENIA" WINS AWARD AT ROME'S FIRST FILM FESTIVAL

    Robert Guediguian's "Armenia" has got an award at Rome's First Film
    Festival, reports AP.

    Guediguian's wife Ariane Ascaride of France won the best actress
    award for playing Anna in "Armenia," a movie documenting a young
    woman's journey of self-discovery as she searches for her father in
    her native country.

    Playing the Victim," a Russian dark comedy that is a modern-day
    adaptation of Shakespeare's "Hamlet," won the best film award.

    The movie, directed by Kirill Serebrennikov, who is also an acclaimed
    theater director, was judged the best of 16 candidates by the jury at
    the Italian capital's inaugural international festival, which began
    on Oct. 13.

    "Playing the Victim" won out over films including Davide Ferrario's
    "Primo Levi's Journey," a reconstruction of the Jewish author's
    10-month journey home following his release from Auschwitz in 1945,
    and "Nightmare Detective," a Japanese film by director Tsukamoto
    Shinya about an investigation into two mysterious suicides.

    The festival's special jury prize was awarded to "This is England,"
    Shane Meadows' movie about a young boy who joins a gang of skinheads
    led by a racist, convicted criminal.

    Colangeli won the best actor award for his interpretation in Alessandro
    Angelini's "L'aria salata" of a convict seeking to rebuild his
    relationship with his estranged son.
